Hello… I am new at erpnext, question is i have .json file contains biometric device log such as
user_id, timestamp, punch, etc…
ex:
{‘uid’: 3177, ‘user_id’: ‘5’, ‘timestamp’: datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 11, 9, 12, 40), ‘status’: 1, ‘punch’: 1}
My question is how to export .json file to my project or how to connect biometric device with erpnext project…
I have followed the steps at this link but have errors GitHub - frappe/biometric-attendance-sync-tool: A simple tool for syncing Biometric Attendance data with your ERPNext server

Hope you have set ERNEXT_API_KEY and ERPNEXT_API_SECRET of the ERPNext User properly in local_config.py. Also ensure that the User has the required permissions.

Below are the delineation of the keys contained in local_config.py:

  • ERPNext connection configs:

    • ERPNEXT_API_KEY: The API Key of the ERPNext User

    • ERPNEXT_API_SECRET: The API Secret of the ERPNext User

      Please refer to this link to learn how to generate API key and secret for a user in ERPNext.
      The ERPNext User who’s API key and secret is used, needs to have at least the following permissions:

      1. Create Permissions for ‘Employee Checkin’ DocType.
      2. Write Permissions for ‘Shift Type’ DocType.

I tried to enter ERPNEXT_API_KEY and ERPNEXT_API_SECRET
ERPNEXT_API_KEY = ‘…’
ERPNEXT_API_SECRET = ‘…’
ERPNEXT_URL = ‘http://company.com/api/method/erpnext.hr.doctype.employee_checkin.employee_checkin.add_log_based_on_employee_field’
but still get the same error

Kindly refrain from sharing API credentials in a public forum.

After test he return this error:
frappe.exceptions.PermissionError: Not Allowed, <function add_log_based_on_employee_field at 0x7f1014204268>
Any kind of help?

As you can see this is a PermissionError, which means that the ERPNext user’s, whose API Secret is set, does not have adequate permissions.

Check that the user has Create permissions for Employee Checkin and Write permissions for Shift Type
