1. 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

   David

   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.

2. 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

   The problem was caused by invalid header name.

3. API PUT produces unexpected result

   As part of our first operational use of the API, I need to update two fields dynamically. For trials, I am using php cUrl, modeled on your sample application. I have no problems with GET, but PUT leaves me baffled.

   Each time I run the script, the target fields are not changed - but the membership of the target contact goes from "active" to "membership not allocated".

   Clearly my code is doing this: but how/why? Can anyone give me a clue as to what is happening?

   Also, my debugging script shows a result JSON containing all the target contact's data. Is this as it should be? And can it be prevented (unnecessary data traffic, etc.)?

   My cUrl code is (sorry about the bad formatting below):

   $accountUrl = "https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/[account]/Contacts/";
   $queryParams = array(
   'Id' => $contact,
   'Field values' => array(
   0 => array(
   'FieldName' => "fieldname1",
   'Value' => 'XXXXX'
   ),
   1 => array(
   'FieldName' => "fieldname2",
   'Value' => 'XXXXXX'
   )
   )
   );
   $url = $accountUrl.$contact;
   $verb = "PUT";

   $ch = curlinit();
   $headers = array(
   'Authorization: Bearer ' . $token,
   'Content-Type: application/json'
   );
   curlsetopt($ch, CURLOPTURL, 'https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/[account]/Contacts/[contact]');
   curlsetopt($ch, CURLOPTHTTPHEADER, $headers);
   curlsetopt($ch, CURLOPTCUSTOMREQUEST, $verb);
   if ($queryParams) {
   $jsonData = jsonencode($queryParams);
   curlsetopt($ch, CURLOPTPOSTFIELDS, $jsonData);
   }

   curlsetopt($ch, CURLOPTRETURNTRANSFER, true);
   $jsonResult = curlexec($ch);
   if ( !$jsonResult ) {
   echo curlerrno($ch) . ': ' . curlerror($ch);
   }
   curlclose($ch);

4. API Help

   I’ve been following your API v2 guides and snagged the PHP sample listed here:

   https://github.com/WildApricot/ApiSamples/blob/master/PHP/sampleApplication.php

   I was able to properly implement the getAccountDetails function and I created a getContactIdFromEmail function that tweaked the getContactsList function to filter on an email address.

   Now I’m trying to update the FirstName of the Contact that I received. Here’s the code:

   function updatePasswordByContactId($contactId, $email)

   {

   global $waApiClient;

   global $accountUrl;

   $url = $accountUrl . "/Contacts/Contact/{$contactId}";

   $data = array("FirstName" => "Chaz2");

   $result = $waApiClient->makeRequest($url, "PUT", $data);

   return true;

   }

   I analyzed the CURL parameters to see that it is calling the URL:

   https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/Accounts/73659/Contacts/Contact/25710546 ALIDCONTACTID

   In a “PUT” with the following JSON data:

   {"FirstName":"Chaz2"}

   I tried using “First name”, “Email”, and “e-Mail” and nothing seems to work.

   It simply will return an empty string which gets JSON decoded to NULL.

   Help!

5. Pass authorization credentials via url

   We use a separate web server but manage user registration through wildapricot. If the user logs into the primary website, can I pass these credentials to wildapricot in the URL? I don't want them to have to log on a second time when they connect.

   Thanks - Mike
