Get Rally Test Case _ref id in order to update test case result

Question

In order to update a test case result in Rally, I am using this payload. The payload works without any issue as long as I can get provide _ref id for the test case. I am able to obtine the _ref id using pyral but wanted to swich over to Rally Rest API as documented here - Rally API.

{
    "TestCaseResult": {
        "Build": "qa_test",
        "Date": curr_time,
        "Notes": "any note",
        "TestCase": {
            "_ref": f"https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/testcase/{obj_id}",
        },
        "Verdict": "Pass"
    }
}

thanks in advance

I could not find any documentation to obtine ref id for a test case. I have tried using pyral but I am trying to switch over to rest api from Rally

What do you know about the TestCase you want the ref for? You can query for TestCases which match your criteria using the API. For example:

https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/testcase?query=(Name = "Example TestCase")

Which will return info about matching TestCases including their refs. See the docs for more details about how to query using the API.
