Returned values using PermID is different from using orgID

Hi all,

I wanted to retrieve the employees of the company Claire's INC, when I type employees in the Data Item Browser it advises me to use the field 'TR.PCFullTimeEmployees'. But for my surprise if I use python to get the data and using the orgid as instrument I do not get anything. On the other hand, if I use permid I get the data.

Why is this happening? Is there any way to get the permid knowing the orgid?

Thanks in advance!!!

    I found that TR.OrganizationID works. But do you know why using the permID I get the value while using the orgid I don't?

    Hi @miriam.benito
    "

    I do not know the reason from the content side.

    However, if you try to use "108659535" with Item Data Browser, it also does not recognize this ORG ID.

    PermID is the preferred identification scheme. OrgID is a legacy scheme, which you should shun in favor of PermID. OrgID is provided for backwards compatibility, but it's not being enhanced especially for private companies.
