Re: API Limits - How to Manage and Coordinate API Processes?

jamieroyce — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 16:09:30 GMT

Hi Inder,

I have read that in the documentation and I am aware of that. But my question is - how do I check what limit we are at mid-day.

Otherwise we have to blindly run our API process until we get an error and this is not optimum.

It would be better if we could get the usage data in the response or have an API endpoint dedicated to give the current daily usage.

Otherwise, having two separate API keys with their own limits would solve this problem.

Any advice on this?

Best regards,

Jamie

API Limits - How to Manage and Coordinate API Processes?

jamieroyce — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 21:19:57 GMT

I help several different Method:CRM customers with their API integrations and one of them is having an issue where two different processes are separately using the API and one exceeds the limit daily and prevents the other from running.

I want to coordinate the API calls and in order to do this I am trying to find out if there is a way to check what the current usage is for the day. Then I can check this and always ensure there are some available calls left for both processes.

Please let me know how best to resolve this issue.

API Filter - How to search for a Company Name that has a single quote in it?

I am using the API to search for customer records. Any that have single quotes in their names are erroring in teh API. I have tried encordURI, as well as replacing the single quotes with %27 and keep getting the same error. Any advice on how to search for a name with a single quote?

Re: How to Create an Item from API?

jamieroyce — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 20:41:44 GMT

I tried this all the way down to just one field and have not found a way to get the Item Name or Description to add.

curl --location --request POST 'https://rest.method.me/api/v1/tables/item' \
--header 'Authorization: APIKey **' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"Name": "dB Technologies USA Inc"
}
'

I tried just SalesDesc, etc. and none populate the Item Desc field.

How to Create an Item from API?

jamieroyce — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:47:46 GMT

I have been using the Method API for a couple years now and even when things are not clearly documented I have been able to figure them out from the examples in the API docs. However I have not been able to successfully create an Item through the API.

For example, I tried posting this item with this API call:

curl --location --request POST 'https://rest.method.me/api/v1/tables/item' \

--header 'Authorization: APIKey ***' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"ItemType": "Inventory",
"FullName": "dB Technologies USA Inc",
"IsActive": true,
"Name": "dB Technologies USA Inc",
"PurchaseCost":"0",
"SalesDesc": "",
"QuantityOnHand": "1",
"IncomeAccount": "Integration:Sales",
"COGSAccount": "Cost of Goods Sold",
"AssetAccount": "Inventory Asset-1",
"PrefVendor_RecordID": 4377
}
'

It sucessfully creates a new record, but there is no Name or Description. The other fields do show up.

What do I need to change to be able to create a new Item so the name and description shows up?

Does someone have an example API post?
