GetHardBookingsRaw

Reporting API: Returns booked hours per employee, allocation and day in a date range - manual, Outlook and favourite bookings.


API	Reporting API (raw extracts)
Endpoint	`POST https://app{server-number}.timelog.com/{account}/Service.asmx`
SOAPAction	`http://www.timelog.com/ws/tlp/v4_4/GetHardBookingsRaw`
Content-Type	`text/xml; charset=utf-8`
Authentication	`siteCode`, `apiID` and `apiPassword` as the first three parameters. See Authentication
Changes data	No. Safe to retry.
Paging	No: the whole result comes in one response. Narrow it with the filters.

How it works

Filters: the employee's USER id, a mandatory date range on the booked day, and the booking type. CAUTION: hardbookingType = 0 does NOT filter - it returns every type. There is no way to request manual bookings only; filter HardBookingType = 0 on the client. Planning data of every employee.

Response

The result is an XML document inside GetHardBookingsRawResult: a tlp:Hardbookings root with one tlp:Hardbooking element per record. Check the response format first: the same slot also carries the empty result and errors.

tlp:HardbookingHardbooking[]

One element per record. Fields without a value are left out of the element, so treat every field as optional.

Example error

Wrong credentials, or a call over plain HTTP:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <GetHardBookingsRawResponse xmlns="http://www.timelog.com/ws/tlp/v4_4">
      <GetHardBookingsRawResult>
        <tlp:Errors xmlns:tlp="http://www.timelog.com/XML/Schema/tlp/v4_4">
          <tlp:Error>Access denied. Check siteCode, apiID, apiPassword and SSL settings</tlp:Error>
        </tlp:Errors>
      </GetHardBookingsRawResult>
    </GetHardBookingsRawResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Data and No rows are illustrative examples: the format follows the service's documented output, with made-up values (only one record shown). Access denied was recorded from a real call with wrong credentials (to GetCustomersShortList; every data method answers the same way).

Errors

The errors every method can return (access denied, operation failed, invalid request) are listed once in Responses and errors.

This method has no errors of its own beyond the shared ones.
