Getting Cost center value for Computer unit

Hello people

I'm pretty much new in GLPI platform.
Currently desperately trying to get "cost center" parameter - from drop down menu under Computer Asset. Asset->Computer->device->cost center value.
I wish to get this value using REST API in python. What would be the best approach ? Do some kind of search with some kind of criteria ? I do successfully get all other things for particular Computer device, though, yet don't have a clue how to get to cost center field. Need help
Thank you for any advice !

Re: Getting Cost center value for Computer unit

I dont see any "cost center" dropdown in computer : are you looking for informations in "management" tab ?

Re: Getting Cost center value for Computer unit

Cost Center comes with FusionInventory plugin. We use GLPI version 9.5.2 + FusionInventory 9.5.0+1.0. In this version there has been a change in database schema and it seems that REST API has also changed. We also need to access "cost center" field, but have not yet discovered how.

If anybody knows, how to access this field through GLPI REST API, please let me know.

After inquiring in the company, I have just found out, that the "Cost Center" field is a custom field created with "Additional Fields" plugin.

Do you happen to know, how could we access these custom fields via GLPI REST API?

Re: Getting Cost center value for Computer unit

to get cost center, I would use GUI to search some asset using cost center criteria and then look at URL criterias.
one aof these criteria gives cost field ID . keep this ID in mind.

then search some assets using forcedisplay parameter  :   search/Computer?criteria[0]......&forcedisplay[0]=MyCostCenterFieldID

otherway to get CostCenter Field ID  is  .../glpi/apirest.php/listSearchOptions/Computer  and you'll get all fields ID to force display you need
