# About the Wix Bookings Attendance API


With the Wix Bookings Attendance API,  you can retrieve and manage a booked session's attendance information by: 

* [Setting](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/set-attendance) the attendance for a given booked session.
* [Getting](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/get-attendance) the attendance information for a given booked session by ID.
* [Querying](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/query-attendance) the attendance by given filters, sorting, and paging.

## About the attendance object

The [attendance object](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/attendance-object) holds information about the attendance of a booked session, such as: 
* Did anyone attend the session? 
* How many people attended the session?

The number of session `Attendance` objects available depends on session types:  
+ Appointment sessions have 1 `Attendance` object per appointment.
+ Class sessions have an `Attendance` object for each session of the class. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions' [`schedule.capacity`](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/schedules-and-sessions/schedule/schedule-object) property.
+ Course sessions have an `Attendance` object for each session of the course. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions' [`schedule.capacity`](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/schedules-and-sessions/schedule/schedule-object) property.


## Use cases

Common business usages for this API include:

* Set the attendance for a given booked session to reflect how many attendees checked in.
* Query the attendance for a given participant in a course booking.
* Query attendance for a particular booking's sessions over time to see if a particular session has frequent no-shows. You can compare the number of attendees to the number of participants that signed up for that booking's sessions. 

## Terminology

For a comprehensive glossary of Wix Bookings terms, see [Terminology](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/terminology).


## Before you begin

Validation capabilities are limited. Make sure your code validates that: 
+ There is no mismatch between `numberOfAttendees` and `attendanceStatus` to make sure, for example, that `attendanceStatus` is not `NOT_ATTENDED` while `numberOfAttendees` is `5`. 
+ The attendance's `numberOfAttendees` and the booking's `numberOfParticipants` correspond. For example, the number of attendees usually should not exceed the booking's intended number of participants (unless perhaps you allow walk-ins that did not sign up in advance).

# Supported Filters and Sorting


[Query Attendance](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/query-attendance) runs with these defaults:

+ sorted by `id` in `ASC` order
+ cursorPaging.limit is `50`

The following table shows field support for filters for the `Attendance` object:


| Field             | Supported Filters                                                     | Sortable  |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| --------- |
| `id`                | `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$hasSome`                               | Sortable |
| `bookingId`         | `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$hasSome`                               | Sortable |
| `sessionId`         | `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$hasSome`                               | Sortable |
| `status`            | `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$hasSome`                               | Sortable |
| `numberOfAttendees` | `$eq`, `$ne`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$hasSome`, `$lt`, `$lte`, `$gt`, `$gte` | Sortable |


> **Notes:**
> + Only 1 filter is supported per query. If you define multiple filters in the same query, only the first is processed.



To learn about working with query endpoints, see
[API Query Language](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/getting-started/api-query-language),
[Sorting and Paging](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/getting-started/sorting-and-paging),
and [Field Projection](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/getting-started/field-projection).

The `Attendance` object represents the attendance information
for a booked session, such as:

+ Did anyone attend the session?
+ How many people attended the session?

The number of session `Attendance` objects available depends on the booking type:
+ Appointment bookings have 1 `Attendance` object per appointment session.
+ Class bookings have 1 `Attendance` object for each session of the class. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions [`schedule.capacity`](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/schedules-and-sessions/schedule/schedule-object) property.
+ Course bookings have an `Attendance` object for each session of the course. For example, if there are 12 sessions in a course, there are 12 `Attendance` objects. The number of sessions for a class is defined in Schedule and Sessions [`schedule.capacity`](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/schedules-and-sessions/schedule/schedule-object) property.

bookingId

Total number of participants that attended the session. By default, the number
of attendees is set to `1`, but you can set a number to greater than `1` if multiple
participants attended.

Do not set to `0` to indicate that no one attended the session. Instead, set the `status` field to `NOT_ATTENDED`.

Default: 1

numberOfAttendees

sessionId

Status indicating if any particpants attended the session:

+ `NOT_SET`: There is no available attendance information.
+ `ATTENDED`: At least a single participant attended the session.
+ `NOT_ATTENDED`: No participants attended the session.

Read Bookings - Including Participants

Retrieve attendance information for a booked session by attendance ID.

Retrieve attendance information

GetAttendance

Sets information about whether a booking's session was attended. This information
is saved in an `Attendance` object.


If attendance was already set, meaning the `Attendance` object already exists, the
existing attendance information is updated. Otherwise, a new `Attendance` object
is created.

By default, the number
of attendees is set to `1`, but you can set a number to greater than `1` if multiple
participants attended. Do not set to `0` to indicate that no one attended the session.
Instead, set the `status` field to `NOT_ATTENDED`.

> __Note:__ Make sure your code validates that:
>  + There is no mismatch between `numberOfAttendees` and `attendanceStatus` to make sure, for example, that `attendanceStatus` is not `NOT_ATTENDED` while `numberOfAttendees` is `5`.
>  + The attendance's `numberOfAttendees` and the booking's `numberOfParticipants` correspond. For example, the number of attendees usually should not exceed the booking's intended number of participants (unless perhaps you allow walk-ins that did not sign up in advance).

Manage Bookings

Mark a booked session as attended

SetAttendance

Whether a session is attended is determined by the `status` field, and not by the `number_of_attendees` field.

Mark a booked session as not attended

Retrieves attendance information for booked sessions, given the provided paging, filtering, and sorting.


When querying attendance information, you can query from the perspective of:
+ **A booking.** Specify a booking ID to retrieve attendance information
for all sessions related to that booking.
+ **A session.** Specify a session ID to  retrieve attendance information
for all bookings related to that session.

For example, query by a course's `bookingId` and `status = "NOT_ATTENDED"` to
retrieve the attendance of a given participant in a course. For example, this query
helps you determine if a participant booked the course
but did not attend most of its sessions, taking away spots for other potential participants.

Query Attendance runs with the following defaults, which you can override:

- `id` sorted in `ASC` order
- `cursorPaging.limit` is `50`

For field support, see [supported filters](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/attendance/supported-filters).

> __Notes__:
> + Another way to retrieve attendance information is to call Bookings Reader V2's [Query Extended Bookings](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/wix-bookings/bookings-reader-v2/query-extended-bookings) with `withBookingAttendanceInfo` as `true`.
> + Up to 100 results can be returned per request.
> + Only 1 filter is supported per query. If you define multiple filters in the same query, only the first is processed.

To learn about working with query endpoints, see
[API Query Language](https://dev.wix.com/api/rest/getting-started/api-query-language).

Retrieves information about sessions that were not attended.
