Hi,
Yes, we have a unique id for the modules. try this
I tried same for the line items, but didn't get the unique ID.

Line items are assigned numeric IDs, but line item metadata is not exposed in the API at that level of detail because there is no requirement to address them individually. An export can be configured to provide line item names, which are unique within the scope of each module.

What you have outlined is exactly how i have done it however the challenge i am facing is some of the line item names are bigger than 60 char which is prohibiting me for using these as codes when bringing back into my anaplan model .
Bit of a background i have written up a python script which collects line item level information from various models (exporting grid -line items ) DEV , UAT , Prod and brings into another anaplan model on a routine bases . My client uses this to perform some analytics in-terms of how each model is growing space wise and some other KPI's .
Challenge i am facing is a line one i highlighted above + line item name will be same in let say DEV and prod . Also cases like what if line item name was updated ? . Therefore i was hoping to get some uniqueness
Thanks @VIGNESH.M i did not try this . I will give this a try
@karank ,
Not sure if this helps you, but you may want to use the Code of the line item:

Hope this helps,

@rob_marshall Thanks its a very good workaround however in my case it will not work as it has to be manually updated .
@VIGNESH.M
I tried the api call you outlined above and it works 98% of the times thanks !!!!
For some reasons it misses some the modules from a particular model ????
I cant figure out why it would omit just some modules . I have attached an output of what it misses
cannot figure out a pattern may be you can throw some light
Just found out what it was . It was my access 😛
all good
Thanks
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…
Hi Everyone, We have a requirement in Anaplan Consolidation & Reporting (Fluence) where the Entity Structure needs to change effective January 2026. The key requirement is that the existing entity structure should continue to be applicable for all reporting and consolidation periods through December 2025, while the new…
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
