Request: Pull Clients Domain Name via the API

[imFORZA]

#225

Would like the ability to pull the clients domain information with the API:

Client main domain: domain.com
Default IDX domain: INSTALLNAME.idxbroker.com
Custom subdomain: CUSTOM.domain.com

This would be extremely useful for automation tasks, such as verifying the CNAME was properly setup for a client.

The systemlinks API method returns current pages and the domain approved for the account would be in these links. So the requested information could be inferred.

Example: {“uid”:”1234-9876″,”name”:”Address”,”url”:”http:\/\/CUSTOM.domain.com\/idx\/search\/address”,”category”:”search”,”systemresults”:false}

The main domain is there and if the CNAME was not applied it would return:

{“uid”:”1234-9876″,”name”:”Address”,”url”:”http:\/\/domain.idxbroker.com\/idx\/search\/address”,”category”:”search”,”systemresults”:false}

Since INSTALLNAME is the domain you can predict the default domain even if the Custom subdomian is set.

Does this not satisfy the information needed?

While you are correct I can use the current systemlinks API method to get the current systemlinks which include the domain. However, I would then need to limit the given results to one systemlink and strip out the rest of the known url just to get the domain name. That just seems like it could lead to future issues. What if in the future the systemlinks change? Seem Unlikely? Why would I as a developer want to risk it. I would need to re-code anytime they change. Having a separate and simple API call that only supplies the domains would be a much nicer solution.

Example of how this might work:

Assuming the client has a custom subdomain setup called “mysubdomain.domain.com”:

API CALL: https://api.idxbroker.com/clients/domains

Sample Result:
{"installname":"mysubdomain", "clientdomain":"domain.com", "defaultidxdomain":"mysubdomain.idxbroker.com", "customidxdomain":"mysubdomain.domain.com"}

Maybe having a filter so I can limit the results to just the domain I want, ie. “clientdomain”. Also notice how my example results did not have http:// or https://. I don’t think the API should be outputting urls with http://, but use // instead.
