ActiveCampaign
Support for API v3
Hi, is v3 of the ActiveCampaign API on the roadmap? Is it going to be supported by the php wrapper at all?
Thanks!
@bartboy011 how would you define "soon"? I'm about to start working on an integration with ActiveCampaign, and of course I'd love to just work against v3 if possible.
Thanks!
@tnorthcutt We're not entirely sure about that, but likely within a month or so. However, our v3 API is still in beta, and does not support many of the actions currently supported in v1. You'll likely need to use both in order to create a full integration.
@bartboy011 roger that, thanks! I'm exclusively working with event tracking for now, so v3 it is. Consider this encouragement to release a beta version of the new wrapper early on 😉
Soon would be good! Just about to start working on a PrestaShop module, and don't want to write too much of it on the old API if the new one is almost ready.
@bartboy011 any updates regarding the release of the client that supports v3 of the API? I was trying to find information on how to get a list of contacts from API v3 and the query parameters but the documentation has no info whatsoever. When do you think the documentation is going to be updated?
@karvounis No updates, unfortunately, other than that the work has been pushed back. Getting the wrapper/documentation out is definitely on our roadmap, but with no certain dates attached.
Any update ? I think I could contribute but there is too much branch to organize something. I want information, if you want my help 😉
Some Googling shows that the (alpha version) V3 API is available since spring 2017. We're approaching the 2 year mark with the v3 API and still there is no SDK update. It seems to me that you're not developer focused at all.. Very bad PR
It's not that hard to communicate with the v3 API at all. It's completed Restful and following current standards. It's bad that there is no "standalone" wrapper but not that bad. I guess 80% of an implementation into a system musst be coded by yourself anyway. I don't want to blame you but just be happy that they did a version 3 in that way.
Cheers
There is an unofficial wrapper for V3:
https://github.com/mediatoolkit/activecampaign-v3-php
While it looks like a V3 wrapper will not be released, it would be nice to update the README at least.
The README states that it is 'recommended' to use the package and that contributors will 'continually improve the wrapper as the software changes and evolves.'
This isn't helpful, especially for those who are less experienced or discover the package through Packagist, for example.
Just a thought that it could be documented with Open API then generated to many languages as client wrappers? https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators
Yes the API is "easy" to communicate with but time consuming as a developer when all you want to do is load in a wrapper to use it in your own project.
