Payment integration - Supporting the import of detailed line payment information to a finance system
Currently only the total amount paid for fines etc. can be imported to our Finance System. Can the ability to identify and import various payment types & amounts be developed. This would allow us to match payments to differing fundcodes on our finance system. Further supporting the idea of moving to cashless

Rapid ILL
Add License option for "Authorized Users" for Electronic Title sets. Currently, there is no way to completely automate the Rapid ILL integration because you cannot exclude collections that we are not able to lend out.

Add Signature Verification to Online Import
Currently when configuring a Student Information System (SIS) for Online Import, you are only able to use basic authentication with an API. It would be nice to also send a signature to ensure that Alma is actually sending the message.

Integration through AWS Simple Storage
Our consortium currently maintains an SFTP server exclusively for transfering files from our student information system to Alma. The server must be maintained and monitored at a cost to us.
I would like to be able to configure Alma to retrieve the files from Amazon Simple Storage Service (AWS S3). File transfer would be over secure HTTPS and would cost us only a few pennies annually. Implementing this would allow us to retire the dedicated server and simplify our internal IT dependencies.

More user statistics
Hi,
currently the user object (https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/apis/xsd/rest_user.xsd?tags=GET) contains information regarding the total number of requests and loans as well as the total sum of fines & fees.
It would be great to have more of these - maybe even outsourced to an own resource e.g. /almaws/v1/users/{user_id}/statistics
Possible candidates could be:
(1) Total loans broken down by status (e.g. renewable, not renewable, overdue)
(2) Total loans due in n days (preferably with n configurable)
(3) Total requests broken down by type
(4) Total requests broken down by status and by type
(5) Total sum of fines and fees broken down…1 voteHello All,

Webhook for holdings
We have webhooks from Alma that can notify an external system when changes to items or bibs happen. We would like to have a webhook for changes to holdings. This would be helpful as we have an offsite storage system and we would like to update it as soon as items are switched to that location in Alma, so that when the items arrive there the external system has that update.

Enable institutions to set a maximum daily API call limit per application
As customers to the Alma and Primo APIs we are bound by the limits of our maximum number of calls per day. Some of our applications make up the majority of our API calls, for example, those from our student portal which call on Alma every time a student logs in.
To help us avoid hitting our daily API limit it would be useful for us to be able to set our own maximum call limit per application. So for example, we could set the limit for calls from the staff portal to a lower figure than of the student…
