How can two targets with the same name be retrieved as separate items via the API?

I know I can retrieve a target item via its name 'tar01':

Code:

item = RDK.Item('tar01',ITEM_TYPE_TARGET)

But suppose I have two different targets in the station tree with the same name, 'tar01', which could be linked to a different robot in the same station. How can I retrieve both as separate items?

Best regards,

Having multiple targets with the same name is not a good premise.
你是在自找麻烦。

But anyway.

You can retrieve all the items in your station with ItemList.//www.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robo...k.ItemList
Then you can iterate through the items and look for all the ITEM_TYPE_TARGET is name "Your_Name".

You can then retrieve the robot linked to the target with ".getLink()"//www.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/PythonAPI/robo...em.getLink

Thanks Jeremy, using ItemList() will work for me!

I understand it's recommended to avoid two targets with the same name, but it is a plausible situation I can see occurring e.g. when copy-pasting in a station. In fact I could now use ItemList() to check for double use of the same name for any item and issue a warning or automatically apply some changes.

Thanks again,

Maarten
