1. 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.

2. Please help with API version 1 to API version 2

   I am part of a voluntary organization and we received an e-mail about updating to API version 2 and same changes that needed to be made. We are all in way over our head and I just took over the website management this week. I would appreciate any and all help.

   We don't even know if we are using API. I will do anything I need to do but I really need help. Again, I am not paid this is for a completely voluntary organization.

   Thanks,

   Bradley Bearden

   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.

3. Database update via API returns "State":"Waiting","InitialQuery"

   I use a cron job to hit the API a few times a day, sometimes I get a blank result and this is what is returned:

   Any idea why this happens ?? I am not requesting the API every second. It is literally twice a day ??

   The request should contain following query string parameters:
   required: client_id, redirect_uri, scope, response_type, claimed_account_id
   optional: state.

6. API V2 "invalid_scope" error

   Multiple attempts at setting the "scope" param (contactsview, eventsview, contacts, etc) all return the same error:
   {"error":"invalidscope","errordescription":"Scope 'eventsview\n' is not available for current client.","erroruri":null}

   My client was created with "read only" access. Shouldn't this work?

7. 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.

8. Creating Bundles with API

   All was going very well with the API V2 until I wanted to set up Bundles with the membership. I can create contacts and assign a membership level. But when I try to assign a create a Bundle Administrator or Bundle Member, nothing seems to take. The API says only a Bundle ID and NOT an email address like the Import can use. To automate this process, I don't/can't use the Import process.

   Has anyone been successful in using the API to create a Bundle? (Administrator and/or Member)

   Any help is greatly appreciated. Our trial is almost over and this is the last thing that would put us over the edge to purchase. Without it, I will have a hard time justifying the work to change providers.

   Thanks.

   Now it is possible.

   Step by step:
   1. Create bundle admin
   2. As a result of POST operation you will get a json of new contact.
   So find a record in FieldValues with “FieldName”: “Bundle ID” and take “Value” from that record.
   3. Create a bundle member
   4. Check we have a bundle and it contains members we expect

   Here is a complete description with requests you should send: https://gist.github.com/DmitriySmirnov/8b29429d75e9b66eef9c88d4a647a3e8

9. 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.

    I would like to be able to create (POST) invoices via API.

    This feature would help us when when we need to generate invoices for a many members. That payments can already be created via API is useful. The feature for Invoices that I am requesting would seem to complement the existing feature for Payments.

12. API: Get list of contacts by saved search

    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)

    Thoughts?

    Thanks!

    The solution is to call
    GET …/contacts?$filter=id in [1,2,34,85,…….] and instead of numbers add the ids you received from saved search call results (it returns them too).

13. Contacts API v2 $select doesn't provide MembershipLevel

    I found that when using $select on the contacts API call in V2, the MembershipLevel field is not available. It is available however if all fields are returned by not using $select

    Is this by design, or an oversight?

    I am using the sample PHP code.

14. Getting Support for the WA V2 API?

    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.

16. 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?

19. 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);

    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.… more

    Fixed in v5.1.5

20. 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!
