1. 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 (such as street address, phone number).

   If the field values can't be accessed via api when authenticated in the user context do I need to perform the authentication as the user (to confirm their login/password), then re-authenticate using the application's API key to retrieve the Contacts URL to access their data?

   Thanks,
   Russ.

   Current 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.

2. 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: " + status);
       }
     );
   

   Thanks for any help on this!

   The 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.

   This code can be used to work with API. There are also a github repository https://github.com/WildApricot/ApiSamples with several code samples for different languages.

4. 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. 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.

5. Joomla authentication plugin?

   Hi,
   wondering if anyone has used the new signon stuff in the API to create a Joomla authentication module? I've written a Joomla Authentication module to use a third party (database) source for users and would like to change update it to use WildApricot as the backend for authentication. Thinking about paying a developer to update the plugin but before doing so wondered if anyone else has done this?

   If 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.

9. API V2 authorization error using APIKEY

   As far as I can tell, APIKEY authorization according to:
   http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/API+V2+authentication
   is broken.

   This example:

   POST /auth/token HTTP/1.1
   Host: oauth.wildapricot.org
   Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

   granttype=clientcredentials&scope=contacts finances events

   simply doesn't work, always returning a "scope xxxx is not available for current client" for every scope I've tried (from the table on the same page).

   Is this just completely broken, or something is missing. I note that there is no place in the API for the "application name". I also note that I don't get an "authorization error", as I would get if I use an incorrect base64-encoded API key, so it must be authenticating correctly.

   Has anyone used APIKEY authentication? If so, does someone have a simple cURL command that proves it works?

11. API V2 help creating or updating fields

    I am evaluating Wild Apricot for a small non-profit. We are all volunteers who will be administering it, so I am investigating using the API to automate our workflow due to the fact that WA does not create a Contact for Guest registrations.

    My question is related to the Create Contact or Update Contact operations. I can create a contact with the FirstName, LastName and Email fields and I can update those fields. However, I have been unsuccessful adding or creating additional fields, even the Phone built in field.

    Can anyone help by sending me an example of the syntax for the submission? I started with the Google Sheets example on the WA website. It has been easy to use when I understand the correct syntax! That's what I need here.

    This is a showstopper to us moving to Wild Apricot if we cannot automate this. It looks like it should be easy to do if I get the correct syntax.

    BTW, for the most part, thew documentation is very good. I guess because the API is not supported is why there are limited examples. As read elsewhere in this forum, I agree that it may be shortsighted for WS to not support the API. It does help embed customers to their platform...

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

13. 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 or remove to defined Jommla groups based upon WildApricot Group membership (example has two groups).
    Add Joomla profile data using the WildApricot contact information.

    Cheers,
    Russell.

14. API changes in 5.4 (action may be required before July 6th)

    In Version 5.4, which was just released on June 15th, Wild Apricot has made changes to the authentication process https://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/API+V2+authentication for its API. We have moved from account-based authentication to the more secure application-based authorization. Instead of generating a single API key that provides complete access to your entire Wild Apricot account, you authorize individual applications, each of which are assigned separate credentials. If you've previously generated an API key for your account – prior to the 5.4 release – it will automatically be converted to an authorized application called Legacy API key.
    If you are currently using an API key to authenticate your application, you can continue to do so, and no code changes are required.
    If you are using Wild Apricot account credentials to authenticate your application, you must change the authorization header of your authentication token request. Specifically, you must, within the authorization header, set username to the client ID assigned to your application when you authorized it, and set password to the client secret assigned to your application. Currently, username is set to the application name and password is set to openwaapi_client (a constant). You will have until July 6, 2015 to make this change. On this date, the account-based authentication method will stop functioning.
    As well, Wild Apricot has changed the possible scope https://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/API+V2+authentication#APIV2authentication-Supportedscopes values when restricting access using Wild Apricot's API. This is necessary to support the ability to restrict API key access to read-only functions. One of the new scopes – auto – will automatically detect the maximum allowed scope using the API key access level or the user's Wild Apricot account permissions, depending on which was used when requesting an authentication token. No code changes will be required because of this change as newly obsolete scopes will be automatically substituted by the corresponding new scope.

    Wanting to get some feedback if I am doing this correctly or there is a better way!

    Goal: I have 13 SavedSearches and I want to create 13 separate Google SS (using Google Script) with the details of members (some custom fields I have created as well) returned by each SavedSearch.

    Step 1: I use the api SavedSearch request to return the contactIds.

    Step 2: Iterate through the returned list and make an api call to contacts using the contactId.

    Here is the problem I am encountering. The limit on individual contact calls is 60 / minute. All my searches have more than 60 records. So the SS population stops at 60. :( (http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/API+Version+2#APIVersion2-APIrequestlimits)

    The solution is to call

    Hi - looking through recent posts in the forum regarding usage of the WA API V2 I get the impression that the API is basically unsupported by WA. e.g. two API issues I posted some days ago remain unanswered and a recent API V2 question from another user (GeePawHill) also remains without any replies.

    So a basic question - do WA staff support the API through this forum? If not can anyone at WA advise what other avenues are available in order to get support for the API? e.g. should we be submitting API issues via the support channel? (email) Or some other forum?

    I have two iOS clients projects currently underway but both are stalled waiting for API issue resolution.

    Thanks

    David

    The Developers forum is a place where WA developers or other users can help you with API. We try to help you with API issues as much as possible, however the support does not include debugging code of client applications.

19. API - HTTP POST Error 500, an internal error has occured

    Hi - I've spent hours trying to figure why the POST below (in Swift) fails. Status code is HTTP 500 which according to the doc means "Wild Apricot's server has encountered an error and cannot fulfill the request." API Key and authentication are all good since GET requests to the same API work fine.

    The event is very simple defined to have only fields first and last name and email. The event is public. I've triple checked all the Id's - event, contact, reg type id etc.

    Any ideas much appreciated..

    Thanks

    Response is -

20. 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 in authentciation could be accomplisehd?

    Thanks

    Latest version of oAuth service allows to authenticate any contact from your contact database. Please follow the instructions here http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/API+V2+authentication#APIV2authentication-UsingWildApricotusercredentials and use scope=auto.
