Athletics Schedules and Locations GET requests return empty map_url field

Clay Giffin

I have tried using both the `schedules` and `locations` endpoints, and both return an empty string value for `map_url`. I believe this is a bug, as the data does exist within the myschoolapp admin dashboard for each of the locations for our school (as in, I can see the map link when I look at the calendar and click on “Directions & Details”).

Is this just a dead piece of data that we aren't supposed to use? As is, there is no way for me to properly connect a schedule event with a real world location, as I am only provided the location name and not the location ID or address from the `schedules` endpoint.

@Clay Giffin I see you posted this a few days ago with no response and was wondering if you found the answer you were looking for or if the issue is resolved.

Clay Giffin

@Brian Riesen Unfortunately, no. I am 99% sure that this is an issue on Blackbaud's side, but I have not had any response from their dev team yet.

Brian Riesen

@Clay Giffin I'll be sending you a direct message to find out who you've been in contact with already. Check your messages/inbox…

Brian Riesen

@Clay Giffin I did hear back that our dev team is aware of and working on a GET Users issue. I don't have an ETA or more information than that at this time, but I thought you might like to know.

@Brian Riesen Thank you for the update. It could also be great to be able to pull the location id along with the location name. That way, we potentially do a separate GET request to pull all of the related location data if needed.
