I've been trying to query a list of ids from salesforce in Python, here is my code:
def query_task():
workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(r'C:\Users\jet.cai\Desktop\TaskContact.xlsx')
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0)
for rowx in range(sheet.nrows):
task_id = sheet.row_values(rowx, start_colx=0, end_colx=None)[0]
new_task_id = "'" + task_id + "'"
task_result = sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, WhoId FROM Task WHERE Id = {new_task_id}", new_task_id))
print(task_result)
As you can tell, the task_id comes from excel file, I iterate the first column and reformat it so that the soql query can be executed, however, the error message:
File "C:\Users\jet.cai\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\string.py", line 229, in get_value
return kwargs[key]
KeyError: 'new_task_id'
I can understand this format_soql function can only take in **kwargs. Well, can anybody help me out to get the right result?
Thanks
Try passing your ID as a keyword arg:
task_result = sf.query(format_soql(
"SELECT Id, WhoId FROM Task WHERE Id = {task_id}",
task_id=task_id))
From the docs, it appears the quoting is done automatically, so you can skip the new_task_id = "'" + task_id + "'"
step.
