python databricks sdk get object path from id

BriGuy — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:58:14 GMT

when using the databricks SDK to get permissions of objects we get

inherited_from_object=['/directories/1636517342231743']

from what I can see the workspace list and get_status methods only work with the actual path. Is there a way to look up that directory path from the ID?

Regards

Did you try with the GET /api/2.0/workspace/get-status endpoint
Solution 1:-
Brute Force with workspace.list() and Recursion - This can be achieved using get_Stataus() method.

Let me know if you require code snippet.

I'd appreciate a snippet if you have one.

@BriGuy Here I have small code snippet which we have used. Hope this works well with you

from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient w = WorkspaceClient() def find_path_by_object_id(target_id, base_path="/"): items = w.workspace.list(path=base_path) for item in items: try: status = w.workspace.get_status(item.path) if str(status.object_id) == str(target_id): return item.path if item.object_type == "DIRECTORY": found = find_path_by_object_id(target_id, item.path) if found: return found except Exception: continue return None target_object_id = "<yourObejctID>" resolved_path = find_path_by_object_id(target_object_id) print(f"Path for ID {target_object_id} is: {resolved_path}")
