Join the LiquidPlanner Developer Forum > Start and stop task timer using the API

Hi,

Is it possible to start and stop a task timer using the API?

Thanks in advance

Task timers are not currently exposed via the API; we will add them in a later release, but we don't have an ETA.

Thanks Brett; that's top1 on our wish list since we're developing our own client for time tracking.

We'll keep an eye on future updates.

Cheers

André

FYI - we are working on adding this to the API now; this will support us adding timers to our iPhone app.

It came up at a meeting today that we'd really like a way for the API to report (possibly only to a workspace owner? we're not picky) what, if anything, each user's timer is currently timing.

It would give a quick "what do people seem to be working on" display.

Great idea, will add of engineering queue.

@Ricardo - I'm told by the dev team that this will be in the next release (mid Sept).

@Charles, did this ever get added to the API? I looked in the docs but I couldn't seem to find it.

November 16, 2010 | Registered CommenterEric Jonas

It did but it looks like the docs did not get updated in the API Guide. Engineering is on it right now and I'll have them send you info directly.

Thanks.
C.

Docs have been updated and can be found at:

This only appears to show the timers of the user making the API request, so it can't be used to produce a "what is everyone doing" request.

Also, when I have two timers, one running and the other not, I see this:


[
{"created_at":"2010-11-18T16:32:28+00:00",
"created_by":21080,
"updated_at":"2010-11-18T16:34:05+00:00",
"updated_by":21080,
"person_id":21080,
"treeitem_id":2297228,
"started_on":null,
"total_time":0.0271145822833333,
"total_work":0.0271146088319444,
"type":"Timer",
"id":92689
},
{"created_at":"2010-11-18T16:34:05+00:00","created_by":21080,"updated_at":"2010-11-18T16:35:16+00:00","updated_by":21080,"person_id":21080,"treeitem_id":2376066,"started_on":null,"total_time":0.0196500254077778,"total_work":0.0196500553752778,"type":"Timer","id":92692}]

So, "started_on' appears always to be null. Also, how can I tell which, if any, timer is running?
