Credentials API

An API to access user credential data for all users from outside the TargetSolutions system.

Basic Function

A URL containing an encrypted key is given to the client. Clients will access this URL through an http request. When accessed, the request will return a CSV file containing user credential assignment records for all active users. This will include assignment records for all credentials available in the site.

URL Options

Clients can choose to receive all user credential assignments as of the current date, or all user credential assignments with expiration dates falling within a given range. This includes credential assignments of any status (Active, Inactive, Expired).

Current Day Only

This version of the URL will return all user credential assignment records as of the current day and time.

Example URL (this example URL will not run):

https://app.targetsolutions.com/tsapp/api/?action=reports.buildReport&reportType=credentials&key=32D4C23ADD5B9286F9DAFE6166E01F5&secret=B9D0FFC80322877B3

Date Range

If more specific data is required, expiration date parameters can be used to limit the amount of records returned.

ExpirationDateFrom=mm-dd-yyyy

ExpirationDateTo=mm-dd-yyyy

These parameters can be used together or alone. Please note the date format for date parameters can be mm-dd-yyyy or yyyymmdd.

Using Both Parameters: Example URL (this example URL will not run):

In the above example, the URL will return a report of all user credential assignments with expiration dates from 1/1/14 to 3/31/14.

Using a Single Parameter: Example URL (this example URL will not run):

In the above example, the URL will return a report of all user credential assignments with expiration dates on or after 1/1/14.
