Multiple queues

    • Richard

    Just to confirm - It appears that the API doesn't currently support the ability to use multiple queues within an account, correct?
    Are there any plans to add this?

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Do you mean profiles? They are supported.

    Michael,
    Can you explain how? I also don't see anything in the API for interacting with secondary profiles/queues.

    I'm sorry - I'm not sure what you mean by "profiles". Can you clarify?
    I was asking about the ability to switch, for example, from a parent queue to a child queue from a parent account.

    If you're referring to a secondary account profile off of the main profile, e.g. a different login with it's own queue and rental quota, you can access that account by logging in with that account during the authentication flow.

    In other words, you need to use that secondary account's access token to access it's queue, ratings, etc.

    I'll be darned. I always access my secondary queue by logging into the main account and then switching the active queue. I'd completely forgotten that the secondary queue has it's own user name and password. Thanks for the reminder!

    Ok. Are there any plans for adding the ability via the API to access the secondary queue while logged on as the primary account?

  7. Michael Hart3 years ago

    Not at this time, but there is no reason why an app can't manage multiple access tokens to access multiple accounts.

    Ok, thanks for the help!

    Is it possible to get all the profiles listed under an account via the API? It'd be very cool to be able to be able to be able to switch profiles while in the parent profile.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. Profile listing is not supported today, but we'll keep it in mind for the future.
