[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Library card number via OSRF gateway?

[Dan Wells]

Hello Ken,

Unfortunately, I think your average patron won’t have access through PCRUD even to their own data.  You get empty payloads in PCRUD if you make a requests you don’t have permission to view.

You can use the user API instead, as it has a method to retrieve the fleshed user with an exception to allow any user to view their own data.  Something like:

https://ulysses.calvin.edu/osrf-gateway-v1?service=open-ils.actor&method=open-ils.actor.user.fleshed.retrieve&param=%22AUTHTOKEN%22&param=USER_ID

Sincerely,
Dan

Thank you for the quick responses.  But I am missing something important about calling these methods through the gateway.

I seem to have both the user ID and the card ID in the response from open-ils.auth.session.retrieve.  But when I try calling open-ils.pcrud.search.ac<http://open-ils.pcrud.search.ac> with either {"id":cardID} or {"usr":userID} I get an empty payload in response.

Can you spot what I am doing wrong?

Here are the redacted URLs I tried:

https://catalog.cwmars.org/osrf-gateway-v1?service=open-ils.auth&method=open-ils.auth.session.retrieve&param=%22authtoken%22
  ->  "usrname": "coxken", ... "id": 409071, ... "card": 1344653

https://catalog.cwmars.org/osrf-gateway-v1?service=open-ils.pcrud&method=open-ils.pcrud.search.ac&param=%22authtoken%22&param=%7B%22id%22:1344653%7D
  -> {"payload":[],"status":200}

https://catalog.cwmars.org/osrf-gateway-v1?service=open-ils.pcrud&method=open-ils.pcrud.search.ac&param=%22authtoken%22&param=%7B%22usr%22:409071%7D

  -> {"payload":[],"status":200}

As a note, I believe that PCRUD search will also return all non-primary and non-active cards.

Indeed that's true when fleshing the "cards" (virtual) field on the user.  When fleshing "card", you get the primary/active card.

Oh, right...  If you search for cards by user ID, then it will return all cards, active or otherwise for the user.  (I was thinking about fleshing cards on the user).  Thanks for pointing that out, Thomas.  Apologies for the misleading response.
