When exporting lists of signups, one of the system fields collected has column title “User Agent.” This is self-explanatory when it lists the browser and platform used to sign up. However, when it has in that field “API” what does that refer to?
We are not adding entries via REST API or from an app, so can someone please explain to me what it means when an entry has “API” listed in the User Agent column? Is it a legit signup?
We do have partial entries enabled, would this mean that someone filled out the form and abandoned it before submitting it, and therefore it’s a partial entry even though all the required fields were completed, with only the submit button not being clicked?
A user agent of API means the entry was added or updated using the REST API or the PHP-based GFAPI. The GFAPI is used by the Partial Entries Add-On to create and update the partial entry.
The submit button might have been clicked, and the form failed validation. You’ll know if the form was submitted and passed validation by checking the partial entry progress on the entries list or detail page, it will be a checkmark when the partial entry has been updated to be a completed entry.
Thanks for the reply. So we are not updating or changing any entries with REST at all, but using the partial entries add-on it would use the GFAPI.
So if an entry, when using partial entries, does show a green check mark in the “progress: required fields” column, does that mean the entry was submitted by clicking the submit button - provided we are not using REST API to alter/update any entries?
Also, am I correct to assume that for any entry when using partial entries, that a partial entry is created every time and once the submit button is clicked it’s converted to a full entry indicated by the green check mark in the “progress: required fields” column?
