Constituent Name Formats / Last Updated

Kevin Hardy

1 - Is there a way to pull all constituent name formats for ALL constituents without having to make one request per constituent? (that can get really expensive will a lot of constituents!)

2- When a constituent name format gets updated, is there a way to pull only constituents with a recently updated constituent name format? From what I can tell, updating a constituent name format doesn't change the date_modified on the constituent record.

3 - (somewhat unrelated) For the constituent list endpoint, the documentation says “This endpoint returns data with an average latency of about 30 minutes.” Is there any way to add/see that timestamp of when the data for the constituent list was updated? (this actually goes for any “list” endpoint)

Thanks all!

Hi Kevin,

1 - Since this function is calculated record by record we have not added it to the list endpoint for complexity and performance reasons.

2 - Any change to a record will update the date modified field. There is not a way to distinguish records that have only had this one field updated. Any change to the record will update the date stored in that field.

3 - For the constituent list endpoint, date modified is already based on the last sync date for the list so the data you need should already be available here.

I hope this helps!

Anthony
