Podio API - Invalid token during project tasks sync - podio

Question

We're currently receiving this 400 error when trying to fetch new tasks:
{"error_parameters":{},"error_detail":null,"error_propagate":false,"request":{"url":"http:\/\/api.podio.com\/task","query_string":"completed=true&completed_on=-5d&fields=completed_on&limit=100&offset=0&sort_by=rank&sort_desc=false&space=3798819","method":"GET"},"error_description":"Invalid token '(files,tags,votes)'","error":"invalid_value"}
Just so you know we don't use this for our internal purposes, instead we have an integration set up that allows tasks sync'ing and completion.
We're doing a loop to paginate through all the space tasks:
get('/task', { space: project_link.remote_id, sort_by: 'rank', limit: limit, offset: offset, sort_desc: false, completed: completed, fields: 'completed_on' })
EDIT:
def sync_project(project_link)
existing_remote_ids = _synced_remote_task_ids(project_link.link_id)
synced_project_ids = []
[{completed: false}, {completed: true}].each do |params|
offset = 0
loop do
tasks, next_offset = tasks_page_for_project(project_link: project_link, offset: offset, **params)
tasks.each do |task|
remote_task = map_podio_task(task, project_link.link_id)
_process_task(remote_task)
synced_project_ids << remote_task[:id].to_s
end
offset = next_offset
break unless next_offset
end
end
_mark_tasks_deleted(existing_remote_ids - synced_project_ids)
end
def tasks_page_for_project(project_link:, offset:, completed: false)
next_offset = nil
limit = 100
params = { space: project_link.remote_id, sort_by: 'rank', limit: limit, offset: offset, sort_desc: false, completed: completed, fields: 'completed_on' }
params[:completed_on] = '-5d' if completed
tasks = get('/task', params)
if tasks.size == limit
next_offset = offset + limit
end
return tasks, next_offset
rescue TaskSync::ProjectRemovedError => ex
raise TaskSync::ProjectRemovedError.new(self, project_link.remote_id), ex.message
rescue TaskSync::TemporaryNetworkError => ex
ex.project_id = project_link.remote_id
raise ex
end
def service
check_token
#service ||= build_client(href, 'Authorization' => "OAuth2 #{token[:token]}")
end
def authorization
params = {
grant_type: 'refresh_token',
client_id: TaskSync.config[:podio][:client_id],
client_secret: TaskSync.config[:podio][:client_secret],
refresh_token: token[:refresh_token]
}
build_client 'https://podio.com/oauth/token', { 'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }, params
end
def href
'https://api.podio.com'
end
And this error only occurs for a single client.
Can you tell us what this error means? Is it OAuth related or does it have to do with something else?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks for reporting spotted issue in Podio documentation. It was misleading here (updated docs are already published).
Format for completed_on field is YYYY-MM-DD-YYYY-MM-DD.
E.g. for all tasks completed in Jun 2017: 2017-06-01-2017-06-30

Answer 2

you did not mention what programming language you are using here is an example I wrote on PHP :
require_once 'podio/PodioAPI.php'; //podio library
error_log("validate triggerd");
$client_id = 'your client Id';
$client_secret = 'your client secret';
$app_id = 'your app id';
$app_token = 'your app token';
Podio::setup($client_id, $client_secret);
// Turn on debugging
Podio::$debug = true;
// Authenticate the app
Podio::authenticate('app', array('app_id' => $app_id, 'app_token' => $app_token));
and get your item:
$tasks = PodioTask::get_all( $attributes = array() );
