  1. Profile last updated field differs in filter from value read in API ?

    Hi,
    we have a job that queries via the API searching with a filter on "Profile last updated". The query can return no results, it doesn't find any contacts changed since the last query run. However if we just iterate through the contacts and read the Profile last updated field it can be more recent shown in the API results than displayed in the WA web interface. It appears when reading via the API the "last login date" is used as the Profile last updated date if the last login is newer than the last profile update.

    Summary:

    The date in API and in web interface are taken from the same field in database. I was not able to reproduce error you described. Probably it was an error, which is already fixed.

    Please let us know if you encounter any error like this.

  2. Setting a Password when creating a new contact/member

    Hi,

    I need to create a contact through the API through a 3rd party server. I have no problem creating a contact. However, when I set a password and try to login after I have created the contact, I get an error saying that I have the wrong login information.

    Secondly, when someone signs up they get an email with a password sent to them. Is this possible as well through the API? When I create a contact through the API I want to be able to send them the password in their email so they can login.

    Group participation data can be foubd in the fiels with name ‘Group participation’. For example:

    var contact = getContactById( 123 )
    for( i=0; i<contact.FieldValues.length;i++) {
    var record = contact.FieldValues[i];
    if( record.FieldName == ‘Group participation’)
    var groups = record.Value;
    }

    I am trying to update the contact details.

    var contactId = this.data.Id;

                console.log("efore put call", userDetails);
                console.log("efore put call stringified", JSON.stringify(userDetails));
    
                 let bodyString = JSON.stringify(userDetails); 
    
                this.http.put(userurl, bodyString, {headers:headers})
                  .map(res => <User>(res.json()))
                  .subscribe(userAuth => {
                    // we've got back the raw data, now generate the core schedule data
                    // and save the data for later reference
                    this.userData = userAuth;
                    console.log('get user details', userAuth);
                    resolve(this.userData);

  5. Built-in export/reports data via api

    Can we please access the data from the built-in Wild Apricot "export" buttons via the API?

    Example: We currently go to Finances > Payments & Refunds > [Export button] > [tick all boxes] > [export as csv], then open the downloaded file and copy/paste into a Google Sheet so we can organise it.

    Surely when the Web Interface generates this export it is simply an internal API call... I want to skip the login/generate/download/copy/paste steps and instead pull the same report data straight in to the Google Sheet via the API. Is this possible?

  6. Change the batch interface to support the POST method

    I have been trying to call the batch API interface from Google Apps Script. Apps Script correctly realizes that BATCH is not a valid HTTP method and prevents me from submitting the request. There must also be many other HTTP client libraries that prevent this.

    The solution is simple - just extend the batch API to also allow a request submitted with the POST method.

  7. Pre-flight not handled for API V2

    I am trying to get data for my app using wild apricot.Im using hybrid app. Currently when I am trying to access
    events.

    https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/Accounts/209675/Events

    This is my url.
    Then I have to send authorization as header in the GET request.
    But whenever I send authorization as header in GET request. It comes as a pre-flight and first OPTIONS request is sent.

    But the server is not handling OPTIONS request. How do I get over this scenario.

    That happens because your try to access API from web browser (possibly Ionic builder). The web app makes cross origin requests, which are not supported in API.

    There is no problem to access API from mobile app, our own mobile app for admins works exactly this way. However if you try to access API from ionic builder, then you will face CORS error. Here is a detailed explanation of reasons and possible workaround: blog.ionic.io/handling-cors-issues-in-ionic.

    Please let me know if the tutorial helps or not.

  8. How to access each of the options and whole structure of custom field in event

    Hi,
    I am creating a client for wild apricot. So to facilitate event registration the form has to be created in mobile app. To do the same the custom event fields has to be shown in the mobile client. So when I try to access the event Registration or event eventdetails using API.

    "Value": [
    {
    "Id": 8815648,
    "Label": "New Item 1"
    }
    ]
    }

    If you need a list of field descriptions, you should get event by id. The data you need are located in Event.Details.EventRegistrationFields

  9. API cannot change email settings?

    I've been trying for a while now to get the fields in a contact called:

    Email delivery disabled
    Receiving emails disabled

    to change using the API update contact call. I can change other fields, these two just refuse to change. Is there a trick to this, or is this another one of those 'you can't do it' features?

    According to contact fields description both of these fields are read only.
    You can get contact fields metadata by calling https://api.wildapricot.org/v2/accounts/XXX/ContactFields/ The result is a collection of fields descriptions. Each record has a parameter “IsEditable”, so you can check if any specific field can be modified with API or not.

  10. Attempting to use mod_auth_openidc to authenticate with SSO, OAuth2 standards?

    I'm attempting to configure our third party website using Apache and modauthopenidc to invoke the SSO authentication endpoints on our WildApricot website.

    I've gotten as far as manually assembling a correct authentication request URL:

    https://discoamigos.wildapricot.org/sys/login/OAuthLogin?response_type=authorization_code&scope=contacts_me&client_id=...&state=...&redirect_uri=...&nonce=...&claimed_account_id=...

    That shows me a login dialog as expected... However, when trying to use mod-auth-openidc to generate the authorization URL, it doesn't allow the requesttype of "authorizationcode". It only lets me set the request type to "code", which seems to break the authentication page fetch on the WA end.

    This would seem to be an issue with Oauth2 'standards'. It would…

    Ideally we would update the contact (change the membership level, if needed, and update the renewal due date), produce an invoice for the renewal, and record a payment for that invoice. Have I missed something?

    Since the API still does not allow the creation of new invoices directly (I can generate an invoice for an event, but not for…

  16. Bug in example PHP application

    Hi,
    if you're using the provided example PHP application there's a small bug that can impact authentication.

    In function getAuthTokenByAdminCredentials

    CHANGE:

    $data = sprintf("grant_type=%s&username=%s&password=%s&scope=%s", 'password', $login, $password, $this->tokenScope);

    TO:

    $data = sprintf("grant_type=%s&username=%s&password=%s&scope=%s", 'password', urlencode($login), urlencode($password), urlencode($this->tokenScope));

    We had a user unable to login and found that a reserved character in the password meant the string was being incorrectly parsed. urlencode() escapes special characters so they are passed through correctly.

    Regards,
    Russell.

  20. 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: " +

    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.
