ASP.Net Support

Btw, we really need a Developer Board. An ASP.Net sample would make a massive difference.   Your typical C# sample with OAuth2 does not work for ASP because tokens cannot be kept in memory, and th...

    Hi CodeMaker 

     

    I’ve moved your post onto our API developers board, so that other developers can share their own insight into your issue.

     

    Having checked with the team who provide support for the API they have advised me that the only code samples they provide are the ones on our Developers website. That said I’ve shared your comments and feedback with them.

     

    If you did have any questions relating to the API, I recommend submitting a request on our API support website. Those requests will be seen to and responded by our team who look after the APIs

Hi CodeMaker 

 

You really need to send this sort of question to developers@myob.com.au and they will reply - they are pretty good.

 

However, I think I can answer this for you having gone there been there and tried to do that.

 

I got both the C#.NET and the VB.NET versions running for local files - no problem and then decided to discard both these and build my own code - I did and it is running beautifully for a local file.

 

The problem with an online file is the need for authentication - and NO YOU CANNOT automate it - logon passwords will not and cannot be stored. They can be for a local file but not online.

 

To establish a connection with an online file you must first get an access token WHICH CAN ONLY BE INITIATED MANUALLY with a manual logon and a 2Fa - this token lasts for a week but expries and must be refreshed every 20 mins.

 

Once you have this access token - refreshing can be automated an no longer requires re-logon.

 

However, it is this initial logon you are trying to automate - you cannot for security reasons - IT MUST INITIALLY be manual.

 

I am at that stage of doing that now in my code and then capturing the access token in the https response.

 

Hope this helps
