# EGroupware REST API for Timesheet
Authentication is via Basic Auth with username and a password, or a token valid for:
- either just the given user or all users
- CalDAV/CardDAV Sync (REST API)
- Timesheet application
Following schema is used for JSON encoding of timesheets
* @type: `timesheet`
* id: integer ID
* title: string
* description: string (multiple lines)
* start: UTCDateTime e.g. `2020-02-03T14:35:37Z`
* duration: integer in minutes
* quantity: double
* project: string
* unitprice: double
* category: category object with a single(!) category-name e.g. `{"category name": true}`
* owner: string with either email or username or integer ID
* created: UTCDateTime e.g. `2020-02-03T14:35:37Z`
* modified: UTCDateTime e.g. `2020-02-03T14:35:37Z`
* modifier: string with either email or username or integer ID
* pricelist: integer ID of projectmanager pricelist item
* status: string
* egroupware.org:customfields: custom-fields object, see other types
* etag: string `"<id>:<modified-timestamp>"` (double quotes are part of the etag!)
### Supported request methods and examples
* **GET** to collections with an ```Accept: application/json``` header return all timesheets (similar to WebDAV PROPFIND)

Following GET parameters are supported to customize the returned properties:
- props[]=<DAV-prop-name> eg. props[]=getetag to return only the ETAG (multiple DAV properties can be specified)
Default for timesheet collections is to only return address-data (JsContact), other collections return all props.
- sync-token=<token> to only request change since last sync-token, like rfc6578 sync-collection REPORT
- nresults=N limit number of responses (only for sync-collection / given sync-token parameter!)
this will return a "more-results"=true attribute and a new "sync-token" attribute to query for the next chunk
The GET parameter `filters` allows to filter or search for a pattern in timesheets of a user:
- `filters[search]=<pattern>` searches for `<pattern>` in the whole timesheet like the search in the GUI
- `filters[search][%23<custom-field-name>]=<custom-field-value>` filters by a custom-field value
- `filters[<attribute-name>]=<value>` filters by a DB-column name and value
