I am trying to fetch / get attendance data from zoho people so for this i am trying to do this in postman
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/attendance/getUserReport?authtoken=<authtoken>&sdate=01-01-2019&edate=01-05-2019&empId=51
but this shows me an error
{"response":{"message":"Error occurred","uri":"/api/attendance/getUserReport","errors":{"code":7205,"message":"Input format does not match "},"status":1}}
Hey,
Not knowing the API you’re trying to query it’ll be hard to help, this is more of a Zoho question than a Postman one. You should reach out to them and ask what that error message means.
That being said, I doubt <authtoken> is a valid token, it should probably be replaced with whichever one they provide you.
ok when i try to get data in XML format like this… this shows an error
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/attendance/getUserReport?authtoken=removed&xmlData=<Request><Record><field name='sdate'>01-Jan-2019</field><field name='edate'>28-Oct-2019</field><field name='empId'>51</field>You will need to provide more details. What is the error shown? Is it an error in Postman or from the server-side?
this shows an error
when i try this
https://people.zoho.com/people/api/attendance/getUserReport?authtoken=5ffb1788b295ec360d978bfff6eeb14c&xmlData=<Request><Record><field name='sdate'>01-Jan-2019</field><field name='edate'>28-Oct-2019</field><field name='empId'>51</field>
enter valid id
{
“msg”: “Enter valid Id”
}
@bakhtawarashiqhussai for your xmlData values the <Request> and <Record> elements do not have the closing tags </Request> and </Record>, that may be causing the API call to error out.
On a side note posting API keys online is big security no-no, you may want to delete your posts showing the API keys and do consider changing the API keys as well.
