Credentials for a Member?

[Dave Cameron]

Similar to last question but different so I made a new thread, hope that is proper etiquette. 

Is there a way to get the Credentials data associated with a Member? [As shown under the "Memberships, Licenses & Credentials" section of the member page].

Thanks in advance

Hi Dave,
We currently don't return that data in the public APIs. What would help us most is if you could describe what you're looking for. What specific data do you want, and where would you expect or want to see it (which APIs)?

We'll be focused on Membership and Credentials in early 2024. I'm currently considering how credential data may fit into new public APIs, or updates to existing public APIs, as part of that body of work. The more real-world examples I know of, the more informed we can be designing this.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks Ryan ... here's some scribbling of some thoughts around this. 

If you've been working this I'd suggest there's nothing new, but the primary use case below is why I asked this question ... Regards, Dave

Conceptually I see this is analogous to /logbook/ (1:M with member, typed) with the history as another child

Useful: get a list of valid credential types (like the existing  '/logbooks/types/')

Only 1 concrete use case right now
- given a member/person, GET their credentials so we can see if they have a specific (active) credential
- essentially just want to be able to ask for the data we see in the UI
--> Member ID, Credential Type (ID assumed), Status, Quantity(?), Issued Date, Expires Date

- useful if we could restrict credentials to 'active' ones [?credentialstatus=active] OR [/activecredentials/]
- useful if we could restrict credentials to a specific type(s) [?credentialtype=x,y]
- seeing the credential History ('logs' in UI) for a credential would be useful [?history=true]
- useful if credential list was available (as an option?) in the response from GET /members/{ID}/

Other potential usage
- issue or update (POST/PUT) a credential (via automation from another app)
- for POST/PUT we would expect that MSR would maintain the integrity of the 'History' info

JSON only

Dave, 

I wanted to highlight we recently released self-service access to credentials for your members and attendees under their "My Account" page. We posted a blog/announcement on it today: https://blog.motorsportreg.com/membership/self-service-membership-licenses-credentials

I share on this thread just to let you know we're making progress!

Has credentials management (or even just a query) via API progressed this year? We have opportunities to use this functionality when it is available in the public APIs ... thanks in advance

Hi Guys, was there an update on fetching credentials for member using an api endpoint?
