RE: GethosturlMeeting for alternate host

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Threads [ Previous | Next ]
I am integrating our LMS with WebEx. We do not (and will not) create users on WebEx via the LMS; we only validate the WebEx users' credentials.
I have been scheduling meetings with using XML API 5.5. I have been adding and removing presenters as alternate hosts. Recently, I have noticed that when I call the GethosturlMeeting service, I get the URL for the original host and not the alternate host. Is there a way of getting the joinURL for the alternate host?
If this is not possible, I am considering changing how we schedule the meetings. We will often have to change presenters after the event has been scheduled. Is there a way to change the host once the meeting has been scheduled.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
 
Correct, the GethosturlMeeting request will only work for the original host.  However, you do have a couple of potential workarounds.  First, you could still use GethosturlMeeting to return the host URL then edit the WID and TK to use the ones for the alternate host.  The WID would just be replaced with the alt host's username and a login ticket for the alt host can be retrieved using GetLoginTicket (Chapter 3.5 of the XML 5.9 Reference Guide).  Second, you can just generate your own host meeting URL using our URL APIs.  The GethosturlMeeting is essentially doing the same thing for you.  Specifically you'd be looking at the Login command (p.php?AT=LI - Section 2-23 of the URL API WBS 27 Reference Guide) and Host Meeting (m.php?AT=HM - Section 2-103 of the URL API WBS 27 Reference Guide).
