API V1 Overview

Important Note: API V1 is no longer the recommended API when integrating with Club OS. To build a new integration, please refer to our API v3 Documentation for the most up to date APIs and documentation.

Introduction

The Club OS API uses HTTPS URLs to access its services.

Here is a good article on REST concepts if you are not familiar.
You should also understand the JSON data format as all request data must be sent as valid JSON

Authentication

Club OS will provide you a username and password when you register for the API. Here is a good reference for HTTP Basic Auth, which you must use for all requests.

You must also make sure to specify the Content-Type header to be "application/json" or your request will not succeed.

Documentation

Club OS API v 1.0 services are divided into specific groups. Please click the links below to access the service you are interested in.

Legacy Endpoint Documentation

Service Name	Description
Payment Services	Verify, add and update memberships, payments, and recurring club services.
Single Sign-On	How to enable Single Sign-On via the Club OS mobile app.

Additional Information

UNIX Timestamp

Unless otherwise specified, all DateTimes that are sent and received from the Club OS webservices will be in standard UNIX Timestamp format, as shown below.

yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'

Response

The Club OS API will respond to requests with a generic JSON Response object.

Property	Type	Description
status	Boolean	true if the request was successful, false if errors.
responses	ResponseMessage[]	An array of ResponseMessage objects (see below).

ResponseMessage

Property	Type	Description
message	String	A message describing what happened to the resource.
value	String	The id of the resource.

Using the ResponseMessage value property

The value property will contain the Club OS unique id for the resource you are creating or updating.

Below is an example ResponseObject:

{"status": true, "responses": [{"message":"Member Found","value":"CLUBOSUSERID"}]}

After a successful request, you should save this value in your database with the associated user. Then you can use them on subsequent requests. The unique id's ensure that our systems stay in-sync throughout the existence of the resource you are dealing with (users, memberships, club services, and payments).

Examples

Feel free to use any library or language you wish. If you would like to share your code once it works, please contact our support team and they will post it here.

PHP

This example shows how to post a prospect to Club OS via PHP (Wordpress, Facebook, etc..)

    $post_url = 'https://api.club-os.com/prospects?clubLocationId=[clubLocationId]';
     
    $body = array(
        'firstName' => $first_name,
        'lastName' => $last_name,
        'email' => $email,
        'mobilePhone' => $mobile_phone,
        'notes' => $notes,
        'source' => $source,
        'gender' => 'M'
    ); 
    $body_json = json_encode($body);
 
    $args = array(
        'headers' => array(
               'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( '[username]' . ':' . '[password]' ),
               'Content-type' => 'application/json'
        ),
        'body' => $body_json,
        'sslverify' => false
    );
  
    $resp = wp_remote_post( $post_url, $args );

JAVA

This example uses the Jersey library which can be downloaded here.

public class JerseyClientTest {
         
        Client client = Client.create();
 
        client.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter(username, password)); //Provided by Club OS
 
        WebResource webResource = client
 
           .resource("https://api.club-os.com/users");
 
        MultivaluedMap<String, String> params = new MultivaluedMapImpl();
 
        params.add("clubLocationId", clubLocationId); //Provided by Club OS
 
        ClientResponse response = webResource.queryParams(params).type("application/json")
 
           .post(ClientResponse.class, requestBody);
 
        String output = response.getEntity(String.class);
}

PERL

# Sample starter Perl code for Club OS integration.

$client->addHeader( 'Content-type' => "application/json" );
$client->addHeader( 'Authorization' => "Basic $auth" );
my $res = "https://api.club-os.com/users?clubLocationId=$locationID&userId=123";
$client->GET( $res );
my $response = JSON::XS->new->allow_nonref->decode( $client->responseContent() );
print "Status: $response->{status}\n";
foreach my $response_message ( @{ $response->{responses} } ) {
   print "Message: $response_message->{message}\n" if $response_message->{message};
   print "Value: $response_message->{value}\n" if $response_message->{value};
}
# sample POST
# my $res = "https://api.club-os.com/users?clubLocationId=$locationID";
# my $json = JSON::XS->new->allow_nonref->encode( {
#       role => 'member',
#       firstName => 'Bob',
#       lastName => 'Gonzalez',
#       # etc...
#    } );
# $client->POST( $res, $json );
# my $response = JSON::XS->new->allow_nonref->decode( $client->responseContent() );
exit();
