https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31591 Bug ID: 31591 Summary: REST API should include a patron import function Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: REST API Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: jrittenh@nd.edu CC: tomascohen@gmail.com The GUI-based batch patron upload form allows for selecting a match point, neither of which is the Koha ID, as an external system generating patrons is not going to be Koha-aware. Yet the REST API now requires knowledge of the patron's Koha ID to update a patron, necessitating a manual patron lookup request prior to submitting either an add or update request. For individual transactions, this is cumbersome. For bulk transactions, it's unwieldy. It would be more helpful to have the option to choose a match point in the request, and for the software to intelligently add or update a patron as necessary. This would significantly cut down on the external development necessary to create patrons via API, as well as API requests per patron add/update. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
