Url has one id, page.context.message.id is a different ID??

When I use the API browser for the URL id, t5/Discussions/How-about-a-Jelly-baby/m-p/7973 [id: 7973],  I get the correct results I'm looking for. However, when I use page.context.message.id => '272', which is a completely different message! What's going on here, any ideas before I open a support ticket? Are there IDs and Unique IDs and are they getting mixed up?

I'm trying to get the ID to look up the cover_image and images array for an Open Graph component. But failing because of this.

    Hi Inactive User ,

    Try "uniqueId" instead of "id".

    The "uniqueId" is a community-wide unique message id and corresponds to what you're seeing in the URL. The "id" is a board-specific message id.

      Thanks, I must've missed that in the context objects docs.

        Hi TreyWaddell ,

        page.context.message.id should always give a node-relative message id, whereas page.context.message.uniqueId should always give a globally unique message id.

        The thing to be careful about is which message is actually in context. This is typically dependent on the page URL. So within a thread, there are URLs that correspond to each individual message (i.e. permalink). And if you use that URL, that will be the message in context.

        If you always want the root/topic message regardless of which message is in context, you can try to use page.context.thread instead of page.context.message. More details on that here: https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/reference/page-1

        You could also get the root/topic from the page.context.message by doing something like: page.context.message.discussion.topicMessage
