Add label to card (the label is from another board)

I have a label that I created on board B1, and a card on B2. Now I want to add the label to the card.

When I POST the id of the label to /1/cards/<cardid>/idLabels I get a 404. When I POST the id of a label that was created on B1: success.

However when I look at the labels resource of the card, every label includes a board ID, and IDs are globally unique.

Can I add a label from a different board, or doesn't Trello work like that?

Every label from every board has got a different ID. So you cannot use same label ID for more than 1 board.

I would advise to

  1. create a new label if needed

  2. if you are using generic labels which can be defined by color (yellow, orange, red, blue, green, etc) you can get their unique ids by calling /boards/BOARD_ID/labels and looping though the json until you find the right color name.
