WebApi How do you get performances for a production for a data range?

I would double check the end date and time for your MOS that is set for online. It should only take the valid perfs and leave the past behind.

Maybe I am missing something, but I am looking for a way with the webapi to return only the current performances for a specified production?  Is there a web method the provides this functionality? 

I know I can write a custom method to do this, or iterate through the returned dataset and filter out past dates.

Thanks!

Actually, none of the API methods filter out performances that are in the past, even if the mode of sale is not active.  Here’s an excerpt from the new Tessitura and the Web document that addresses this:

As long as the mode of sale passed in a performance search exists on a performance it will be returned by a performance search.  The active dates on the mode of sale are also returned in the search results, as well as an on sale indicator that is set to Y if the current mode of sale is active or N if it is not.  Web code must be written to take action when the current date is outside the active dates on the mode of sale.

Now, the GetPerformances methods do have date parameters which you could use to only search for stuff in the future, and GetPerformancesEx3, which was added in v9, has a season parameter.  It also has a keyword parameter, which I suppose you could use in place of production season (by adding a keyword for production seasons to performances).  It’s probably not the most standard way to do things, but depending on your ability to get coding added to your website it might be easier to just add keywords.
