How to get UID of categories/boards

When I hit https://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/categories/uid/200 it returns me category details in XML format.

The response looks similar to the response of https://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/<ID of the board>.

Same case with https://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/boards/uid/200 as well.

So now my question is how can I get the UIDs of categories/boards?

Uids are "internal" ids and differ from stage to prod, these are not exposed via API.

Below thread would be helpful.

  TariqHussain,
  
  Thanks for the response.
  
  Is there any way to get count of such UIDs at least ?

santosh_csc- No, there is no API to get the count as well. However, You can get the UID of production boards.

The URL of every board contains node_id which can be used as UID.
