Article ID in Storefront graphql API

[Hewrin]

Hi friends,

I'm building an app that will get the Shops Articles via the Storefront API. The user will then be able to update articles (via the Admin REST API)

It seems the ID field for Articles in the Storefront API and the Admin REST API are different.

For a particular article I have the ID coming from the Admin REST API has a value of 198840589 whereas if I use the Storefront API the value is "Z2lkOi8vc2hvcGlmeS9BcnRpY2xlLzE5ODg0MDU4OQ==".

How do I reconcile these two values? Using the Storefront API ID, how do I get the Article from the Admin REST API?

Many thanks in advance

Hey @Hewrin 

The Storefront API is a base64 encoded version of the gid - you can encode / decode these values to share IDs between the two.
