Pre-flight not handled for API V2
I am trying to get data for my app using wild apricot.Im using hybrid app. Currently when I am trying to access
events.https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/Accounts/209675/Events
This is my url.
Then I have to send authorization as header in the GET request.
But whenever I send authorization as header in GET request. It comes as a pre-flight and first OPTIONS request is sent.But the server is not handling OPTIONS request. How do I get over this scenario.
Request URL:https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/Accounts/209675/Events
Request Method:OPTIONS
Status Code:405 Method Not Allowed

Date:Tue, 02 Aug…1 voteThat happens because your try to access API from web browser (possibly Ionic builder). The web app makes cross origin requests, which are not supported in API.
There is no problem to access API from mobile app, our own mobile app for admins works exactly this way. However if you try to access API from ionic builder, then you will face CORS error. Here is a detailed explanation of reasons and possible workaround: blog.ionic.io/handling-cors-issues-in-ionic.
Please let me know if the tutorial helps or not.

How to access each of the options and whole structure of custom field in event
Hi,
I am creating a client for wild apricot. So to facilitate event registration the form has to be created in mobile app. To do the same the custom event fields has to be shown in the mobile client. So when I try to access the event Registration or event eventdetails using API.{
"FieldName": "Testing field",
"Value": [
{
"Id": 8815648,
"Label": "New Item 1"
}
]

API cannot change email settings?
I've been trying for a while now to get the fields in a contact called:
Email delivery disabled
Receiving emails disabledto change using the API update contact call. I can change other fields, these two just refuse to change. Is there a trick to this, or is this another one of those 'you can't do it' features?
1 voteAccording to contact fields description both of these fields are read only.
You can get contact fields metadata by calling https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/XXX/ContactFields/ The result is a collection of fields descriptions. Each record has a parameter “IsEditable”, so you can check if any specific field can be modified with API or not. -
Attempting to use mod_auth_openidc to authenticate with SSO, OAuth2 standards?
I'm attempting to configure our third party website using Apache and modauthopenidc to invoke the SSO authentication endpoints on our WildApricot website.
I've gotten as far as manually assembling a correct authentication request URL:
That shows me a login dialog as expected... However, when trying to use mod-auth-openidc to generate the authorization URL, it doesn't allow the requesttype of "authorizationcode". It only lets me set the request type to "code", which seems to break the authentication page fetch on the WA end.
This would seem to be an issue with Oauth2 'standards'. It would…

Renewing Membership with API
We would like to offer our members the chance to renew their membership from our WordPress site. How do you recommend we use the API to accomplish this in a way that integrates well with the regular Wild Apricot renewal process?
Ideally we would update the contact (change the membership level, if needed, and update the renewal due date), produce an invoice for the renewal, and record a payment for that invoice. Have I missed something?
Since the API still does not allow the creation of new invoices directly (I can generate an invoice for an event, but not for…

Bug in example PHP application
Hi,
if you're using the provided example PHP application there's a small bug that can impact authentication.In function getAuthTokenByAdminCredentials
CHANGE:
$data = sprintf("grant_type=%s&username=%s&password=%s&scope=%s", 'password', $login, $password, $this->tokenScope);
TO:
$data = sprintf("grant_type=%s&username=%s&password=%s&scope=%s", 'password', urlencode($login), urlencode($password), urlencode($this->tokenScope));
We had a user unable to login and found that a reserved character in the password meant the string was being incorrectly parsed. urlencode() escapes special characters so they are passed through correctly.

I would like to be able to create a payment without creating an invoice: Just "this contact paid this amount on this date".
I would like to be able to create a payment without creating an invoice or associating with an event: Just "this contact paid this amount on this date".
I believe that can be done from the WA web site, but I have batch payments already made via an external (private) system, and I want to upload them into WildApricot.
1 voteYou can skip Invoices in json structure. Ex:
POST https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/payments
{
“Value”: 12345,
“Contact”:{ “Id”: 30142021 },
“Tender”:{ “Id”: 1086628 },
“Comment”: “sample payment without invoices”
}This will create payment without invoices.

Anybody have done PHP client through Wild Apricot API v2. Please share if you have done any PHP code sample which shows Creating a New Payment for Specific Invoice, it will be great help.

