eMember – using API to remove a membership level

[Frank]

Good day, I’ve poked through most of the documentation but cannot find a solution for a particular problem. We need the ability, through the api, to remove a membership level from a user. If there are no other levels to the user, then have it just deactivate the account.

From what I can see, I can add a membership level, or a user and I can de-activate a user. But no way to de-activate a level for user.

The update API allows you to update the membership level and account status of a member:

For example, you can pass the level ID using the following query parameter to update the membership level:

membership_level_id

If you are using the multiple membership levels per user feature then you can also pass the additional/secondary levels using the following parameter:

more_membership_levels

Updating the membership level has the same effect as removing the old level(s) and applying the new level(s).

The API does a particular thing only. If you need to apply your own logic then you need to do that in your own custom code.

So for example you can first query a member’s record and inspect its membership level:

Then call the update API accordingly to update the level or change the account status to “inactive”
