Subject: Funded amount for expired loans

Hi,

Is there any way to find out how much of the loan was funded, for expired
loans?

For example, this loan
http://api.kivaws.org/v1/loans/130891.html

both funded amount and loan amount are the same.  Shouldn't the funded
amount be less than
the loan amount?

Thank you,
Vijay.

To answer your question, you already have the data you need, funded_amount
is indeed accurate as the amount that was fundraised.

I think there was a bug with this particular loan, where it expired early
and it left the loan in a state where it was funded but expired, at least,
that's what I can gather from our bug records, as it happened before my
time here. Such cases should be few and far between.

I am curious now to go into the data and see how many loans exist where the
amount funded is the same as the loan amount, but the loan is expired. I'll
see if I can report back on that.

Cheers,

I made a list of expired loans with funded amount and loan amount.  It
seems to be the same.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :(

Indeed.

I think, something is weird about the way we have the data, cause when I
looked up a few of the loans you listed, I see that the total shares for
that loan equal the amount funded, which of course in these cases equal the
amount the loan was fundraising for. But for instance for loan 421038 there
was a bunch of entries where there was no owner or purchase_time, not sure
why that is, maybe it's just the way we store this stuff.

So, I'm thinking, maybe in the API, we aren't filtering those out for the
funded_amount and that we should be. Going to talk to Martin about it.

We committed a fix for this that should go out in our next release. I'll
e-mail here again after our next release (perhaps next week, though not a
definite) if that change goes out.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Cheers,

Yep and the original loan link you posted has the correct funded_amount
now.

Thanks for following up Martin, it slipped my mind.
