What we would like is simply a list of titles (plus author and ISBN) along with the due back dates. I'm struggling , when looking at https://api.koha-community.org/21.11.html, to see how this could be done without using lots of API calls. Would I have to do something like the following:<br><br><br> * Call /checkouts to get a list of checkouts from the patron<br> * Iterate over the checkout_id and call /checkouts/$id for each checkout<br> * I cannot see any Biblio references in the returned data, so I'd have to then grab the biblio_id from the /items/$id endpoint and then call the /biblios endpoint to get the actual bibliographic data.<br><br>If the patron had 10 items out this would be at least 30 calls to get the bib data. Is that what I would have to do, or am I missing something - like a header or extra query which would return all the info I require from the first endpoint call?<br><br>Any advice/pointers would be much appreciated!!<br><br>Cheers, Stephen<br><br>--------------------------------------<br>Stephen Graham<br>Library Technology Consultant<br>Library and Computing Services<br><br>University of Hertfordshire<br>Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9AB<br><br>Email: s.graham4@herts.ac.uk<mailto:s.graham4@herts.ac.uk><br>Website: herts.ac.uk<br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/attachments/20220712/2ae801fe/attachment-0001.htm><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 16:14:54 +0200<br>From: Arthur <arthur.suzuki@biblibre.com><br>To: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org<br>Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Checkouts API Question<br>Message-ID: <25098859-8d62-d886-9a56-87eb0311ba7b@biblibre.com><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"<br><br>Hi Stephen,<br><br>Although it's quite old, the ILS-DI interface is still available in 21.11.<br><br>You can check the GetPatronInfo with "show_loans=1" parameter (perhaps <br>by default?) to get the loans.<br><br>Then you also get bibliographic information about those loans in one API <br>call.<br><br>However, ILS-DI is not secure by design, there is no authentication, <br>which means, when you activate ILS-DI it is open to everyone to get <br>personnal information on any of your patrons by scraping with random <br>biblionumber, just be aware of this a put decent security (we use IP <br>restriction which is not ideal but minimum required IMO)<br><br>Best,<br><br>Arthur Suzuki<br><br>Developper @BibLibre<br><br>On 12/07/2022 16:06, Stephen Graham wrote:<br>><br>> Hi All – we are on 21.11, and would like to include patron account <br>> data in our bespoke University mobile app. I was planning on using the <br>> RESTful API to get the data.
