get the start date or end date of a contest

You should be able to get that with these two calls.

/restapi/vc/polls/id/[poll id]/start_time

/restapi/vc/polls/id/[poll id]/end_time

Is it possible that this answer is for a poll, not for a normal contest?

When I check a contest in our environment (/restapi/vc/boards/id/[contest id]/polls), I get this message:

"<response status="success"><polls/></response>"

So, no poll in this contest. I didn't find anything that seems usefull for this.

Only for a poll, you can check "has_ended".

Can anyone please have a look at this?

Hi nfoulet 

I had the same requirement and therefore opened a product idea: https://community.lithium.com/t5/Product-ideas/Provide-REST-API-calls-to-see-if-a-contest-is-active/idi-p/171367

For the time being I'm using the following two calls to get the start and end date of a contest:

• /boards/id/<board_id>/settings/name/contest.posting_date_start
• /boards/id/<board_id>/settings/name/contest.posting_date_end

Note: These calls can only be used with restadmin

Hi

the call mfeltscher has included is relying on the fact that these values (set in Admin) are then stored as board level settings. It should be completely okay to use this for the time being as it's just another way of accessing a board setting.

Thanks,
