Best practices for working with account labels
If you change an Account Label, the change might not be reflected immediately in Snaps that use that account. In the UI, you can reopen and resave every pipeline that uses the modified Account to refresh the information. To avoid this issue when working with APIs, refer to the Account instance by its asset ID, instead of its label. Follow these steps to find the asset ID to use with APIs:
- Export the pipeline to view its metadata. The
.slp
file generated by the export is a JSON-formatted file. - In the JSON tree, under
snap_map
, go to the branch for the Snap that uses the modified Account.Note: Undersnap_map
, the keys are the Snap asset IDs. Use the Snap'sclass_fqid
andclass_id
to help you find the appropriate Snap. - Under the appropriate Snap's branch, the Account's asset ID is the value of
property_map.account.account_ref.value.ref_id.value
.
