returnEvent

Version 1 This method allows you to return event information.

https://api.peoplevine.com/eventAPI.asmx/returnEvent

For non required fields, you can either omit from the JSON string or set it to a default value
(e.g. String = "", Integer/Double = 0, Boolean = false, DateTime = 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z)

INPUT

Name Type Description Required
{"auth": {"api_username": "", "api_password": "", "api_key": "", "company_no": 0, "username": "", "password": "", "timezone_offset": 0, "auth_type": "", "system_name": "", "system_company_no": 0 }, "esf": {"includeAttendees": false, "includeTickets": false, "location": "", "business_location_no": 0, "hidePrivate": false, "sortby": "", "event_id": "", "repeat_frequency": "", "event_no": 0, "company_no": 0, "category_no": 0, "date_from": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "date_to": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM", "event_display": "", "event_keyword": "", "search_for": "", "returnTotal": 0, "event_status": "", "event_type": "", "template_no": 0, "user_no": 0 } }

OUTPUT

By default, every API call returns an object of returnMessage as either XML or JSON depending on your content-type of the request.  With in the returnMessage structure the returnObject is specified above and differs based on the API meth.

Name Type Description
responseCode String This identifies the error that occurred for additional handling. Response codes starting with "A" are a success or "E" are an error.
message String Additional minor details on the response to display to your customers.
isError Boolean True if an error. False if succesful.
methodFailed String If there's an error, this is the method it failed at for debugging purposes.
extendedMessage String Additional instructions on how you can fix the error or what you can do with the return object.
reason String Explains why this error occurred or what was completed.
reponseTime Double How long it took to respond in seconds.
returnObject ArrayOfwi_event List of events including media, tickets, attendees, etc. if requested
{"responseCode": "", "message": "", "isError": false, "methodFailed": "", "extendedMessage": "", "reason": "", "responseTime": 0, "returnObject": [{}] }

Sample Code

This sample code is to generate a function leveraging existing core functions you've already built.

                
func getAPIKit() -> (url: String, dict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>) {

    var includeAttendees = false
    var includeTickets = false
    var location = ""
    var business_location_no = 0
    var hidePrivate = false
    var sortby = ""
    var event_id = ""
    var repeat_frequency = ""
    var event_no = 0
    var company_no = 0
    var category_no = 0
    var date_from = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
    var date_to = "1/1/1900 12:00 AM"
    var event_display = ""
    var event_keyword = ""
    var search_for = ""
    var returnTotal = 0
    var event_status = ""
    var event_type = ""
    var template_no = 0
    var user_no = 0

    let url = "https://api.peoplevine.com/eventAPI.asmx/returnEvent"
    
    let key = "esf"
    let esfDict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = ["includeAttendees": includeAttendees, "includeTickets": includeTickets, "location": location, "business_location_no": business_location_no, "hidePrivate": hidePrivate, "sortby": sortby, "event_id": event_id, "repeat_frequency": repeat_frequency, "event_no": event_no, "company_no": company_no, "category_no": category_no, "date_from": date_from, "date_to": date_to, "event_display": event_display, "event_keyword": event_keyword, "search_for": search_for, "returnTotal": returnTotal, "event_status": event_status, "event_type": event_type, "template_no": template_no, "user_no": user_no ]
    let finalDict = User.getAuthDict(dictToAdd: esfDict, dictKey: key)
    
    return (url, finalDict)
  }

                
            

To get started we reccomend that you download the Alamofire project to simplify integration: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire, in addition to SwiftyJSON: https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
