i am looking for an example to call data from API request using CURL in php.
Currently i am working on vreasy project, where i need to get data from its API. But in vreasy example, they have shown some like this
curl -u "<your-api-key>:" -X GET "https://api.vreasy.com/reservations?status=ENQUIRY&expand=guest&fields=guest/fname,guest/lname,guest/email"
so, my question how can i use this example to work with my PHP code. I want an example on PHP using this method.
I am new to this, sorry for that if this question looks like silly.
I am working on wordpress project, where need to data which retrieve from this API into wordpress custom post type.
i have tried something like this.
<?php
echo 'asd';
$api_key = 'your-api-key';
$url = 'https://api.vreasy.com/reservations?status=ENQUIRY&expand=guest&fields=guest/fname,guest/lname,guest/email';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $api_key . ":"); // Normally you'd put a password after the colon, but you don't need it if you're using an API key
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$response_json = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($response_json);
curl_close($ch);
but there is no response.
Thanks
Try this code. I have added this lines
$error = curl_error($ch);
print_r($error);
<?php
echo 'asd';
$api_key = 'your-api-key';
$url = 'https://api.vreasy.com/reservations?status=ENQUIRY&expand=guest&fields=guest/fname,guest/lname,guest/email';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $api_key . ":"); // Normally you'd put a password after the colon, but you don't need it if you're using an API key
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$response_json = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($response_json);
$error = curl_error($ch);
print_r($error);
curl_close($ch);
exit;
?>
you will get this error on localhost. SSL certificate problem
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

I'm trying to fetch all the docs from my CouchDB hosted in Cloudant, using PHP and CURL.
So far I've tried this, I get a 200 status, but nothing on the Response column of the console.
<?php
$url = "https://myuser.cloudant.com/mydb/_all_docs?include_docs=true";
$user = 'myuser';
$pass = 'mypass';
$ch = curl_init(); // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$pass");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
return $output;
return json_decode($output,true);
curl_close($ch);
?>
I'm not fluent in PHP, what am I missing?
A couple of things look odd to me about the above code sample. I usually put the credentials in the URL so https://user:pass#myuser.cloudant.com as the URL - then you don't need the following two curl_setopt lines. I'm not exactly sure how it would work to pass those separately.
Also you're returning twice. If you just want to inspect the output try the var_dump() command and see if that shows you what you expect?
I've been using the cloud environment, which works fine. I just recently downloaded the standalone version and am successfully running it on my ubuntu server. All the PHP SDK calls work, and the api/v1/data/[X Table Name] CuRL requests work.
However, I cannot get the CuRL request for valid login and logout to work. With the cloud implementation this was working:
function isValidToken($userToken){
$ch = curl_init();
$appId = APP_ID_FOR_CLOUD;
$restKey = REST_KEY_FOR_CLOUD;
$headers = array("application-id:$appId","secret-key:$restKey","application-type:REST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.backendless.com/v1/users/isvalidusertoken/" . $userToken);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
This returns the proper response.
Now the only thing that changes are the IDs, keys, and URL, but it cannot find the requested URL. Here is the call to the standalone implementation:
function isValidToken($userToken){
$ch = curl_init();
$appId = APP_ID_STANDALONE;
$restKey = REST_KEY_STANDALONE;
$headers = array("application-id:$appId","secret-key:$restKey","application-type:REST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://[my_server_ip_address]/v1/users/isvalidusertoken/" . $userToken);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
echo curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
The response I get is:
The requested URL /v1/users/isvalidusertoken/35A977A7-60DB-3772-FFC9-29E72AFAA200 was not found on this server.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance!
I was just able to figure this out, the issue was due to a simple typo in the URL. For anyone who may make the same mistake, the standalone URL (for isvaliduesrtoken) is:
http://[my_server_ip_address]/api/<your_app_version>/users/isvalidusertoken/<user-token>
I've been reading this helpful post:
http://techslides.com/hacking-the-google-trends-api
It shows how you can use cURL in command line/terminal to request data from google trends, for example;
curl --data "ajax=1&cid=actors&geo=US&date=201310" http://www.google.com/trends/topcharts/trendingchart
Gives you a big block of what I think is JSON. Below is an example of what I am doing to use cURL within my PHP to get data like this- however I cannot find anything that would get the data from the above cURL command to work in PHP like below.
<?php
//initialize session
$url = "http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends/atom/feed?pn=p1";
$ch = curl_init();
//set options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
//execute session
$data = curl_exec($ch);
echo $data;
//close session
curl_close($ch);
?>
How do I go about getting the data from above?
You can do the same with the PHP cURL extension. You just need to set the options through curl_setopt, so you would do something like this
$url = "http://www.google.com/trends/topcharts/trendingchart";
$fields = "ajax=1&cid=actors&geo=US&date=201310";
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Now you have the response of the website in $data and you can do whatever you want with it.
You can find the PHP cURL documentation on http://php.net/curl
Try this
// Complete url with paramters
$url = "http://www.google.com/trends/topcharts/trendingchart?ajax=1&cid=actors&geo=US&date=201310";
// Init session
$ch = curl_init();
// Set options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Set option to return the result instead of echoing it
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// Execute session
$data = curl_exec($ch);
// Close session
curl_close($ch);
// Dump json decoded result
var_dump(json_decode($data, true));
I was trying to get hands on cURL and stuff like that, I just tried a simple and basic code, but it wont work for me.
Here is the code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://euw.api.pvp.net/api/lol/euw/v1.4/summoner/by-name/deathsquiid?api_key=apikeyhere');
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
This won't get nothing back, cURL is enabled obviously..
You should store the result of curl_exec on a variable like this:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://euw.api.pvp.net/api/lol/euw/v1.4/summoner/by-name/deathsquiid? api_key=apikeyhere');
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
This is returning a JSON string with an access denied message, by the looks of the URL it seems that the API key is missing:api_key=apikeyhere
I am using the following code to get information about a repo using the Github API.
I am using cURL, but I'm not sure how to just get the name of the repository. So, how can I get just one string from the response and echo that without echoing the complete response? I tried doing $data['name'] but that didn't work.
code:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Content-type: application/json');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.github.com/repos/ruby/ruby');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;
This request returns JSON, so just use json_decode.
$jsonStr = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$json = json_decode($jsonStr, true);
var_dump($json['name']);
var_dump($json['full_name']);
It should be trivial from here to get the elements you're interested in.
