Fetch Attendance (In/Out Punches) from Python?

Post by sven »

Hello,

i'm new to TimeTrex and would like to fetch the Attendances (In/out Puchnes) from Python and would like to know if someone could guide me in the right direction?

Is there a Webserice which can be used for this and if yes where do i find it?
Or would it be possible to access the Postgres DB directly?

And of course ... is there any Documentation available and where do i find it?


Thanks!

We don't recommend accessing the database directly, as its extremely easy to cause problems that way since TimeTrex does a lot of work behind the scenes. Also when new versions come out the table schema can change and possibly cause you to have to rewrite all your modifications.

The proper solution is to use our remote SOAP API, however its a new feature that isn't available in our free Standard Edition just yet. It is available in TimeTrex Business or Professional Editions though.
