OAuth v2

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal I just received this today from GoTo Developer Center:

Thank you for using the GoTo Developer Center. We informed you earlier in the year about LogMeIn GoTo Developer Center and API enforcement of the strict OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol to improve security of our API program. This change requires your action.

Support for the old protocol has been extended until January 31, 2019 to give you time to test and update your code to use the new authentication services available under h‌ttps://api.getgo.com/oauth/v2.

Do you have any intentions of building out the OAuth 2.0 auth type like you stated in your config file?

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal It appears this may not be as difficult as originally thought. Updates to some fields and possibly the response with the access token:

[slakbal]

@upwebdesign hey there. Yeah I have a project running on this so still need to get to that sooner than later, but struggling a bit with finding time. Will see if I can make some time soon to tackle it. If you have already some ideas of how to implement it, it would help with the time issues :)

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal I asked this question via LogMeIn email support:

After reviewing the migration guide it appears Direct Login will still be available to use for the GoToWebinar API after Jan 31st 2019. Is this correct?

And their answer:

Correct. The Direct Login method will still be available. A curl example of Direct Login for v2 auth is shown on the Migration Guide

The migration, should you stick with Direct Login, looks to be fairly straight forward. This is great news from a time perspective. I will continue to assess.

[slakbal]

Cool... yeah will start to look at migrating everything to v2 auth soon.

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal I just want to make sure you are aware the Legacy OAuth authentication APIs will stop working October 1st, 2019. This is from an email I received Jan 30th.

Sample curl post for Direct Login with oAuth v2:

curl -X POST \
  'https://api.getgo.com/oauth/v2/token' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic {Base64 Encoded client_id and client_secret}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'grant_type=password&username={username}&password={password}'

Let me know if you have questions. I will see if I can find time to get a pull request created for this update.

+"error": "OAuth API v1 has been decommissioned as announced in February 2018, please switch to OAuth API v2 documented here: https://goto-developer.logmeininc.com/oauth-migration-guide. Please reach out to Support ([email protected]) with questions.
Hy, I also get this error. I guess the path in the DirectLogin.php, but what else should be changed?

[GalBrigitta]

Oh I see now this was merged, but I installed with composer and it is not updated.

[upwebdesign]

@GalBrigitta it sounds like you required dev-master. If you want to use oAuth V1 (until V2 is stable) you need to require the package or specify a release.

composer require slakbal/gotowebinar
composer require slakbal/gotowebinar:^1.0

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal I see there have been changes to the code in master, have you confirmed these updates work? I will perform some tests myself as well. Once we confirm, we should release a new version. Thoughts?

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal Seems the current dev-master has "orchestra/testbench": "~3.7" required and that particular version requires "laravel/framework": "~5.7.14". This is going to be a problem for those that have slightly older versions of Laravel. We are using L5.6 at the moment and I cannot install dev-master. This is not bleeding edge, but I feel like your package should support at least down to L5.6.

Proposed solution is to require "orchestra/testbench": "~3.6.6", which for now keeps us < 3.7

[GalBrigitta]

@upwebdesign a new release would be great, I can also help with testing. Anyway I reported an issue, do you think you could help?

[upwebdesign]

@GalBrigitta I am not the owner of this project nor do I have the ability to publish releases. We can create forks and provide pull requests.

[slakbal]

@GalBrigitta @upwebdesign - since the last week I've been working on a new release with OAuth2 and will soon start to commit to the dev branch.

Let me know if you have questions. I will see if I can find time to get a pull request created for this update.

Hey @upwebdesign - on the above, can you please check if the access_token (bearer token) that you receive back from the direct login method actually works in the v2 API via the documentation? It doesn't want to work on my side. You can test if it work directly in the documentation. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please let me know, since I want to avoid the standard OAuth redirect login and approval flow and want to keep the API integration fully automated and transparent.

Thanks!

No worries, it was my damn developer account on the dev portal that isn't allowing authentication. the production account is working fine.

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal, thanks for getting back on the wagon with this. I have not had the time to dive in, but at some point I will need to make the switch myself. I am loaded with another project at the moment and trying to fit in time for the project that your package uses. Once I get there I will keep you informed of any findings and contribute all that I can at that time. Thanks again for the dialog.

