API

Mr Robert Vale

Is there an API for the BNI connect site so that our own integrations can query/update referrals and TYFB?

I have a service ticket system that everything goes on and it has an open api to allow us developers to communicate with it.  I would like to be able to monitor for new referrals, and then I can auto insert the service tickets to follow up.  On completion of the service ticket I can then feed back to BNI referral status and if I raise invoicing against the ticket auto submit a TYFB.

    @robert - at this time there is not a publicly available API.  We have the request for a public API on our list and are adding your comments here as a "vote" for further prioritization.  Have an amazing weekend!

    We would also be extremely interested in using that API with our extended BNI dashboard instead of copy/pasting information both ways.

     

    Also, we can help you make a secure REST API if it's a matter of bandwidth/ budget.

    I'd also find a REST API extremely useful in building out custom KPI dashboards.

    Hi, Im new to BNI and thing this would be an extremely useful thing to have to increate efficiency within the chapters.

    I would be more than happy to help out with any external testing of a solution before going live if needed.

    Hi,

    I'm from BNI Heritage, Hanoi 2 region, Vietnam. If API opened to public, I can integrate automation and show report, remove copy-paste action daily.

    Every app which open API will increase various applications and make BNI more popular.

    How many applications made by google and apple, and how many applications made by developers in Google Play and AppStore, so you can see power of API.

    Hi, I'm Gino Muñoz from BNI Líderes - Santiago Chile, it would be great have an API to be able to work the BNI Connect and SSO login to our chapter page with Connect credentials.

    I stay waiting for this integration.

    best regard

    Hi, my name is Nerijus Jankauskas, I am from Lithuania. To have an API would be great. It would save so much time for BNI Leadership Teams who waste their time keying in data to BNI Connect manually. Thanks

    How has this not been addressed yet...lack of any API is causing double-entry across the board for every member, chapter, region, etc. What the hell are our dues going towards of something this needed is just being ignored.

    Hello friends,

    I can write an API to extract data from website. If anyone need solution to grab public available web content.

    please connect to me. Work will be on commercial basis only.

    Meihol Jhaveri: I don't think scraping is according to terms and conditions for BNI, and it's also not something I'd recommend as a solution to our problem. Rather, we'll try to encourage BNI to build this, faster than later.

    For myself, I highly encourage for BNI to build an open API – you probably are already dealing with an API for the mobile application, so we are probably talking about some documentation work and handling some authentication. BNI consists of many amazing businesses that can build value-addons to BNI Connect. I'd like to see – hell, I'd like to volunteer to build a thriving Open Source community around the BNI API(s).

    I'd happily help make it easy for anyone to build and extend. In these COVID-19 times, our daily chapter operations are not like they used too. We are trying to digitalize most of our processes – we would be very much better off using the same data source as the application. Not to mention dashboards, building better reporting solutions – what's not to love!

    Please prioritize an API in your backlog! 🙏

    It would be nice to have an API to map BNI connect to my CRM system.

    How can I vote for this feature?

    At this time we do not have any short term plans in place to develop a public API.  Sorry about that.

    Bump from Arizona... BNI Masters of Business... would help increase numbers both since recurring numbers would be entered automatically, and IT professionals could get this set up for other members and charge them for the service.

    Automation is key in every business, it reduces time spent and impoves accuracy. BNI api that integrates with zapier or any other ITTH platform is potential revenue maker for BNI that I would support in my business.

  • Mr Robert Vale

    Come on, this is ridiculous, I've just watched with the developer tools when I log into BNI connect.

    It makes a  request to https://api.bniconnectglobal.com/auth-api/authenticate

    If I look a update status on referrals:
    POST to https://www.bniconnectglobal.com/web/secure/referralTrackingSheetJson => Returns JSON

    If I update a status on a referral:
    POST to https://www.bniconnectglobal.com/web/secure/referralTrackingLineEdit => Returns JSON

    So you are already using a flipping API, just give us the documentation to use it.  Failing that I'm just going to deconstruct what the site is doing and write an API client that makes these calls.

    You are 90% there on the code, all you have to do is correctly implement n OAUTH endpoint rather than rely on session cookies.

  • Herr Simen André Wesley Olsen

    Robert, I agree with you.

    If we don't get any documentation and your patience runs out, let's create an OpenAPI/Swagger file that others can use to generate clients?

    It's high time this is made available.

    I think the API can be done for only reading / pulling data. Can we get the API documentation, please?

    I'd like to add my voice to the others asking for this.  It would be a huge time saver because it would allow us to automate the reporting of TYFCB.

    Any update on the automation of TYFTB, how hard can it be.

    I know someone who can do it if you guys can't.
