Sometimes the v2.2 API calls (done via API token and auth built on the PHP class from your sampleApplication.php on GitHub) to get a specific Contact returns the user's fieldset, and sometimes it returns an object with a State of either 'Waiting' or 'Complete'.

I've tried adding ?$async=false but it doesn't seem to change anything. Matter of fact, when I added $async=false&$select='First name','Last name' (as mentioned here in the forums, previously) I got a 400 bad request.

It seems like sometimes the API kicks butt and returns everything I need instantly, but other times it sends a Status of either Complete or Waiting with a resultUrl. Because cURL thinks it got a response, my code moves on.

Using PHP, what is your recommended way of continuing to poll the API until the dataset is ready and retrieved? Sleep for a few seconds then use the ::makeRequest() method on the ResultUrl? I'd love to see some official recommendations for what to do in instances where your API needs more time.

We are using the API https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/\(id)/contacts to get the list of contacts.

We use User login + password authentication for the API call.

If we use an admin account for the API authentication we get all fields for each contact, even fields that the contact has marked as "No access" in privacy. If we use a regular user account for the authentication we get immediately an HTTP 403 unauthorized status to even run the query.

So the question: how do we set up the authentication for this API call so that the query only returns contact fields that the contact has marked privacy as "Members" or "Anybody". For fields marked "No Access" the data should be nil.

We are using the API get Contacts API query. Sometimes and intermittently our query returns the Contacts as expected but more often enters a state where it never returns the results. Below are logs of both cases. Our question for the failed case : "what API call do we need to make to retrieve the Contact results?"

Here is the sequence when the call returns the contacts successfully. We assume that we should call the ResultUrl from the first response to receive the list of contacts and that approach does return the data :-

Start API CALL, path: https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/<id>/contacts

======================================
Here is the sequence when the call loops forever. The first response has state 'Waiting' and every subsequent call (forever) returns state "Processing". In this case, what API call do we need to make to retrieve the Contact results?

I am querying now on the eventregistrations API and have the API query working through https://api.wildapricot.org/ui/home/RequestOAuthToken , but the result set fails a json_decode action with NULL - which I presume means it is not JSON structured. Not sure how to proceed with solving for this. I am running this through the php sample application, which works.. but when adapting to test for this eventregistrations query, the apparent JSON result fails the decode test and hence nothing is available to the foreach loop to extract the right information.

Running this query, which works fine..

https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.wildapricot.org%2Fv2.2%2Faccounts%2F1234567890%2Feventregistrations%3FeventId%3D4344015%26fbclid%3DIwAR3fKL6K25MQZIrov9EYsXFhQVEzXKlPOzCDK7HxO0g7uEYdYRTy-6sHnGQ&h=AT1hreSFqkWarrlAM6Wfjd5qPxfJFJ_jTgzZ4vwNilh_OyC8eVdE1dw15Ab_ESS4gRo3ZudF6nWUQdqi6FCcIRDRjZTv4cGCpIh4ULxzTD9DWFJw0NgoyyXtU4ZrZTaToUYhN8o&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT0qQTLupLZd5d7sgyM9tb3J0rQ4JkLlK6SHLVNIbdCWpH8fFtgvHMjqT1uln6KtExBXEeDdnzEIozaPhA3jwQnEGwqT0code7yc6J38fMHF7nXFBAj1HpILaGi3uTjWCShzKR_V1p_kiZzqPdSdSA1Vjni20A3doSA

.. gives this response > NULL bool(true) < when running the following code, which is adapted from the https://github.com/.../blob/master/PHP/sampleApplication.php same php code.

The code itself is the following snippet:

  $eventRegistrantsQueryResult = getEventRegistrantsList(); 
  echo '<br />';
  // this code outputs "NULL bool(true)" 
  var_dump(json_decode($eventRegistrantsQueryResult), true);
  // this code fails given the json_decode fails with NULL and hence is ignored
  $eventRegistrants =  $eventRegistrantsQueryResult['Id'];
  foreach($eventRegistrants as $eventRegistrant) {
     echo '<br />boink';
     echo sprintf("#%d - %s", $eventRegistrant['Id'], $eventRegistrant['DisplayName']);
  }
  function getEventRegistrantsList()
  {
     global $waApiClient;
     global $accountUrl;
     $urlEventRegistrants = $accountUrl . '/eventregistrations?eventId=4342345';
     return $waApiClient->makeRequest($urlEventRegistrants);
  }

Any ideas and/or suggestions?! 😉 Would be welcomed for sure! Have a great day/evening/morning/.. ahead!

