im keeping it as simple as possible but still dont know where im going wrong. 

im trying to get a sequence id using;

episode = '107'

sequence = '02'

seqFilters = 'name','is',episode+'_'+sequence

sgSeq = sg.find_one('Sequence', seqFilters)

 

i know sequence 107_02 exists, but i keep getting the error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

# XMLRPC Fault 103:

# # API read() invalid/missing hash 'filters' (general condition):

# {"paging"=>{"entities_per_page"=>1, "current_page"=>1},

# "return_fields"=>["id"],

# "type"=>"Sequence",

# "filters"=>["name", "is", "107_02"],

# "return_only"=>"active",

"return_paging_info"=>false}#

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Error: Fault: file T:/hhh/cg/scripts/shotgunConnect\shotgun_api3.py line 1659: #

 

im still new to this, was wondering if anyone could shed some light?

 

thanks,

Lee

  Hi Lee,

   

  Try this for your filter syntax:

   

  seqFilters = [ [ 'code','is',episode+'_'+sequence ] ]

   

  Some entities have 'code', some have 'name', (I know, inconsistent), so to know which one it is for sure, right+click on the column header and then select 'configure' and then you can see what you should be using.

  

   

  Also note that the filter should be a list object, with one or more lists inside, thus the double brackets.

   

  Don't know if you have seen this, but here's a handy link that you may want to bookmark:

  https://github.com/shotgunsoftware/python-api/wiki

   

  Gives a pretty good run-through of the syntax for using the API.   Let us know if you run into any more snags, we'll get you up and running!

   

  Cheers,
