Attendee vs User

I know I can get all that info via the history xml apis. My question is whether I'm ok treating all participants as attendees? I don't see why I should make them a user. Am I right? You only want them as users when you want to give them access to the webex webpage? The only problem that I see, is that I can not find an xml api that will give me information on a particular attendee. I saw one in the url api that was FindAttendee FA, but I couldn't find a corresponding one in the xml api.

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Hello Ursula, You will not want to make all attendees into host accounts. That would quickly suck up the sites host licenses in most situations. The AT=FA command with the URL API has a misleading name. It doesn't really find attendees, it will only search your contact list for a name or email address. The equivilant for this command in the XML API is LstContact. I'm not sure what information you want back from the attendee, but we do have an XML API call LstMeetingAttendee that will return personal and meeting information for all the invited attendees for a meeting. Thank you -Kingsley

Mark as an Answer Submit Reply with Quote Quick Reply Thanks for your response. I'll keep them as attendees then. What I'm looking for is that number that pops up in the teleconference box when you just enter an event. It seems to be a 3 digit number that identifies you. They call it attendeeid, but it doesn't seem to be the same as the real attendeeid because is considerably shorter.
