XML GET Request using PHP and json

Can you please post a link to the API documentation?  You can almost certainly read it with cURL or maybe with file_get_contents()

I was emailed the API documentation it is not readily available for download on the web.

OK, what does it say about how to access the API?  Or what is the URL of the API?  Any other hints you can give us so we can show you how to set up a test case in PHP code?

The URL is in the code above...Thats about all I know...Thus far..

You will need something like this

function submitRequest($url, $key)
{
    $ch = curl_init(); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    
    // Setup $postfields here
    // Requires API documentation
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postfields);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

    $output = curl_exec ($ch);         
        
    curl_close ($ch);

    return $output;
}
$url = 'https://securegateplus.nmp.neuroticmedia.net/Product/fae8bc6e-f31e-466c-9889-230fbc9e6a54';
$key = "Key goes here but don't publish on public forums";

$response = json_decode(submit($url, $key);

The above is a sample - it won't work for you. We would need the api to be able to give you working code.

Somewhere in the API it will explain how to submit a request. This could be in the form of key value pairs posted to the URL or as an XML package with required parameters.

Without knowing what they are expecting to receive on the API side we cannot advise you further.

What the code above will do is make a server to server request - posting the data in $postfields to the remote server and retrieving the result sent back.

The final line will decode the returned JSON string into a PHP object.

If you need further assistence you will need to give us some info about how the API works.

Hi Ray, how do I add my cridentials?

I have no idea.  That would be part of the documentation for the API, I expect.

Hi Ray, how do I add my cridentials?

Please see my earlier post - without the API documentation we can't tell you this.

Its like saying I have just bought a new phone - how do I set the date and time.

Although the supplier of the information is providing a RESTful interface - how they have implemented their interface is documented in their API.

After reviewing the API I was able to get this working..thank you..

Thanks for the points -- glad you got it working! ~Ray
