  1. GET /accounts/{accountId}/events

    The swagger docs do not really show how to add the parameters to the HTTP Get request (e.g., $filter). For example, how do I format the request to get all events that have the substring "XYZ" in a Tags field?
    Also what is the syntax of the "TextIndex, Supported operations: substringof." parameter? You have all these good parameters in the Swagger site, but no real examples of how to use the syntax. Are we supposed to guess? Help me out here please. Thanks.

  2. Swaggerhub returns 403 Forbidden on all requests to API

    Real simple: Using Swaggerhub to play with the API. I give it a valid API key, it is able to login/authenticate successfully, but the only function returning code 200 OK is default (/) ... when I try the /accounts function or any other function I get 403. Tried 2 different API keys..... with both read-only and admin level access but No matter what I do I get a 403 trying to test the API using the swaggerhub UI

    That typically occures if you don’t check “Auto” checkbox in the scopes list (swaggerhub does not allow to check it by default).

    So when oAuth service gets your response it creates oAuth token with almost no permissions. Technically it is totally valid situation, but such token is almost useless.

    So the solution is to check “Auto” checkbox in the list of scopes.

  3. getting an oath token using curl

    I am attempting to write a tiny app to download my club's calendar from wild apricot. I plan to write this in python 3, triggered by cron. The first step is to get an oauth token. As a test I tried the following curl command but I receive a 401/unauthorized error. Please note that XXXXX is not my real application ID :-)

    I tried variations, and also some similar code in python with the same result.

    Any hints?

    curl -v -H 'Authorization: Basic BASE64ENCODED("XXXXX")' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' -d '{"granttype":"client_credentials", "scope":"auto"}' https://oauth.wildapricot.org/auth/token

    Here is an example

    1 Build your Authorization header.
    – Assume you API key is b8gxv-njhci-XXXXXXXXXXXX-50
    – encode the line “APIKEY:b8gxv-njhci-XXXXXXXXXXXX-50”, you will get
    “QVBJS0VZOmI4Z3h2LW5qaGNpLVhYWFhYWFhYWFhYWC01MA==”

    2 use this value to make a call
    curl -X POST \
    https://oauth.wildapricot.org/auth/token \
    -H ‘Authorization: Basic QVBJS0VZOmI4Z3h2LW5qaGNpLVhYWFhYWFhYWFhYWC01MA==’ \
    -H ‘Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ \
    -d ‘scope=auto&grant_type=client_credentials’

    ==
    I recommend to use POSTMAN before writing any code.

  4. I have successfully integrated the WA API into Integromat

    Integromat.com is like Zapier or IFTT but a bit more powerful AND easy to use. I'm added an authorization Connector and two modules for retrieving and filtering Contacts. Using their Slack integration I can now ask for Integromat to calculate a Membership Report and report back to Slack. Next up is a "new member" notification.

  5. API endpoint for allowing users to cancel registrations

    The new feature added today to allow users to cancel their own registrations is a good start, but we need to be able to set it through the API for it to really be useful. Is there a plan to add this in the near future?

  7. API with non-administrative permissions

    Original title: Cannot access API from within site pages if not Administrator.

    Hi,

    I have written JavaScript/HTML in a WildApricot site page to display events as a compact list in a table.

    If I login to an administrator account it all works fine, if I login to a non administrator account I get error 403 returned from a get Events API call.....

    "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Current token does not provide access to scope 'events_view'.)"

    Code snippet is:

  8. 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).

    http://iarpreiki.org/resources/js/waPublicApi.js

    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.

    I create the event with "RegistrationEnabled": false
    Create the RegistrationTypes for the event.

    I have to press "Save" on the form and then the event registrations are enabled.
    I have tried all…

  10. 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.
    Add or remove to defined Joomla groups (ie. member and non-members group)
    Add…

  11. API - Implement CORS for Cross-Domain API requests

    Currently the API does not support cross-domain requests which makes it impossible to call the API from within WA or any other site. The whole Idea of API's and web services is to be able to fetch data from other sites to use in you JavaScript code.

    I can only get access to the API if I disable cross-domain security in IE. Other browsers are more difficult.

    CORS is a web standard that was developed to handle cross-domain requests. It should be fairly simple to adjust your web server to handle CORS and pre-flighting

  12. Javascript access to Contact/Member/Event data

    I would love to have data available to JavaScript that can be used to access other contact, membership, or event data that may not be available on a page or widget.

    For instance, I have a case where I need to display links based on whether they belong to a certain membership group or membership level.

    There is some 'BONAPAGE' global variables that can be accessed for system or page view status but nothing for the record of the current screen you may be viewing.

    It would be great if there was a global object(s) available that contained the current…

    Public API is now available for javascript access by path http://your_account.wildapricot.org/sys/api/….

    This means that:

    • AJAX requests to API is in the same domain
      *JS application is able to access API without token
    • AJAX requests directed to the same domain as
    • JS access API with the same permissions as currently logged in user.

  13. API V2 authorization "invalid_client" error

    Hi, I'm trying to do v2 authorization (from Java), and getting an invalid client error.

    My setup reads (edited for brevity):

    HttpPost post = new HttpPost(AUTH_URL+"/auth/token");

    post.addHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    post.addHeader("Authentication","Basic "+Base64.encodeBase64String("APIKEY:"+API_KEY));

    List <NameValuePair> nvps = new ArrayList <NameValuePair>();

    nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("granttype", "clientcredentials"));

    nvps.add(new BasicNameValuePair("scope", "account"));

    post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nvps));This seems a perfect mirror of the php and c# samples, but in return, I'm getting the remarkably useful:{"error":"invalidclient","errordescription":null,"error_uri":null} Any ideas?Thanks,GeePawHill

  15. Authenticating a Member or Contact (with iOS app)

    Hi - I am writing a custom iOS app using the WA API and a requirement is that members sign into the mobile app with the same credentials that they use to access the WA site via a browser (i.e. email, password)

    The "contacts" API returns the user's email but not the password (which would clearly be a security issue). So the iOS app cannot verify the members credentials itself.

    Is there an API that the iOS app can call to verify the members password? If not, do you have any other suggestions on how this type of member sign…

  16. Is it correct that users cannot get their membership data via API?

    I'm working with a tool called Cognito Forms that allow some fairly complex form functionality. One great feature is the ability to pass values to a form embedded on a Wild Apricot page.

    We are currently working on a feature where a member navigates to a member-only page for expense reimbursement. The page loads an embedded form and pre-fills most of the information.

    Right now, I am using the API to use the contacts/me call to load name and email, but I need the contact/{contact-ID} to get the address and phone.

    After getting the script completed and pre-populating the form…

  19. Need to redirect OLD WA page address to NEW WA page address

    I used to make an index.html file with a meta redirect tag but this doesn't happen with WA according to Tech Support.

    We originally had a WA site that was modified and the new site has the same pages with different URLs. Our fear is that, for instance, someone may have bookmarked the OLD site's page, and when clicked on brings them to the wrong page.
