Additional context

"Hello, thank you for your API. I am seeking support for the following API call:

curl -X POST "https://api.koios.rest/api/v0/pool_metadata"
-H "Accept: application/json"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"_pool_bech32_ids":["pool100wj94uzf54vup2hdzk0afng4dhjaqggt7j434mtgm8v2gfvfgp"]}'

I need to know the pool bech32 ID in order to make the above curl request. Is it possible to use the pool name or ticker instead of the pool ID?"

THANK YOU.

Unfortunately pool ticker does not provide a unique mapping, as multiple pools can share same ticker. Also, being off-chain - there are a small section of pools that may not resolve (as of smash/dbsync 13.0.5 - this is already fixed in 13.1.0, just not marked as a release from tag yet)
However, for most pools - you can use something like below to fetch the pool ID:

curl -s "https://api.koios.rest/api/v0/pool_list?ticker=eq.JFLD" | jq -r .[0].pool_id_bech32

# pool100wj94uzf54vup2hdzk0afng4dhjaqggt7j434mtgm8v2gfvfgp

Thank you for the quick response.

The same can be achieved using the Java library by the following code:

Options options = Options.builder().option(Filter.of("ticker", FilterType.EQ, "JFLD")).build();
Result<List<Pool>> poolListResult = poolService.getPoolList(options);
Assertions.assertTrue(poolListResult.isSuccessful());
Assertions.assertNotNull(poolListResult.getValue());
log.info(poolListResult.getValue().toString());

Result<List<PoolMetadata>> metadataResult = poolService.getPoolMetadata(List.of(poolListResult.getValue().get(0).getPoolIdBech32()), Options.EMPTY);
Assertions.assertTrue(metadataResult.isSuccessful());
List<PoolMetadata> poolMetadata = metadataResult.getValue();
Assertions.assertNotNull(poolMetadata);
Assertions.assertFalse(poolMetadata.isEmpty());
log.info(poolMetadata.get(0).toString());
