Get Apps returns an app’s spaceId, but does not indicate whether it is a guest space. Get Space requires that I know in advance whether a space is public or guest, because the URL is different in each case. It would be convenient if there were a Get Spaces API that returned information for all spaces in one call. As it stands now, I have to assume that a space is public, call Get Space accordingly, then if that fails, issue the call again with a modified URL. I have to redundantly include the spaceId as part of the URL and as an argument. ---

Hello John! Can you tell us little bit more about your case? Where are you trying to do it from? From a guest space? Or a (public) space? Thank you ---

I’m working on a .NET library that provides a common SQL-based interface to multiple data providers, including Kintone. The library can be used in a console or desktop app, with user/password supplied via a connection string. The library uses Get Apps to derive a list of “tables” that the authenticated user has access to. If the library references a table by name, and the corresponding spaceId is not null, there is no way to determine whether it is in a guest space other than the brute force method described in the last paragraph of my original post. ---

Hello John,   When executing the API from an external service, It is difficult to determine in advance that it is a guest space.   ※When acquiring space information, the URI is different for space and guest space.   For this reason, we have to assume that it is a space, as you have done, and if you run the API and get an error, the only way to deal with it is to switch the URI.   Get Space: [https://developer.kintone.io/hc/en-us/articles/115006107968](https://forum.kintone.dev/hc/en-us/articles/115006107968)   Sorry about the inconvenience.   Sean ---

I can live with the workaround. Thanks for your reply. ---

John, thanks for sharing your use-case. Sorry we couldn’t help out due to specification limitations - I’ve shared your scenario with our Kintone dev team! ---

I also face the same situation. It will be nice if Kintone improve this inconvenient feature.
