Unable to Query Time Entries

[Art Ardolino]

I was able to figure out how to successfully authenticate via .NET
(BTW, the XML example in on the API page says api-key, and it only
works with an underscore, i.e. api_key) - I figured this out looking
at the other code examples. Also had to remove www from the url and
then it worked.

I am now submitting to retrieve my time entries, and I am now
submitting to the url http://slimtimer.com/users/***/time_entries,
replacing *** with the userid returned in the response of the
authentication message (a 5-digit number). The XML I am sending is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<request>
<api_key>################</api_key>
<access_token>###################</access_token>
</request>

api_key is my api key, and access_token is what I got back from the
authentication message. This is the response I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors>
<error>undefined method `permission?' for nil:NilClass</error>
</errors>

Any idea why I am getting this error message?

This may not matter to the OP any more but for anyone else encountering this issue. One solution is to not use XML for any of the GET requests. This includes:

• /users/user_id/tasks/task_id
  
• /users/user_id/tasks
  
• /users/user_id/time_entries/time_entry_id
  
• /users/user_id/tasks/task_id/time_entries
  
• /users/user_id/time_entries
  

For these you can use paramaters in the GET request, for example:

http://slimtimer.com/users/__user_id__/tasks?api_key=__api_key__&access_token=__access_token__

And if you want to send optional parameters:

http://slimtimer.com/users/__user_id__/tasks?api_key=__api_key__&access_token=__access_token__&offset=__offset__
