Does the Marketo REST API asset Token work? - php

Question

I am following this part of the documentation: http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/assets/tokens/ and I always get the following an error: Fields cannot be empty.
Have anyone make it worked?
public function create_token($folder_id,$name,$content,$folder_type = 'Program')
{
$folder_id = intval($folder_id);
$endpoint = 'rest/asset/v1/folder/'.$folder_id.'/tokens';
$body = new stdClass();
$body->folderType = $folder_type;
$body->name = $name;
$body->type = 'rich text';
$body->value = $content;
$body_encoded = json_encode($body);
echo $url = $this->url . $endpoint . ".json?access_token=" . self::$token;
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body_encoded);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($response);
}
The reason for the Content-Type header was a suggestion from Marketo: https://www.screencast.com/t/CL5ZtPo1o
This is the answer from the request I keep getting:
object(stdClass)#1934 (4) {
["success"]=>
bool(false)
["warnings"]=>
array(0) {
}
["errors"]=>
array(4) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#1935 (2) {
["message"]=>
string(20) "name cannot be null."
["code"]=>
string(3) "701"
}
[1]=>
object(stdClass)#1936 (2) {
["message"]=>
string(20) "type cannot be null."
["code"]=>
string(3) "701"
}
[2]=>
object(stdClass)#1937 (2) {
["message"]=>
string(101) "Token type is either null, blank or invalid. Please refer to the documentation for valid token types."
["code"]=>
string(3) "701"
}
[3]=>
object(stdClass)#1938 (2) {
["message"]=>
string(21) "value cannot be null."
["code"]=>
string(3) "701"
}
}
["requestId"]=>

}

You don't have to post token fields as JSON object: json_encode($body)
Fields are passed as request parameters or as a regular form
This request with works well for me:
POST https://123-FOO-456.mktorest.com/rest/asset/v1/folder/1039/tokens.json?value=TestTokenValue&folderType=Program&name=TestToken&type=text
In this case, you also don't have to specify content type Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded
I'm not PHP dev, but you can look here for examples how to post form data - PHP + curl, HTTP POST sample code?
