Staff API

Simple Examples

Storing details of a new staff member

{
    "Name": "Pat Benatar"
}

Using /Staff/{Key} API

While the /Staff/{Key} API is commonly used to retrieve a single staff member record by internal ID# (aka Tid) it can also return a single staff member details when searching by other criteria.

/Staff/barcode=1343536
Returns a single staff member with the barcode 1343536
/Staff/tid=1234
/Staff/name=John
/Staff/nameformal=John Smith
/Staff/nameprinted=John23
/Staff/physkey=ABFHEJKEFJJVHW56GJSI221BNEJ
/Staff/autologinfromwindowsname=john@example.com
/Staff/externalid=PEEPS456JOHN

Each of the above will only return a single record. However, this may change in a future release to retrun all matching records. Currently, if multiple records match then no records will be returned.

Retrieving Security Rights and Roles

To retrieve additional fields not provided by default you add the query parameter ?want=... and the requested information will be included in the response.

/Staff/12345?want=200
Include the Security roles held by this staff member
