Author Topic: Get Activity Statuses via API (Read 366 times)

I'm adding activities to contacts via the API. I'd like to not hard-code activity status IDs in my code, but I can't figure out how to get an activity status ID, or a list of activity statuses, via the API. Could anyone provide an example or point me to a direction?

Thanks!

You can get acceptable options for most fields using getoptions - eg.
https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/api/v3/examples/Contact/Getoptions.php

Note that usually you can use either the id or the value e.g

civicrm_api3('activity', 'get', array('status_id' => 'Completed')):

should work the same as passing the id

Thank you! I ended up needing the whole list, so getoptions was exactly what I needed. Also, thanks for letting me know I could pass the value. I wasn't aware of that.
