user's permission while using API

Lily LiLily Li Tyro
in API

Hi Team, I bring the follow up questions from my former thread to here since it looks like no one check that thread any more:

https://community.panopto.com/discussion/2675/about-users-permission-while-using-api

Our question is: Do the SOAP APIs require an admin account for all operations (not only the one mentioned in my former thread)? Specifically, for APIs like GetRecentReports and GetReport? Please let us know if there are more options.

Also, I want to confirm with you that for this getting reports question, you mentioned should use the SOAP APIs. From my understanding the steps include: 1. create recursing reports in panopto, 2. use GetRecetReports API to get all recent reports and then filter our to get the needed reports informaiton, which include reportID 3. use GetReport API to get certain report using reportID get from the returns from GetRecetReports API. 4. upload to Gsheet. Is this the right step? Are there any other SOAP APIs needed for this case?

Thanks,

    Hi Lily,

    For Panopto's SOAP API, particularly for methods like GetRecentReports and GetReport within the UsageReporting service, an administrator account is generally required for full access to system-wide reports.

    For the second part your flow looks correct, although we can queue report through API, but depending on your needs we have other methods as well.

    Let me know if you need any additional information.

    Thanks,

    Adis

    Thank you so much @Adis Hrnjica! We plan to use Panopto reports to identify individuals who watch the recording after a session. Specifically, we rely on the "Top Viewers" report using the "All Time" filter. Could you please share the other methods you mentioned for tracking or attributing attendance? What's the best way to do it? We'd be interested in exploring additional options. Thanks
