justein230 / bbapiconnector-python Goto Github PK

Hey,
Not a big one, but it threw me off. The test_api_endpoint param isn't explained in the README. Clearly it should be something easy and small that the python can connect to. I left it as the default list of users. But that URL apparently no longer exists, so I got an error message about insufficient permissions. This was misleading, but I figured it out. I'd suggest two changes:

1. the README should explain what test_api_endpoint is and how to select one.
2. if the sanity check call to test_api_endpoint fails, check the status. If it's 404, give error text that says test_api_endpoint is non-existent and should be changed. If it's 401, use the current error message about permissions.
   Thanks!

Using the BbApiConnector-Python library.

The application's registered and the Scope is set to:
"Raiser's Edge NXT" -> Read
The environment is correct.
The app authenticated just fine.

But when I try to hit any Raiser's Edge API endpoint such as:
api.sky.blackbaud.com/constituent/v1/constituents
api.sky.blackbaud.com/nxt-data-integration/v1/re/funds
api.sky.blackbaud.com/constituent/v1/genders

I get:
"title":"Forbidden","status":403,"detail":"This application has insufficient scope to perform the operation. This application's scopes configuration is either insufficient for the request or the Blackbaud Environment Admin has not yet approved the application's updated access configuration. Learn more: https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/applications/scopes"}

But the scope is set to "Read" and all the API calls are "get"s.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks,

I've followed the instructions you have included, but I'm getting a 404 error and AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' when I try to start a session.

I've gone through the authentication process twice to obtain new tokens to check if I copied them incorrectly, but that didn't resolve the issue.

Below is the code that I'm using to start the session.

Sorry if this isn't the best way to talk about my issue. This is the first time that I have used Github.

from BbApiConnector import BbApiConnector

api_conn = BbApiConnector('app_secrets.json')

bb_session = api_conn.get_session()

params = {
'event_id': '11'
}

req = bb_session.get('https://api.sky.blackbaud.com/event/v1/events', params = params)

The BbApiConnector works perfectly - except when you don't have explicit SKY API access in the Blackbaud product. At least for School, my Blackbaud administrator had to turn on permissions. I was getting repeating

"401: Unauthorized. Retrieving updated access token...
Access token updated."

messages until they added "SKY API Basic" permissions to my account. My normal role in the organization is "Teacher", so perhaps this is out of the ordinary.

Do you want to add this to the list of prerequisites or the instructions to help the next user?

@justein230 will this work between Google Data Studio and Blackbaud's K-12 application?
