    Extracting Activity data

    We are wanting to export activity data so that we can use it on our web site and display an events calendar. Is anyone else doing this? We would like to avoid duplicate entry of activities both in F1 and our web site if possible. I cannot find a report that displays all activities and the associated info (date, time, location, etc...) and I was told this would have to be a custom report.

    If anyone has a way they are doing this that they would like to share I would appreciate it.

    Re: Extracting Activity data

    Speaking specifically to DataExchange, there is currently no activity data made available through that API.  A user posted an idea that might address your needs -

     

    They were looking for a way to extend some of the offerings on their website using DataExchange,  here is my reply to the post:

     

    “Agreed, this is a fantastic idea. So much so that we have actually started architecting a RESTFul approach to address these needs. Knowing that DataExchange was originally architected to address massive data interaction needs between disparate systems and FellowshipOne, we wanted to approach this new API on a more action based (Get, Post, Put, Delete, etc…) functional level using the basic mechanisms of HTTP – the REST way. Our ultimate goal is to expose all features and aspects of FellowshipOne through this API. We are looking to include URL signing, public / private keys so that you can have 3rd parties develop against the API, auditing mechanisms, definable response types (XML, JSON string, HTML, etc…) and more. The greatest advantage of a new MVC architecture that we have been implementing is that anything new that we build into the current applications will also end up being optionally exposed via API.”

      

    If you get an opportunity please check the entire thread on extending the API and vote on it if it is something you feel would help your church as well as others - that will provide more visibility to our product managers.

     

    Also, let me know your thoughts on where we’re headed based on my comments above.  Your thoughts would be appreciated.
