TimeTrex Time and Attendance

Hello all,

Before I say anything, I want to congratulate the TimeTrex team for a great job on creating this amazing software!

I recently installed TimeTrex Community Edition to test it on the company where I'm a colaborator.
Im trying to create a simple routine aplication in C# to get weekly reports. Im following the workfore-management-api from https://www.timetrex.com/workforce-management-api.
I can get the config but im getting trouble on the report data, this is the response I get:
{"-1010-time_period":{"time_period":"last_pay_period"},"-1000-template":"by_employee regular overtime premium absence"}
{"api_retval":false,"api_details":{"code":"VALIDATION","description":"INVALID DATA","record_details":{"total":1,"valid":0,"invalid":1},"user_generic_status_batch_id":false,"details":[{"time_period":["No time period defined for this report"],"columns":["No columns specified to display on report"]}]}}
it says I didnt choose any time period nor columns.
$result = postToURL( buildURL( 'APITimesheetSummaryReport', 'getTimesheetSummaryReport' ), array( $config, 'raw' ) );
with raw or wihout it i get the same response.
Im sure Im missing something some parameters I guess.

Can you post the raw HTTP request that you are sending to the API?

http://<timetrexserver>/api/json/api.php?Class=APITimesheetSummaryReport&Method=getTimesheetSummaryReport&SessionID=\"7a4dcbdce25b480ace9b3f7c06d497fd6675eb2e\"&json={\"-1010-time_period\":{\"time_period\":\"last_pay_period\"},\"-1000-template\":\"by_employee regular overtime premium absence\"}
if I do it on the browser it shows a blank page

The JSON data cannot be included on the URL, it must be included in the body of the POST request instead.

Here is some PrintScreens...

The body must be formatted with the "json" POST variable containing the raw JSON data, similar to this:

Then Your saying that it must be in the url not in body....

That is incorrect, it must be in the body of the POST request.


You can simply make a call like this:

URL: https://demo.timetrex.com/next-release/ ... thod=Login
Body: You can use this site (https://resttesttest.com/) to test the above example as well, by simply clicking on the "Add Parameter" button, giving it a name of "json" and value of "{ "user_name": "demoadmin1", "password": "demo" }"
