Get all items per user of all boards

I can’t find the GraphQL query to get get all items per per user of all board combined.

I want to get a list of all item for user X, it could be that these items are on more than one board.
It is necessary for us to create a dashboard with all items per user for a day and one for the next day and so on.

Hey Jeffrey,

Welcome to the Developer’s Community! :+1:

You can use the “get_items_by_column_value” operation to get all the items assigned to a particular user. This only can query the items on a specific board (not all items on your entire account).

That said, we’ve been talking internally about adding a Search API in the future, to get items matching specific conditions on the account-level. I will pass your vote for this kind of functionality over to the team!

Cheers,
Dipro

Hey Dion!

At the moment this isn’t possible, but thanks for the upvote here! I’ve passed the feedback along to the team :slight_smile:

Welcome to the community btw!

Please send entire query for ‘get_items_by_column_value’

Hi @abhi,

That query varies a bit depending on which column you are trying to get information from. For example, on the email column it would be something like this:

{
  items_by_column_values(board_id: XXX, column_id: "email", column_value: "test@test.com") {
    id
  }
}

Would you be able to start a new thread and share some details on what you’re trying to achieve?

Hi @dipro ,

Following up on this request? I just started using the Monday API - I’m trying to do simple search to find a particular item which has column title == “Phone Number” and column value == “1234567890”… The problem is that we have 12 boards, so it seems like I either have to…

  • Make 12 requests to items_by_column_values, one per board (not ideal)

or

  • Query all items on every board, and all colums, then loop through everything (not ideal)

Am I missing something? I assume this is a common pattern… just looking for the same kind of functionality we get through the Monday UI…

Thanks
