How Can I get workflow and workflow history for current Item using Sitecore API Item Service?

Get item details using below query

Query to get Item

/item/{id}/database&language&version&includeStandardTemplateFields&includeMetadata&fields

Json Result

{
          "ItemID": "25a40733-babf-4f16-a025-a3ffb0c84c05",
          "ItemName": "itemName",
          "ItemPath": "/sitecore/content/Home",
          "ParentID": "59b7047e-1063-4f2e-a452-4ca466ecb621",
          "TemplateID": "3191fecf-905e-4ca1-a007-05ba9f5b7455",
          "TemplateName": "templatename",
          "CloneSource": null,
          "ItemLanguage": "en",
          "ItemVersion": "1",
          "DisplayName": "testuser",
          "HasChildren": "True",
 }

in the above result don't have the workflow details.

Thanks in advance.

You would need to double check but I think you have 2 options here:

  1. Set includeStandardTemplateFields parameter to true (includeStandardTemplateFields=true):
/item/{id}/database&language&version&includeStandardTemplateFields=true&includeMetadata&fields

In this case you should get all the fields of the item.

  1. Set fields parameter to the "," separated fields you want to receive from api (fields=__Workflow,__Workflow%20state,__Display_name):
/item/{id}/database&language&version&includeStandardTemplateFields=true&includeMetadata&fields=__Workflow,__Workflow%20state,__Display_name

In this case you will only get the fields from the parameter.

In both scenarios you will not get the full workflow history anyway. I don't think that's possible with Sitecore API Item Service.

I haven't tested it locally but it should do the trick

It does not return Workflow history, but you can check the current workflow state information. Inclde below querystring to get all possible values from the ItemService API:

includeStandardTemplateFields=true (default value is false)

sitecore/api/ssc/item/87D9ADCB-08CE-4396-86C4-8BAE04D833F7/?database=master&includeStandardTemplateFields=true

For more detail, you can check the below Sitecore blog/article
