Ok so I hooked up my Raspberry Pi, in the hopes of finding my idSite there, but I still cant find it.

I really thought i had it figured out but i guess not.

Are you asking for a "installation ID" or "portal ID"?

Can you log into VRM?

If "installation ID", its in the URL when you log into VRM.

If "portal ID" its under the settings section of VRM


Did you read this?

Has this been addressed yet? I have read all of the links presented here, and it does not solve the fundamental problem that the userID value needs to be obtained prior to functionally using the API. Is there any way to get this other than logging into the site in a browser and copying it from the URL?


I'm working on an app using the API and right out of the gate I'm going to have to either attempt to automate this in a haphazard way, rather then obtaining it from the API after the user provides the login credentials to authenticate API access..


Please tell me I'm missing something and this is available from the API in some way.
