Hi am new to WP development, I would like to add request headers to WordPress Rest API calls but don't know how, can anyone help me in this?
I tried following code but no luck
$args = array(
'headers' => array(
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( Fk-Affiliate-Id . ':' . YOUR_PASSWORD )
)
);
$api_url = 'https://affiliate.com/api/';
global $affiliate;
$response = wp_remote_request( add_query_arg( array(
'Affiliate-Id' => $affiliate['aff-id'],
'Affiliate-Token' => $affiliate['aff-token']
), $api_url ) , array( 'timeout' => 10));
You can send the headers you need by including those in request options - second argument of wp_remote_request function($args in my example)
$args = [
'method' => 'GET',
'timeout' => 10,
'headers' => array() //add headers here
];
wp_remote_request('http://test.com', $args);

I'm using wordpress and i want to integrate an SMS API into my wordpress site. Can anyone help in knowing where (in which file) to write the code for integration and also the code to integrate SMS API.
My SMS API Url is :
http://www.elitbuzzsms.com/app/smsapi/index.php?key=KEY&campaign=****&routeid=**&type=text&contacts=< NUMBER >&senderid=SMSMSG&msg=< Message Content >
I want to integrate above API in my wordpress theme so that i can send sms based on mobile number and add required message.
In wordpress you can use wp_remote_get and wp_remote_post
get request example
$url = 'http://www.elitbuzzsms.com/app/smsapi/index.php?key=KEY&campaign=****&routeid=**&type=text&contacts=< NUMBER >&senderid=SMSMSG&msg=< Message Content >';
$response = wp_remote_get( $url );
if( is_array($response) ) {
$header = $response['headers']; // array of http header lines
$body = $response['body']; // use the content
}
post request example
$response = wp_remote_post( $url, array(
'method' => 'POST',
'timeout' => 45,
'redirection' => 5,
'httpversion' => '1.0',
'blocking' => true,
'headers' => array(),
'body' => array( 'username' => 'bob', 'password' => '1234xyz' ),
'cookies' => array()
)
);
if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
$error_message = $response->get_error_message();
echo "Something went wrong: $error_message";
} else {
echo 'Response:<pre>';
print_r( $response );
echo '</pre>';
}
Where did I make a mistake? My PHP-script:
<?php
// Set username and password
$lgname = "someUsername";
$lgpassword = "somePassword";
// First login to receive 1) token, 2) sessionid and 3) cookieprefix
$parameters = array('action' => 'login', 'lgname' => "$lgname", 'lgpassword' => "$lgpassword", 'format' => 'json');
options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($parameters)
),
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php", false, $context);
// Echo out the answer from MediaWiki-API
echo "$result";
// Put the needed parts of the answer into variables and echo them out
$array = json_decode($result,true);
$token = $array["login"]["token"];
$sessionid = $array["login"]["sessionid"];
$cookieprefix = $array["login"]["cookieprefix"];
echo "</BR>token: $token, sessionid: $sessionid, cookieprefix: $cookieprefix</BR>";
// Second login to 1) post token and 2) send sessionID within the header
$parameters = array('action' => 'login', 'lgname' => "$lgname", 'lgpassword' => "$lgpassword", 'lgtoken' => "$token", 'format' => 'json');
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" .
"Cookie: " . $cookieprefix . "_session = $sessionid\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($parameters)
),
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php", false, $context);
// Echo out result
echo "$result";
?>
What I get as an answer to my second POST-request is (exactly the same as to my first POST-request) that I need a token (even though I posted the token and even the sessionID in my second POST-request):
{"login": {
"result":"NeedToken",
"token":"82b3f2e1f1aa702ca6ceae473bb16bde",
"cookieprefix":"dewiki",
"sessionid":"531143bd7425722bf1be88e520dea6d5"}
}
The mistake is in using file_get_contents() in the first place. Use a PHP library for the MediaWiki web API, instead.
If you really want to do things yourself, ask a token from meta=tokens.
I want to update a video using google api v3 and i get the error 400 Bad Request.
This is my code.
$url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&videoId='.$_GET['videoId'].'&access_token='.Session::get('access_token');
$params = array(
"id"=> $_GET['videoId'],
"kind"=> "youtube#video",
'snippet' => array(
"title"=> "I'm being changed.",
"categoryId"=> "10",
"tags"=> array(
"humanities",
"Harpham",
"BYU"
),
'description' => 'test!'
)
);
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'PUT',
'content' => http_build_query($params),
),
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = json_decode(file_get_contents($url, false, $context));
I think since you don't set all parameters inside snippet, that's giving an error. What you can do is, first getting that video with videos->list, then updating the field you are interested in and sending back the update request with the whole object back.
Here's an example also utilizing php client library: https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/blob/master/php/update_video.php