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal, after reviewing the commits on master it appears develop is slightly behind. Please review pull request #6. I dont believe those commits made it to develop branch.

I am doing a complete new development branch, will start to commit the new branch shortly.

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal when do you think you will have develop branch ready to be up on Github? I'd like to help to push this along.

@agmadt

[agmadt]

Hi @slakbal, I can help with the development if your hands is full, just let me know, I will gladly help..

[slakbal]

@upwebdesign @agmadt - thanks! I'm going to try and finish up the documentation tonight and the push the first version to the development branch. Then you all can jump in and help to polish :)

With the new major version I'm experimenting with getting the API closer to fluent Laravel way:

Create Webinar:

$result = Webinar::subject('Some meeting')
                    ->description('Description of the meeting')
                    ->timeFromTo(Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->toW3cString(), Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->addHour()->toW3cString())
                    ->timezone('Europe/Amsterdam')
                    ->singleSession()
                    ->noEmailReminder()
                    ->noEmailConfirmation()
                    ->create();   

Update Webinar:

$result = Webinar::webinarKey(123456789)
                ->subject('Some new Subject')
                ->description('a new description of the meeting')
                ->update();

Delete Webinar:

$result = Webinar::webinarKey(123456789)
                ->sendCancellationEmails()
                ->delete();

Create Registrant:

$result = Registrant::webinarKey(123456789)
                ->firstName('Peter')
                ->lastName('Pan')
                ->email('[email protected]')
                ->create();

What do you think of the above API?

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal this is looking really nice so far. I am inclined to do something like this when creating...

Create Registrant:

$result = Registrant::webinarKey(123456789)
                ->create([
                    'firstName' => 'Peter',
                    'firstName' => 'Pan',
                    'email' => '[email protected]'
                ]);

This gives a little more flexibility to add more fields without adding methods. This is just an observation. This is your package and you can decide which way you would like to go.

Flags such as:

->sendCancellationEmails()

These are really convenient and they explain what is happening very well.

I really like this:

Create Webinar:

$result = Webinar::subject('Some meeting')
                    ->description('Description of the meeting')
                    ->timeFromTo(Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->toW3cString(), Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->addHour()->toW3cString())
                    ->timezone('Europe/Amsterdam')
                    ->singleSession()
                    ->noEmailReminder()
                    ->noEmailConfirmation()
                    ->create();  

Alternative suggestion:

$result = Webinar::singleSession()
                    ->noEmailReminder()->noEmailConfirmation()
                    ->scheduleFromTo(Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->toW3cString(), Carbon::now()->addDays(2)->addHour()->toW3cString())
                    ->create([
                        'subject' => 'Some meeting',
                        'description' => 'Description of the meeting'
                        'timezone' => 'Europe/Amsterdam'
                    ]);  

Again, minor, and if the fields for GTW are not named subject or description, I like the method approach better as we map the data with more readable code.

Great work on this. Looking forward to playing around with it.

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal I just received the final notice from GTW. It is crunch time. Let me know where you are with the updates so we can review. As always, let me know if I can help. Thanks!

[slakbal]

@upwebdesign hey there, I've pushed the newest implementation, will tag only once we are happy with the stability. Will still be adding the sessions, etc. end-points to the implementation asap. Can you in the meantime have a look at it, test and if you find anything let me know, please.

[slakbal]

@upwebdesign hey Jesse, I've also pushed now Attendee and Session operations to the new implementation. Maybe you can test for me something on your side? When adding a registrant I get an API error when I want to delete it bu registranKey, the same also when I want to look up the registrant by registranKey. This also happens on the attendees side of things. I will also follow-up with Goto guys on the ticket I've raised for this. I've marked those issues with //todo in the code.

[slakbal]

@upwebdesign @agmadt @GalBrigitta - Going to close the issue for now since it is getting long. But you help with testing etc. will be appreciated. Especially around the issues on registrantKey. Thanks!

[upwebdesign]

@slakbal Im very busy at the moment to do new testing with the new code. I was able to use my PR to get oAuth working for now. I will reach out when I think I am ready for the new code.

[slakbal]

will reach out when I think I am ready for the new code.
