How to get all the tasks for a specific appitem

Question

I have spent the last 4 hrs trying to figure out how to get the list of Tasks that reference a specific AppItem.

The following do NOT work:

// Doesn't work
// $tasks = PodioTask::get_all(array(
// 'reference' => 'rmticket:' . $rmt->item_id,
// ));

// $tasks = PodioTask::get_all(array(
// 'reference' => array('type' => 'rmticket', 'id' => $rmt->item_id),
// ));

// $tasks = PodioTask::get_all(array(
// 'item' => $rmt->item_id,
// ));

// $tasks = PodioTask::get_all(array(
// 'ref_id' => $rmt->item_id,
// ));

Documentation here: https://developers.podio.com/doc/tasks/get-tasks-77949

says that the parameter for this is:

reference

The list of references on the form "type:id" separated by semi-colon.

That is the first thing I tried, and I get the following error:

Uncaught PodioBadRequestError: "Invalid value "rmticket" (string): must be one of {'comment', 'rating', 'invoice', 'campaign', 'app_revision', 'app', 'share', 'system', 'hook', 'tag', 'voucher', 'file', 'flow_effect', 'vote', 'partner', 'message', 'conversation', 'share_install', 'form', 'space_member_request', 'space', 'notification', 'auth_client', 'question', 'integration', 'payment', 'subscription', 'live', 'label', 'answer', 'icon', 'location', 'status', 'org_member', 'widget', 'extension_installation', 'file_service', 'app_field', 'alert', 'profile', 'user', 'task_action', 'org', 'condition_set', 'embed', 'condition', 'space_member', 'identity', 'item_participation', 'task', 'extension', 'linked_account', 'grant', 'flow', 'batch', 'contract', 'project', 'item', 'connection', 'flow_condition', 'question_answer', 'action', 'item_revision', 'voting', 'promotion', 'bulletin', 'view'

The last one is the closest, but as you can see, while I CANNOT send a 'reference' => type:id it seems to require it. Is this a bug in Podio's API?

Finally figured it out (no thanks to the Podio documentation). This works:

$tasks = PodioTask::get_all(array(
    'grouping' => 'reference',    
    'reference' => 'item:' . $rmt->item_id,
));

Apparently, the "type" they are looking for is NOT the type of the Item, but one of a list of possible "reference" types. Course, that COULD have been documented, but as with much of Podio's API docs, they have LOTS of docs, but much of it is just top-level "basic" docs with little detail and lots of "hand-waving"...frustrating...

Sorry if Podio documentation appears to be not super clean. Please feel free to suggest improvements and Podio dev team will definitely review it and might add it :) – Pavlo - Podio Nov 13 '17 at 03:02
