Viewing a Content Item’s Vanity URL

Problem

You need to get the vanity URL for a content item.

Solution

Use the unique identifier (GUID) of the content item to look up its vanity URL.

Python
R

from posit import connect

CONTENT_GUID = "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9"

client = connect.Client()

vanity = client.get(f"/v1/content/{CONTENT_GUID}/vanity").json()

The resulting object is a JSON dictionary with information on the vanity URL.

>>> vanity
{'content_guid': '154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9',
 'path': '/my-vanity-url/',
 'created_time': '2024-04-25T18:27:16Z'}

library(connectapi)

CONTENT_GUID <- "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9"

client <- connect()

content <- content_item(client, CONTENT_GUID)
vanity <- get_vanity_url(content)

The get_vanity_url() function returns a character vector containing the vanity URL.

> vanity
[1] "/my-vanity-url/"