Trying to get a list of members that does not have the membership level 'Commitee member'. This query of course works:

https://api.wildapricot.org/v2.2/accounts/ACCOUNTID/Contacts?$async=false&$filter=(Status eq 'Active')AND(Archived eq false)

.. and gets me the +220 contacts that I expect, but this does not work:

https://api.wildapricot.org/v2.2/accounts/ACCOUNTID/Contacts?$async=false&$filter=(Status eq 'Active')AND(Archived eq false)AND(MembershipLevel ne 'Committee member')

Looking at the response from the preceding query.. the following is an example of a response:

////
{
"Contacts": [
{
"FirstName": "NAME",
"LastName": "LASTNAME",
"Email": "EMAIL",
"DisplayName": "NAME LASTNAME",
"Organization": "",
"ProfileLastUpdated": "2017-11-16T00:10:13.337+11:00",
"MembershipLevel": {
"Id": 679139,
"Url": "https://api.wildapricot.org/v2.2/accounts/<ACCOUNTID>/MembershipLevels/679139",
"Name": "Committee member"
},
.
.
////

How can I get a query defined that enables me to filter the results having or not having a specific membership level? Building a messaging gateway in Laravel php and have most all working, but just need to get the query going properly.

Any pointers would be welcomed... and oh.. I am using https://api.wildapricot.org/ui/home/ to test this on and so far works pretty well!

This project is a sync for core organizational data between WA and Google Workspace (formerly G Suite).

Specifically, WA needs to keep Workspace (Admin Console) updated with any changes to the active member list, and add members to appropriate groups. Further, all event changes within WA need to be synced with an organizational Google Calendar.

A Google Cloud service account has already been generated to enable server-to-server flow, and programmatic OAuth 2 has been implemented for each applicable Workspace app (e.g., Calendar). However, OAuth with WA has not been established, and the calls needed for syncing have not been found.

In general, we are passing data for syncing in:

1. Members (active)
2. Member groups
3. Events

Any core references that I've missed, beyond WA's API resources on Git and Swagger?

In the interest of ongoing maintenance, is this type of project best executed in, e.g., Integromat? The number of operations is currently low enough to remain inexpensive.

I am trying to display all of my members who have a birthday this month. There is no way to do this because there is no way to search for a birth month without the year using even advanced search. It is illogical to search for people who were born THIS YEAR. They would be at most 10 days old.

I have added a script to my birthday page that checks the date (I identify my gadget with a specific class and then search the dom and hide those dates whose month != to this one) but this is not not work either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am already using the following WA API to create events programmatically (we create several hundred events per year):

 POST   ​/accounts​/{accountId}​/events

However, I can't figure out how to create these events with the following emails already configured:

• Registration Confirmation Email
• Registration Cancellation Email
• Registration Reminder 1 (scheduled for 1 day before event)

I've looked through the API information on this webpage (https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/WildApricot/wild-apricot_public_api/7.15.0#/), but I can't seem to find the appropriate attributes in the data model.

Does anyone what attributes need to be set for these 3 emails to be configured for my events?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

We have been constructing the email module in to the JAB Creations web platform for the past few months. Some of our users receive email from WA and it has been having major problems that our automated systems simply can not fix:

• We do not support center, font and other obsolete element.
• We do not support align attribute to center an element directly or to adjust the text-align of child content.
• We do not support any obsolete HTML attributes that have long been replaced by CSS (align, cell-padding, cell-spacing, height, width, etc).

Our platform has obsoleted all versions of Internet Explorer except 18 (we don't reference rebranding nonsense). We explicitly do not support older versions of that nor do we support any of the dozens of rebranded versions of Outlook as their market share is well under a single percent for both the browsers and our clients using email clients. The cost though more importantly time and sanity for our associates to support obsolete software is simply not something we can even partially validate.

These issues can very easily be addressed by simply testing your HTML output in modern browsers. Simply strip invalid elements and attributes and then add inline CSS styles as needed. This will save WA users from the aggravation of having WA emails appear corrupted.

Additionally our systems automatically fix malformed HTML as we output everything ultimately as XML. While we do make some compensation (e.g. moving tr (table rows) elements that have been orphaned away from table elements) these systems are automated. We highly recommend using a Gecko powered browser to test HTML email as XHTML as the rendering engine from those browsers (E.g. Waterfox, Firefox) will explicitly state what the problems with your output are.

Addressing all of these issues will ensure that WA users will be able to enjoy using WA's services especially as the world continues to move towards valid and standards-compliant browsing.

Getting some content provided to keep the website up to date is difficult as they are not overly technical, I'd like to write a script in a custom html widget to look into a folder <yourwebsite>/resources/Documents/<foldername> and a return a list of the files that currently exist in the folder. The aim is for pictures and pdf's to be listed and then the script creates the html to display the images with a link to the pdf.

This means users will only need to upload files and the site will auto publish them

Can this be done via the API, looking through swagger it does not seem possible?
Is there any other way to do this ?
