Difference in output in running a snippet

So I was running a snippet to output a Wayfinder listing.
I wanted the output to be dynamic since depending on what page
I’d end up on, the list would change.

I decided to use the modx api call:

This method seems to output based on the current document no matter what params I pass.
So If I have nested pages, it would list only documents below even if I passed over $params = array(’startId’ => `2`)

No if I echo a modx snippet call like

This way output the correct listing on each page.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

Perhaps it has to do with the backticks used in the $params = array(’startId’ => `2`), these should be single quotes like so:

Backticks are used only in snippet params which are called inside the normal snippet tags, like your echo example.

Hope that helps

Actually, that being an integer value, it doesn’t need any quote marks at all.
