Thanks Arthur for the quick reply! I had totally forgotten about the ILS-DI interface. We do have it set up on our test server – so that is defiantly an option. We have written a custom endpoint for something else previously so maybe we should explore that avenue again to achieve what we want – I prefer the Oauth2 authentication I think.

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Although it's quite old, the ILS-DI interface is still available in 21.11.

You can check the GetPatronInfo with "show_loans=1" parameter (perhaps by default?) to get the loans.

Then you also get bibliographic information about those loans in one API call.

However, ILS-DI is not secure by design, there is no authentication, which means, when you activate ILS-DI it is open to everyone to get personnal information on any of your patrons by scraping with random biblionumber, just be aware of this a put decent security (we use IP restriction which is not ideal but minimum required IMO)

Best,

Arthur Suzuki

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<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:


1. Call /checkouts to get a list of checkouts from the patron
2. Iterate over the checkout_id and call /checkouts/$id for each checkout
3. I cannot see any Biblio references in the returned data, so I’d have to then grab the biblio_id from the /items/$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
