Warranty End Extension Attribute

This is in reference to the previous thread here, https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=4270 . I believe this has been working fine, but currently none of my systems are showing warranty end dates. Is Apple's site just down temporarily? Tried putting the URL in manually using a good serial number and I get "We're sorry, our system is not available at this time.". I'm just hoping this is temporary.

On a related note, is there a good method of retaining historical information on extension attributes and other data? For example, if I had a weekly report that gave me all of this info, today I could go to a previous report to find the warranty end dates of all my systems...

Thanks!

apple changed the format and output from selfsolve.apple.com.

check this for a working implementation in python: https://github.com/pudquick/pyMacWarranty

or this in ruby: https://github.com/glarizza/scripts/blob/master/ruby/warranty.rb

my methods of parsing selfsolve output cached the results to /etc, so any future runs of the script used to populate the extension attribute didn't actually have to do a lookup unless something changed.

    I was able to just add the <result></result> to your ruby script to get exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

    jwelsh, would you mind sharing how you modified the ruby script? Not knowing Ruby, I've tried a couple of options but am getting an empty result.

    Thanks!

    +1 on how to integrate to JSS extension attribute. Could just echo on shell/bash, but Ruby? Tried a few obvious options and no luck

    result = get_warranty(serial)
  print "<result>$result</result>"

    Nope.

    Simply put:

    puts "<result>" + result + "</result>"

    puts "<result>"+ (warranty_status ? "#{expiration_date}" : 'Expired') +"</result>"

    returns <result>December 10, 2016</result>

    That script is not working anymore since Apple added a Captcha on the checkwarranty site.. Currently there is no way to populate Warranty info without GSX it seems.
