Web API, get record by call number ?

glorieux-f
In the documentation of Web API, it is said that
[qmode] « Searching of other fields will be possible in the future. »
There are various messages in this forum or https://groups.google.com/g/zotero-dev confirming this intention.

Is it available but not yet documented ? Which piece of code shall we follow ?
This line ? https://github.com/zotero/dataserver/blob/master/model/API.inc.php#L464

    It's not available.

    Thanks. Yous can guess the second question. Is it planned for the next months, or not planned ? I’m asking that to choose the best solution for developments.

    We are using Zotero to manage collections of texts edited in XML/TEI and published on the web. The internal key of a zotero record is lost if we have te reimport a collection (format Zotero RDF). Our call number is for us the most robust identifier. It would have be nice if it was possible to get a record by that column via the API. If it’s not a priority for you, we will continue to work with Zotero RDF export.

    It's certainly still planned, but we don't have an ETA for it, sorry.

    Thanks.
    I will see in the next months if I’m able to climb the different steps to become a contributor.
