Working with IDs

All transfers and sharing requests created within Hexiosec Transfer have an ID.

  • For sent transfers, this is the part of the URL between /d/ and #.
  • For sharing requests, this is the part of the URL after /i/.

When working with the CLI, these IDs are used to update or modify a specific transfer or sharing request. This is fine for scripted integrations that use the CLI with the --json flag, however these are cumbersome to handle when manually interacting with the CLI.

In order to simplify the commands, all IDs support a partial, case-insensitive prefix match. For example, if a request link was generated as https://transfer.hexiosec.com/i/CICysCMlQesdfWJHISE5Xg, the following are all valid commands for viewing the request status:

  • hxtransfer request CICysCMlQesdfWJHISE5Xg
  • hxtransfer request cicyscmlqesdfwjhise5xg
  • hxtransfer request cic

Important

This partial prefix only works in CLI commands for an authenticated user. Truncated links cannot be used in a browser and will show a Not Found error.