JSON structure for creating payment is really simple: https://gist.github.com/DmitriySmirnov/002e7d502bb15005b5f3
If you use php client from https://github.com/WildApricot/ApiSamples/blob/master/PHP/sampleApplication.php

Cannot get access token after successful SSO
I am able to obtain authorization_code from OAuthLogin, but cannot get access token from oauth.wildapricot.org with it.
The failure occurs due to CORS although I believe I am making the request from the same origin (SSOfail_CORS.png).
If I disable CORS, the failure behaves differently. A pop-up is shown asking for username+password (SSOfail_noCORS.png). This pop-up keeps repeating after entering valid credentials, and must eventually be canceled to continue.
Here is the code that makes access token request:
…$.post( "https://oauth.wildapricot.org/auth/token", { authorization_code: code, client_id: "xxxxxxx", client_secret: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", redirect_uri: "https://rbc.wildapricot.org/Schedule", scope: "auto" }, function(data, status){ alert("Data " + JSON.stringify(data) + "\nStatus: " +1 voteThe reason is that you pass client_id and client_secret as a form parameters, but they should be passed in Authorization header.
API is expected to be used from server code or from standalone application. Currently JS applications are not supported. Nature of JS applications does not allow to keep secret, so any user can extract auth token from JS application. I would recommend to implement all interactions with public API using some server-side app. It can be PHP / python or even google script app.

oAuth work with Discourse SSO
I'm trying to understand if Wild Apricot's SSO implementation will work out of the box with Discourse's oAuth SSO implementation, or if I need to develop a plugin for Discourse to authenticate with WA.
Discourse, a discussion platform, provides a built-in oAuth SSO client. There are screenshots of the configuration here - https://meta.discourse.org/t/official-single-sign-on-for-discourse/13045
On Discourse, for the SSO URL, I have put in what I believe is the correct URL for the authorized application that I have made in our WA account:
https://abea.bike/sys/login/OAuthLogin?client_id=<WA CLIENT ID>&redirecturi=http%3A%2F%2Fdiscourse.cyclingsavvy.bike%2F&scope=contactsme&responsetype=authorizationcode&claimedaccountid=<WA ACCOUNT ID>
Where <WA CLIENT ID> is configured…

Data returned in contacts/me
Hi,
using example PHP code and worked out that if we authenticate to the API as a user then we can retrieve the user's ID with the contacts/me call, but it returns limited data about the user. It does not return membership field values. Is there a way, when logged in as a user, to retrieve the users record including datafields?Just for context, I'm writing a joomla auth plugin. I want to first authenticate the user (hence using the user credentials) and once authenticated I would like to get some of the data to sync into the Joomla account…
1 voteCurrent version of API provides only limited dataset in /contacts/me requests. If your application needs more information then it can access API using API key. Our Wordpress authentication plugin works exectly this way.

POS

We have to install an automatic tax recorder for revenue quebec since we include alcohol sales at our events.
Do you know if WildApricot would be able to submit taxes directly to the recorder, have you seen any successful pos (cash register) solutions implemented with wild apricot through the API?
Thank You

User Permissions
I'm working with your API and I've noticed that individual members only have permission to make requests for their own contact information and the account information. I was wondering:
Is there a way to return the users ID who has logged in rather than the ID of our WA account?
How to we assign more permissions globally as we'd like our members to be able to view and register for events through an app we're building.
Thanks so much.
1 vote1. If you access API using contact’s credentials, then you can use /v2/accounts/XXX/contacts/me request to get current user’s information, including his ID.
2. There is no way to give more permissions to contacts/members. However, if you are building web application, which runs in trusted environment, you can make some API requests using API key rather than contact credentials. When you access API with API key, then you have full permissions to events and event registrations.

Please help with API version 1 to API version 2
I am part of a voluntary organization and we received an e-mail about updating to API version 2 and same changes that needed to be made. We are all in way over our head and I just took over the website management this week. I would appreciate any and all help.
We don't even know if we are using API. I will do anything I need to do but I really need help. Again, I am not paid this is for a completely voluntary organization.
Thanks,
Bradley Bearden
1 voteIf you know nothing about API, then most probably you don’t use it and can forget about that e-mail.
However if you, or someone of your collegues developed custom software to automate your work, then you should ask a developer to update this software.
