Reusing deleted Note IDs

Notecard API
1

Hi,

for Database Notefiles, is it possible to reuse the notee IDs that have been deleted?

I get {note-noexist} when checking for it, but {note-exists} when trying to add a new note but with a Note ID that has been deleted before.

Thanks!

Hey @Jakov,

Yes.

When you use the note.delete request, Notecard sets a deleted flag on the Note so that it can sync that deletion with Notehub. You can still view the delete-pending Note by running a note.get request and setting the deleted flag to true.

After you sync the deletion the Note ID becomes available again, and you can use it with note.add.

Yes, this is what I have observed as well. I’ve just tested this moments after I posted the question, as I wanted to get an official confirmation.

So only after a sync, do we get to reuse the ID of a Note that has been previously deleted.

Thanks!
