Dave

any help greatly appreciated with getting this working

Steve Williams

Agree, information or a step by step guide is needed on how to set up Intelligence api to query reports etc

Dave, if you are interested I created a very simple desktop app to achieve this and grab the data daily, let me know if that would help.

Ben

Toby Cashier Level: If you are able/willing to share this it would be really appreciated. Currently just need a simple way to download customer data that includes the GDPR status. It is available in the API but could use an easy way to extract it.

Toby Cashier Level

Ben: Sure, send me a twitter DM @wmfletcher or ask support to pass your details to me? and happy to share.

Dave

Toby Cashier Level: only just seeing this now (no notification when a post is updated).

I'm trying to sey up an API feed into Excel. I have tried every way I can think of for the API key to be accepted, but still nothing. Any help, greatly appreciated

Dave

Toby Cashier Level: yes please. Really struggling to get API from inelligence.citruslime.com set up as a feed

Hi Dave, 
Thanks for raising this, we'll look to get some documentation for the Intelligence Api added to the HowTo site. We have created example projects (in C# and VB) for the REST Api, and so we can look to do the same for the Intelligence Api too. 
In the mean time, is there anything specific that I can help you with?

Suzy Weightman: Hi Suzy, when you get a moment, please can you send on the VB and C# example projects link to me or post on here - I am getting a 404 from the link on this page:

Simon Edge Sports WH: Hi Simon, 
The link is available on the About page on the Api site - https://cloudposapi.citruslime.com/About 
Note: if the button fails to trigger the download you will need to right click on the download button, copy the link and then paste it into an incognito window.
Thanks, 
Suzy

Simon Edge Sports WH

Suzy Weightman: Thanks Suzy - however, I am still getting the 404 page error, wondering if it has been moved ?
Again, this is the link I am following - and also copying into an incognito window to attempt to download:

Simon Edge Sports WH: Hi Simon, 
Apologies, I'd misunderstood which link wasn't working. 
We've got that fixed, so the link will now download the example projects. 
I'd definitely recommend using our CitrusLime.CloudPos.ApiClient NuGet package - this provides a C# wrapper for the Api. It handles Cloud POS API rate limiting and paging (e.g. if you make a request to get a list, the API will make the required paging calls to return a complete list). https://www.nuget.org/packages/CitrusLime.CloudPos.ApiClient
If you've got any questions, just let me know.
Suzy
