Hi Chris, unfortunately none of us here have played around with the API
yet.  I would recommend inquiring on the galaxy-central's mailing list (
mailto:galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu <galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu>).

- workflows, histories, libraries, and datasets have IDs in the database
but they may be obscured in the URLs used in galaxy; in the db they're just
integer primary keys
- histories must exist to do any work, but you can create a new history
