GET Speakers from the API

This article will go over how to get a list of users from the API that meet the following criteria:

• User is not in "Pending" status
• User has the "Speaker" role assigned
• User has "Accepted" session(s)
  • Include the associated Session information

Let's get started!

Getting Speakers

Use this API call:

GET https://ngapi.hubb.meapi/v1/[eventId]/Users?$expand=SpeakingAt&$filter=IsPending eq false and indexof(Roles,'Speaker') gt -1 and SpeakingAt/any()

Let's break down the query parameters:

• $expand=SpeakingAt
  • This is to show you the Speaker's session information.
  • This will return the Session Title (string) and SessionId (int).
• $filter=IsPending eq false
  • This is to filter out users who are in "Pending" status.
• $filter=indexof(Roles,'Speaker') gt -1
  • This is to filter out users who do not have the "Speaker" role.
• $filter=SpeakingAt/any()
  • This is to filter our Speakers who are in "confirmed" status, but do not have an "Accepted" session.
    • This is a concern for users who have multiple roles.
    • For example, if a user has both Speaker and Grader roles, they will be in a "confirmed" status (IsPending=false) even though they do not have an "Accepted" session.
