Is it possible to pass three or more offering_types in one request in the schedules meetings api.If it so, then what would be the format of that field(offering_types)?

    @Sara Api
    Schedules meetings (BETA) can take a request for multiple offering types. It would look like this “1,2,3”.

    From the documentation:

    Returns a list of section meetings for a given date. When end_date is supplied a range of meetings between the given dates is returned.
    offering_types can take a single or multiple values as a comma delimited string of integers, defaults to 1
    end_date cannot be more than 30 days past the start_date. Default date range is 30 days.

    • Academics: 1
    • Activities: 2
    • Advisory: 3
    • Athletics: 9

    Hope that helps.

    As noted in

    there seems to be a bug at the moment that doesn't allow more than two offering_types at a time. It should be 1,2,3 but that gives a 400 error - 1,2 is fine and 2,3 is fine (and 1,9 to do academic and athletic), but any more than two entries error-out. I was trying to do 1,2,3,9 to capture all room bookings so I could import that into our room calendars.

    There's also an undocumented maximum number of returned entries since it doesn't currently page, so don't ask for large date ranges or you'll get truncated output.

    I have added the bug re: offering types to our backlog. I don't have a release date for that, but it will get fixed.

    The record limit should be based on a max of 30 days from the start date. If you are seeing a truncation of results not related to the 30 day maximum, please contact support and we will address that as well.
