PI Objectives API

Retrieve Objective Groups, Objectives, and their linked board items and sub-items for a PI Board. Linked-item fields reflect the board's source system: ADO-connected boards expose tfsId / tfsURL; Jira-connected boards expose jiraId / jiraKey. Everything else is identical.

Quick reference

Step Action Method Path
1 List collections (only if filtering boards) GET /api/<companyPrefix>/collections
2 List boards (gets boardId) GET /api/<companyPrefix>/boards
3 List objective groups GET /api/<companyPrefix>/objective-groups

All URLs: https://rest.kendis.io + the path above.

How it fits together

graph LR
  A[GET /collections] --> B[GET /boards]
  B --> C[GET /objective-groups?boardId=…]
  C --> D[Objectives → linkedItems → subItems]

An Objective Group contains Objectives; each Objective has linkedItems (board items such as Features), and each linked item can have subItems (e.g. User Stories). Completion roll-ups are controlled by completionType, and team/sprint enrichment by additionalColumns.

Don't extract board IDs from browser URLs

The URL in the app shows a session ID, not the board ID — they differ. Always fetch identifiers via List Collections and List Boards first.
