                    "endDate": "2022-02-28T00:00:00.000",
                    "quantityinHours": "5"
                },{
                    "startDate": "2022-02-29T00:00:00.000",
                    "endDate": "2022-02-29T00:00:00.000",
                    "quantityinHours": "5"
                }, {

                    "endDate": "2023-01-200T00:00:00.000",
                    "quantityinHours": "0"
                },
		.....
            ]
        },
	....
    ]
}

Method usage rules

Be aware, that

  • when range is specified, no <quantityinHours> usage is required. System will ignore any value for <quantityinHours> if range is specified for more than one day. For such case availability will be set “0” automatically.
  • In case if partial availability it is required to be set per day, <quantityinHours> filed should be used. Availability will be calculated as 8 working hour minus <quantityinHours>. For example, if availability of 3 hours must be defined, <quantityinHours> must be set as 5.
  • In case if partial availability is required to be set for a range, then it should be defined for each day separately. Otherwise “0” will be applied automatically.
  • Any information present in json will overwrite previously provided. In case if some range won’t be present in next iteration of API method invoke, it will be erased.
  • Availability is allowed to be defined for two months in the past and no limitation for the future.
  • PersonId (localPersonnelNumber) cannot be updated via the API; however, it can be done via the interface (Internal ID) or a CSV file upload (ExternallD2).

III. ERRORS handling

At this moment errors handling is maintained via system logs export.

If method composed correctly, reply Status will be 200. Still, you need to check other logs for additional error description information.

Be aware , this approach will be changed with further releases to be unified to other API errors handling notification.

HTTP response status codes

Status 200 – OK – request applied

Status 201 – Created – item created

Status 401 – Unauthorized – session id invalid or expired

Status 403 – Forbidden – request forbidden

Status 404 – Not found – requested item not found

Status 409 – Conflict, Already present – cannot add item, already present
