Hi All – we are on 21.11, and would like to
include patron account data in our bespoke University mobile
app. I was planning on using the RESTful API to get the data.
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:
- Call
/checkouts to get a list of checkouts from the patron
- Iterate over
the checkout_id and call /checkouts/$id for each checkout
- I cannot see
any Biblio references in the returned data, so I’d have to
then grab the biblio_id from the /items/$id endpoint and
then call the /biblios endpoint to get the actual
bibliographic data.
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?
Any advice/pointers would be much
appreciated!!
Cheers, Stephen
