API AddOrder pass billingcycle issue

[Sam666]

Hello,

I am able to add order via API AddOrder action, but the billingcycle always not passed to the API, no matter set to quarterly/semiannually/annually, it's always set to the default monthly(the other fields like priceoverride/hostname/clientid are able to pass to API).  Below is the POST URL, is there anything wrong on my request? Appreciate if anyone can help. 

https://www.example.com/clientarea/includes/api.php?action=AddOrder&clientid=1&paymentmethod=stripe&pid=41&billingcycle=annually&priceoverride=123&noinvoice=false&hostname=www.example.com&identifier=vmWf7bHEQY9y5Gwmrq9UWVnVojr8u1j9&secret=Ox123xEnP212T53k&responsetype=json"

Make sure the product in question supports the billing cycles you want to pass. As a reference for the product below you are allowed to set annually, biennially and triennially.

Thanks @Kian, yes it's due to the product just allowed Monthly, the billing cycle params can be accepted now. 

BTW, I have another issue is the `noinvoice` param also not accepted by API. No matter set to "true" or "false", both no invoice being generated. Is there anything I have missed?

Uhm... wait a second. Why are you posting that URL? I am not up to date on recent changes of WHMCS but if we are talking about sending API commands, you should be using POST not GET. In other words I would expect you to send a POST request to http://example.com/includes/api.php and not the query string you provided.

Also, if you are using the API on the same system, you don't even need to send any request. You can directly use localAPI function.

I am using the POST action, attached screenshot is my API test on postman, no matter set the `noinvoice` param to `true` or `false`, both didn't generate invoice. It seems this param has been ignored, or I have passed a wrong param/value?

Thank you @AladdinJ, yes just remove the `noinvoice` param if need to generate the invoice, but not set the `noinvoice` to `false`.  🙂
