  1. Google Script for Google Apps

    Thank you to WildApricot for posting the sample code for an api connection to update a google spreadsheet. https://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Sample+API+V2+applications

    I'm now using google scripts to produce (update) 13 regional spreadsheets of members each that has been shared with a regional coordinator so that I don't have to do this manually.

    Would love to hear how other organizations are using Google apps and integrating the wa api.

    Also would love to collaborate on building some additional Google Code scripts. Example, allowing each regional coordinator to email (mail merge) via gmail the members in their regional spreadsheet.

  2. auth0

    I have built a sms portal using Laravel + Auth0/Google_SSO + Wild Apricot (read only) API's, which works great. That Auth0 authenticated users against the Google user repository, but now have started building a second Laravel + Auth0 + Wild Apricot (read & write) API's where I want to first be able to use the Auth0 SSO to authenticate against Wild Apricot. I am using their "oauth capable" social login (URL: https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/social-identity-providers/oauth2 ), which seems to work. I get the WA username/password login screen and it signs in, but there it stops and seems like the token that is issued…

  3. Authentication for the API call to observe the Contact's privacy settings

    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…

  4. Date timezone?

    1. Date timezone - If I get a datetime back from an API call in JSON (e.g. an event start date) in which timezone is that date expressed? I was thinking it would be expressed in UTC but that does not seem to be the case. It appears to be expressed in my current timezone PDT. e.g. if my event in California (PDT) starts at 9:00 am PDT then does the event start time JSON string returned come back as 9:00 am or 4:00 pm? (i.e. expressed in the PDT or UTC time zone)

    The JSON date string in question has…

    API returns dates in ISO 8601 format. Here is an example:
    “2019-11-15T15:05:39.453-04:00”
    date: 2019-11-15
    time: 15:05:39.453
    UTC offcet: -04:00

    AI uses UTC offset of your organization’s timezone.

  5. export membership data

    I have been reading the doc but I don't see what API call I use to download a variety of member data. I need more than Membership Level.

    I want an API call like the Member List Export, where I can choose the fields.
    I want to export (for all members) member first,last,level,status, and one custom field we have in our database. Prefer output as CSV, but JSON would be fine.
    I need this via the API because I want to automate it to feed into a Access Validation system we have developed, not google docs or Excel, etc.

    Wild Apricot does not provide direct access to the database. Please use API instead.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. API and custom fields - how to reference them in $select or $filter

    Hi. According to some of the documentation it implies that I can use a custom fields' name to reference it. I can directly reference common fields as a $select parameter, but can only reference other fields using their custom-xxx tag, like this:

    '$select' => 'First name, Last name, Email, custom-8097667,
    custom-8097668, custom-8161502, custom-8097675, custom-8017535'

    The custom field tag does not seem to appear anywhere in Membership fields area of the WA database though so the only way I can find it out is by trawling through json data manually.

    Is there a better way to reference those fields, or to…

  15. 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…

    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.

  17. 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.

        'redirect_uri' => "https://[domain.com]/login2.php",
        'scope' => 'contacts_me'
