Best way to lookup an item via Uuid

Hey all simple question but what is the quickest way to reference an item I have the uuid for.
Basically I have an api workflow I call through api connector which returns an object, let’s say in this instance a user.

What it returns is the json representation of user which I can’t reference directly, I have to use the uuid and Do a search for:first item to then get the user I want

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to reference a single item that I have the uuid for?

Gee struggling to get an answer on the forum these days

That’s the way to do it.

PS - the forum is slow today because it’s Thanksgiving in the US so many people are taking the day off - even those who usually work nights and weekends.

Thanks Scott, I’m assuming it’s faster to have the object rather than search the uuid or is there something in the back end that makes it as fast

If I am using it a lot, then I might well do the lookup once, on page load, and set it to be a state on the page.

But for an API lookup that would not work, and I can’t think if a “faster” way than doing the way you are doing it.

Awesome cheers Nigel