I'm trying to use the linkedin invitation api to allow users to conncect on linkedin from my application using email-addresses. I am able to find people, access the api and so on. I can't get the invites to work though. I am using php (Laravel).
I based myself on the example from the linkedin documentation ( Linkedin Invite API ). I send my data in a post using JSON (that contains the same info as their example).
I ask permission to use w_messages, the post works and my variables contain the correct information. I get a Internal Server error as a result.
$data = array(
"recipients" => array(
"values" => array(
"person" => array(
"_path" => "/people/email=".$email,
"first-name" => $firstname,
"last-name" => $lastname
)
)
),
"subject" => "Bla",
"body"=> "BlaBLa",
"item-content" => array(
"invitation-request" => array(
"connect-type" => "friend"
)
)
);
$dataString = json_encode($data);
$opts = array('http' =>
array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => "Content-type: application/json\r\n".
"Connection: close\r\n" .
"Content-length: " . strlen($dataString) . "\r\n",
'content' => $dataString
)
);
$params = array('oauth2_access_token' => Session::get('access_token'),
'format' => 'json'
);
$url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/mailbox".'?' . http_build_query($params);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
Log::info($result);
return Response::json(array("invite" => "sent"));
I assume I'm doing something wrong but don't really know where to look.
Looks like you doing this manually, have you tried using a tried & tested third party library like simple-linkedinphp - A PHP-based wrapper for the LinkedIn API.
https://code.google.com/p/simple-linkedinphp/wiki/Reference
Usage:
// Connect
$API_CONFIG = array(
'appKey' => '<your application key here>',
'appSecret' => '<your application secret here>',
'callbackUrl' => NULL
);
$linkedin = new LinkedIn($API_CONFIG);
// Send Invite
$linkedin->invite($method, $recipient, $subject, $body, $type = 'friend');

Im creating a widget for a Wordpress site and i am trying to get the twitter following count, I can get the followers count which is taken from http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/displaying-the-total-number-of-twitter-followers-as-text-on-wordpress/. Any help would be great.
thanks Pierce
Current code in functions.php:
// Twitter
function getTwitterFollowers($screenName = 'hellowWorld')
{
// some variables
$consumerKey = 'hidden';
$consumerSecret = 'hidden';
$token = get_option('cfTwitterToken');
// get follower count from cache
$numberOfFollowers = get_transient('cfTwitterFollowers');
// cache version does not exist or expired
if (false === $numberOfFollowers) {
// getting new auth bearer only if we don't have one
if(!$token) {
// preparing credentials
$credentials = $consumerKey . ':' . $consumerSecret;
$toSend = base64_encode($credentials);
// http post arguments
$args = array(
'method' => 'POST',
'httpversion' => '1.1',
'blocking' => true,
'headers' => array(
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . $toSend,
'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'
),
'body' => array( 'grant_type' => 'client_credentials' )
);
add_filter('https_ssl_verify', '__return_false');
$response = wp_remote_post('https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token', $args);
$keys = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($response));
if($keys) {
// saving token to wp_options table
update_option('cfTwitterToken', $keys->access_token);
$token = $keys->access_token;
}
}
// we have bearer token wether we obtained it from API or from options
$args = array(
'httpversion' => '1.1',
'blocking' => true,
'headers' => array(
'Authorization' => "Bearer $token"
)
);
add_filter('https_ssl_verify', '__return_false');
$api_url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=$screenName";
$response = wp_remote_get($api_url, $args);
if (!is_wp_error($response)) {
$followers = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($response));
$numberOfFollowers = $followers->followers_count;
} else {
// get old value and break
$numberOfFollowers = get_option('cfNumberOfFollowers');
// uncomment below to debug
//die($response->get_error_message());
}
// cache for an hour
set_transient('cfTwitterFollowers', $numberOfFollowers, 1*60*60);
update_option('cfNumberOfFollowers', $numberOfFollowers);
}
return $numberOfFollowers;
}
It was pretty simple if I just read the documentation anyway...
Instead of followers_count i replaced it with friends_count as outlined in the API 1.1 documentation. :)
