Introduction

Web service interface

The different functions of the Workity API are available as web service using the following URI:

https://www.workity.com/services/api.asmx

Opening this web service URI using a regular web browser shows all API functions and the associated WSDL service description. Selecting a specific function provides the SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 definition of a corresponding service request and response.

Ticket authentication

In order to avoid providing the user credentials (user email address and password) for each API function call, a so called ticket in the form of a GUID is used to authenticate a specific user. A successful call of the Login function providing valid credentials of a specific Workity user returns a new ticket for this user in the header of the associated SOAP response.

Example of a Login SOAP response including a GUID as ticket in the SOAP header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Header>
    <TicketHeader xmlns="http://www.workity.com/services/api">
      <Ticket>f30f74e1-05e0-43bc-8a93-1ac90106a986</Ticket>
    </TicketHeader>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <LoginResponse xmlns="http://www.workity.com/services/api">
      <LoginResult>0</LoginResult>
    </LoginResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Each call of another API function must provide a valid ticket for the calling user in the header of the associated SOAP request to authenticate this user.

Example of a GetUserInfo SOAP request including a GUID as ticket in the SOAP header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Header>
    <TicketHeader xmlns="http://www.workity.com/services/api">
      <Ticket>f30f74e1-05e0-43bc-8a93-1ac90106a986</Ticket>
    </TicketHeader>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <GetUserInfo xmlns="http://www.workity.com/services/api" />
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

A successful call of the Logout function disables the associated ticket. In doing so, this ticket cannot be used anymore to authenticate the calling user.

The IsAuthenticated function can be used to check, if the associated ticket is still valid.

A ticket automatically becomes invalid, when it hasn't been used for longer than 1 hour.

Write-Write-Conflict

A call of the functions SaveFile, SaveNote or SaveTask may produce a so called Write-Write-Conflict, when two or more members of the same project independently and quite simultaneously are editing the same revision x of a specific item (task, note or file) and save these changes with the same new revision x + 1 .

In case of a Write-Write-Conflict, the complete current content (except the assigned keywords and persons) of revision x + 1 of the affected item is copied to a new item before this content is overwritten with new content for revision x + 1. In addition, the affected item as well as its copy are both tagged with the !WRITE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword. This special keyword has the identification number 1, which is equal to the return value of the SaveFile, SaveNote or SaveTask function when a Write-Write-Conflict occurred.

When a file item is affected by a Write-Write-Conflict, a new note item with the file name as title and the file item details is created as copy. The binary content of the associated file is not copied and can only be downloaded using the original file item.

A Write-Write-Conflict can be solved by the involved persons using the GetItemsByAdvancedSearch function to search for all items tagged with the keyword with identification number 1. Afterwards, the content of the resulting items can be merged into one single item and the obsolete copies can be deleted using the DeleteItems function. Furthermore, the !WRITE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword can be removed from the resulting item using the RemoveKeywords function.

Example: Lenny and Carl create together a note item as guest list for their collective birthday party. This note item has currently the revision number 10 and is independently and simultaneously edited by Lenny and Carl. First, Lenny adds Homer to the guest list and saves the item with the new revision 11. Right afterwards, Carl also saves this note item with revision 11, because he added Ned to the guest list. In doing so, a Write-Write-Conflict occurred and is indicated to Carl by receiving 1 as return value of his SaveNote function call. Now, Carl calls the GetItemsByAdvancedSearch to search for the two note items tagged with the keyword with identification number 1. Comparing the details of these items, Carl recognizes that Lenny added Homer to the guest list. So Carl also adds Homer to the latest list already including Ned. Then he deletes the obsolete copy by calling the DeleteItems function. Furthermore, he also removes the !WRITE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword from the original note item by calling the RemoveKeywords function.

Delete-Write-Conflict

A call of the functions SaveFile, SaveNote or SaveTask may produce a so called Delete-Write-Conflict, when independently a project member deletes a specific item (task, note or file) and right afterwards another project member attempts to save this item.

In case of a Delete-Write-Conflict, the new content of the recently deleted item is saved into a new item of the associated project. In addition, this new item is tagged with the !DELETE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword. This special keyword has the identification number 2, which is equal to the return value of the SaveFile, SaveNote or SaveTask function when a Delete-Write-Conflict occurred.

When a file item is affected by a Delete-Write-Conflict, only the new details of this file item are saved into a new note item with title ???. The binary content of the affected file is irrevocable deleted.

A Delete-Write-Conflict can be solved by the involved persons using the GetItemsByAdvancedSearch function to search for the item tagged with the keyword with identification number 2. Depending on the relevance of its content, this item can be either deleted again using the DeleteItems function or it can be re-assigned with related persons and keywords using the AddPersons and AddKeywords functions. Furthermore, the RemoveKeywords function can be used to remove the !DELETE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword from this item.

Example: Lenny and Carl organized a collective birthday party. After the party, Lenny wants to add some new contact information to the note item containing the guest list, because he wants to use this list again the next year. While Lenny is editing the list, Carl independently deletes this note item. When Lenny attempts to save his changes by calling the SaveNote function, a return value of 2 indicates him that a Delete-Write-Conflict occurred. Now, Lenny calls the GetItemsByAdvancedSearch function to search for the item tagged with the keyword with the identification number 2. Since Lenny still wants to keep the guest list, he calls the AddPersons function to re-assign himself to the resulting note item. Furthermore, he removes the !DELETE-WRITE-CONFLICT! keyword from this item using the RemoveKeywords function.

Data types

Edit

array

Within this documentation an array of a specific data type is described using the notation type-array. For instance, the notation long-array represents an array of long values.

top

Edit

boolean

Represents a true/false value.

top

Edit

byte

Represents an 8-bit unsigned integer value in the range 0 to 255.

top

Edit

int

Represents a 32-bit signed integer value in the range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

top

Edit

string

Represents a string value in Unicode format.

top

Edit

dateTime

Represents a specific date and time using the ISO 8601 Standard format:

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mmTZD (e.g. 1989-11-09T22:30 represents November 9, 1989 at 10:30 pm)

• YYYY = 4-digit year (e.g. 1989)
• MM = 2-digit month (01 = January, 02 = February, etc.)
• DD = 2-digit day of month (01 through 31)
• hh = 2-digit hour (00 through 23, am/pm NOT allowed)
• mm = 2-digit minute (00 through 59)
• TZD = optional time zone designator (Z or +hh:mm or -hh:mm)

A valid dateTime value may also include 2 digits of second, but this part will be ignored. In doing so, the dateTime values 1989-11-09T22:30:01 and 1989-11-09T22:30:59 are interpreted to be equal.

A valid dateTime value must be in the range 1900-01-01T00:00 to 2079-06-06T23:59.

HTML backup application

The HTML backup application is a simple Windows console application to automatically create regular backups of the complete content of all projects in HTML format.

After the application has been started, the user email address and password of a Workity Premium user is requested. If the user authentication has been successful, an HTML file with the complete content (tasks, notes, files) of all active projects of the given user is created in the application directory.

In doing so, the console application combines the following actions of the Workity web-application:

1. selection of all active projects on the dashboard
2. execution of the "Show items" action
3. selection of all items on the dashboard
4. execution of the "Export selected items as HTML file" action

Download application: WorkityBackup.zip (20 KB)

Download C# source code of the application as Microsoft Visual Studio project: WorkityBackupSource.zip (151 KB)
