Hubstaff - retrieve data with php cURL - php

Question

I'm trying to connect with hubstaff api, has anyone ever tried it? I'm a newbie in php-cURL, how do you convert this to PHP Curl?
curl -H "App-Token: BMyQnju-4tknuBQMsN0ujr6NWF5ohQaP9de8AWMJXik" -H "Auth-Token: X-vfv2c7jf_0NKoHLbX1t4yftK-TI-jZ4d7roNegw24" "http://api.hubstaff.com/v1/users"
It also would not show any result of I do this:
// Standard data
$data['app_token'] = $this->app_token;
// Debugging output
$this->debug = array();
$this->debug['HTTP Method'] = $http_method;
// Create a cURL handle
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'App-Token: ' . $this->app_token,
'Content-Type: application/xml'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
// Send data
if (!empty($data)) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
// Debugging output
$this->debug['Posted Data'] = $data;
}
// Execute cURL request
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch);
// Save CURL debugging info
$this->debug['Last Response'] = $curl_response;
$this->debug['Curl Info'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
// Close cURL handle
curl_close($ch);
// Parse response
$response =$curl_response;// $this->parseAsciiResponse($curl_response);
// Return parsed response
return $response;
Im just trying to get my Auth-Token
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#Michal I have solved my own problem and created this simple class to help anyone else in connecting with hubstaff fast. feel free for any suggestions and optimizations
class HubstaffApi {
private $app_token = '';
private $auth_token = '';
private $debug = [];
public function __construct($app_token, $auth_token) {
$this->app_token = $app_token;
$this->auth_token = $auth_token;
}
private function sendRequest($api_method, $http_method = 'GET', $data = null) {
// Standard data
$data['app_token'] = $this->app_token;
$request_url = "https://api.hubstaff.com/v1/";
// Debugging output
$this->debug = array();
$this->debug['Request URL'] = $request_url . $api_method;
// Create a cURL handle
$ch = curl_init();
// Set the request
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url . $api_method);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'App-Token: ' . $this->app_token,
'Auth-Token: ' . $this->auth_token
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $http_method);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
// Send data
if (!empty($data)) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
// Debugging output
$this->debug['Posted Data'] = $data;
}
// Execute cURL request
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch);
// Save CURL debugging info
$this->debug['Last Response'] = $curl_response;
$this->debug['Curl Info'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
// Close cURL handle
curl_close($ch);
// Parse response
$response = $curl_response;
// Return parsed response
return $response;
}
public function users(array $parameters = array()) {
return $this->sendRequest('users', 'GET', $parameters);
}
public function activities(array $parameters = array()) {
return $this->sendRequest('activities', 'GET', $parameters);
}
public function screenshots(array $parameters = array()) {
return $this->sendRequest('screenshots', 'GET', $parameters);
}
}
You can simply use this by:
$Hubstaff = new HubstaffApi(
YOUR_APP_TOKEN,
YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN); //simply get auth token in developer.hubstaff 's generator, it doesn't expire anyway.
$response = $Hubstaff->activities([
"start_time" => "2015-09-10T00:00:00+08:00:00",
"stop_time" => "2015-09-10T24:00:00+08:00:00",
"users" => YOUR_HUBSTAFF_ID
]);
echo $response;
