Postman collection
I previously posted about whether anyone had written a Swagger file for WA API that could be used to connct Microsoft PowerApps to WA. New release of PowerApps supports using a Postman collection instead of a Swagger file. Has anyone built a Postman collection for WA API?
2 votesPostman is able to import collections from swagger specification. Our APIs are published on swaggerhub here: https://app.swaggerhub.com/search?type=API&owner=WildApricot

API calls to update contacts suddenly failing
We have a Google Apps script that is used to update a custom contact field. This code has been working and unchanged for the past year, and has suddenly lost the ability to update contacts. Other API calls to get contacts, update event registrations, etc. are still working fine, but can't update any contact fields through the API. Attempts to do so result in an HTTP 500 error. We are still able to update contacts through the web interface.
Relevant information pasted after the break.

Swagger
Has anyone built an OpenAPI (Swagger) file for connecting to WA APIs? I'm trying to make a sign-in kiosk with Microsoft PowerApps and it connects through a JSON OpenAPI definition.

Contacts/me Returns null
Hi!
Using some of the sample code from the GitHub repo I've created a few custom PHP pages for events on a third party site. I'm trying to make the registration functionality work.
The problem that I'm running into is the Contacts/me API call returns null even with a user logged in. I'm using the format:
{baseAPIaddress}/{version}/Accounts/{accountID}/Contacts/meI am able to run Contact/{ContactID} and get the relevant data back. Do anyone know what might cause this?
Thanks, Jason.
1 voteThe problem was solved.
Note that API key isn’t connected with any contact. So contacts/me will return null if you are not authenticated by login/password. -
api events
I am having trouble adding a new event through the api. I get a 403 error. Here is my google script code if anybody would be so kind as to point out where I have messed up. :) Thanks so much.

fieldvalues contact api
I have an interesting issue you can help me with. I am using the Contacts API and calling it from a Javascript call using the WA API wrapper for jQuery. I got this code from the WA developer forum and loaded it into the files section to call locally from the WA install (rather than from the original location).

I am using the API to create a URL that I will pass to an external SaaS system, so I need to collect various contact/membership field data.

Profile last updated field differs in filter from value read in API ?
Hi,
we have a job that queries via the API searching with a filter on "Profile last updated". The query can return no results, it doesn't find any contacts changed since the last query run. However if we just iterate through the contacts and read the Profile last updated field it can be more recent shown in the API results than displayed in the WA web interface. It appears when reading via the API the "last login date" is used as the Profile last updated date if the last login is newer than the last profile update.Summary:

Setting a Password when creating a new contact/member
Hi,
I need to create a contact through the API through a 3rd party server. I have no problem creating a contact. However, when I set a password and try to login after I have created the contact, I get an error saying that I have the wrong login information.
Secondly, when someone signs up they get an email with a password sent to them. Is this possible as well through the API? When I create a contact through the API I want to be able to send them the password in their email so they can login.
1 vote1. Creating contact
- Newly generated password should be passed in $postFields instead of “12345678”
- Method createWAContact should be modified to use a password
Please see improved version of your code here: https://gist.github.com/DmitriySmirnov/8d65a1417d9ffdfc9efe762fa492bbcc
2. Sending password
Currently you can’t send such email using API, however there is a lot of PHP libraries for sending emails. -

I need to access the "group participation" data for the current user. Can anybody show me how to access this data?
1 voteGroup participation data can be foubd in the fiels with name ‘Group participation’. For example:
var contact = getContactById( 123 )

API with non-administrative permissions

Hi,

Built-in export/reports data via api
Can we please access the data from the built-in Wild Apricot "export" buttons via the API?
Example: We currently go to Finances > Payments & Refunds > [Export button] > [tick all boxes] > [export as csv], then open the downloaded file and copy/paste into a Google Sheet so we can organise it.
Surely when the Web Interface generates this export it is simply an internal API call... I want to skip the login/generate/download/copy/paste steps and instead pull the same report data straight in to the Google Sheet via the API. Is this possible?

Change the batch interface to support the POST method
I have been trying to call the batch API interface from Google Apps Script. Apps Script correctly realizes that BATCH is not a valid HTTP method and prevents me from submitting the request. There must also be many other HTTP client libraries that prevent this.
The solution is simple - just extend the batch API to also allow a request submitted with the POST method.

Demo Joomla Authentication Module
Hi,
I've got a Joomla authentication module working with WildApricot which I'm making available for anyone to use.I'm not a PHP coder or joomla expert, so take this with a grain of salt and understand it will need customisation for your site. I've loaded the source on github. I'd recommend it only experienced Joomla/PHP users and you will need to alter it.
Hopefully someone with more experience can take this code and make it more generic so others may benefit.
https://github.com/psike73/joomla_waauth
Allows authentication against WildApricot user/password.

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

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

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…
