Returning A Custom Field Value With The Api

[lawrence-ytz]

I need to get the value of a custom field based on either client_id or username from an API call in an external application. I was hoping wither Users::getByUsername or Clients:getSettings would return the custom fields, but they don't.    Anyone know how I can accomplish this?

[lawrence-ytz]

found it, Clients:getCustomFieldValues, but it returns nothing, no response, no errors

 

$data = array(

'client_id' => $client_id

);

$response = $api->get("Clients", "getCustomFieldValues", $data);

 

print_r($response->response());

print_r($response->errors());

What is the response? null? That method always returns an array.

 

If the array is empty, then I suspect the client does not have any values set for any of the available custom fields. Perhaps the custom fields were created after the client already existed?

[lawrence-ytz]

the client has a value set in the custom field.  Absolutely nothing is returned.

One of the following would likely be true:

1. The client doesn't have any custom field values
2. The API call or credentials are invalid
3. The API call causes a fatal error or exception in the application
4. The API call never gets executed
