# How to Get all Assignments for a User

Assignments are stored as edges. You can view all of the assignment edges for a user in two ways:

#### View them at api2.openreview\.net

1. In your browser search bar, enter the following. If you want to view assignments for an Area Chair, change 'Reviewers' to 'Area\_Chairs'. Replace your\_venue\_id with your full venue id. This will bring up all of the assignment edges for all of your venue's reviewers.

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```url
api2.openreview.net/edges?invitation=<your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Assignment&groupBy=tail
```

{% endcode %}

2\. Now we want to filter by a particular reviewer. If you look at a specific edge, you will see that the field "tail" corresponds to the profile ID of the assigned reviewer. So to see only the assignments for reviewer \~User\_One1, change your search query to the following:

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```url
api2.openreview.net/edges?invitation=<your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Assignment&tail=~User_One1
```

{% endcode %}

#### Retrieve them with the Python Client

1. If you have not done so, you will need to [install and instantiate the openreview-py client](/getting-started/using-the-api/installing-and-instantiating-the-python-client.md).
2. Set a variable 'tail' to the profile ID of the user you are interested in, for example:

```python
tail = "~User_One1"
```

3\. Set a variable 'invitation' to the invitation of the edges you are trying to view. If your user of interest is a reviewer, the invitation would be in the format \<your\_venue\_id>/Reviewers/-/Assignment.

```python
invitation = "<your_venue_id>/Reviewers/-/Assignment
```

4\. Retrieve all of the edges posted to that invitation for the user of interest.

```python
edges = client.get_all_edges(invitation = invitation, tail = tail)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openreview.net/how-to-guides/paper-matching-and-assignment/how-to-get-all-assignments-for-a-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
