im using a email client that i build to update jira tasks. i have managed to change the assignee and the summary through it. but i cannot seems to find a way to update the status. following is the code i used.
$resolution->id="4";
$update->transitions= array($resolution);
$queryIssue = new Jira($config);
$queryIssue->updateTransition($query,$update);
the class:
public function updateTransition($issueKey,$json){
$this->request->openConnect('https://'.$this->host.'/rest/api/latest/issue/REC-143/transitions?', 'POST', $json);
$this->request->execute();
}
this gives me an error saying
Missing 'transition' identifier
what am i doing wrong here.please let me know.
the way i input the json was incorrect.it should be,
$resolution->transition->id ="4";
$queryIssue->updateTransition('11205',$resolution);
like this. and by the way i used this library to do all my needs with jira. the things which are not included here, i had to implement by my self. which is easy if you know the api urls.take a look at the rest api documentation for the suitable apis you may require.

I am using a rest api to store/retrieve my data which is stored in a postgres database. The api is not laravel, its an external service!
Now i want to create a website with laravel (framework version 7.3.0) and i'm stuck on how to implement the api calls correctly.
For example: i want to have a custom user provider with which users can log-in on the website. But the validation of the provided credentials is done by the api not by laravel.
How do i do that?
Just make a Registration controller and a Login Controller by "php artisan make:controller ControllerName" and write Authentication logics there.
In previous versions of Laravel you had a command like "php artisan make:auth" that will make everything needed to do these operations. But in Laravel 7.0 you need to install a package called laravel/ui.
Run "composer required laravel/ui" to install that package
Then run "php artisan ui bootstrap --auth"
and now, you are able to run "php artisan make:auth"
This command will make whole Registration (Signup) and Login system for you.
and in orer to work with REST, you may need to know REST (Http) verbs. Learn about GET, POST, PUT, PATH, DELETE requests and how to make those request with PHP and Laravel collection methods. Learn about JSON parsing, encoding, and decoding. Then you can work with REST easily. and work without any template codes from other packages.
Thank you so much. I hope this answer give you some new information/thought. Thanks again.
Edit:
This might not be the best way. But this is what I did at that time. I tried curl and guzzle to build the request with session cookie and everything in the header to make it look like a request from a web browser. Couldn't make it work.
I used the web socket's channel id for the browser I want the changes to happen and concatenated it with the other things, then encrypted it with encrypt($string). After that, I used the encrypted string to generate a QR code.
Mobile app (which was already logged in as an authenticated used) scanned it and made a post request with that QR string and other data. Passport took care of the authentication part of this request. After decrypting the QR string I had the web socket's channel id.
Then I broadcasted in that channel with proper event and data. Caught that broadcast in the browser and reloaded that page with JavaScript.
/*... processing other data ...*/
$broadcastService = new BroadcastService();
$broadcastService->trigger($channelId, $eventName, encrypt($$data));
/*... returned response to the mobile app...*/
My BroadcastService :
namespace App\Services;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use Pusher\Pusher;
use Pusher\PusherException;
class BroadcastService {
public $broadcast = null;
public function __construct() {
$config = config('broadcasting.connections.pusher');
try {
$this->broadcast = new Pusher($config['key'], $config['secret'], $config['app_id'], $config['options']);
} catch (PusherException $e) {
Log::info($e->getMessage());
}
}
public function trigger($channel, $event, $data) {
$this->broadcast->trigger($channel, $event, $data);
}
}
In my view :
<script src="{{asset('assets/js/pusher.js')}}"></script>
<script src="{{asset('assets/js/app.js')}}" ></script>
<script>
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cookie;
$channel = 'Channel id';
?>
Echo.channel('{{$channel}}')
.listen('.myEvent' , data => {
// processing data
window.location.reload();
});
</script>
I used Laravel Echo for this.
Again this is not the best way to do it. This is something that just worked for me for that particular feature.
There may be a lot of better ways to do it. If someone knows a better approach, please let me know.
As of my understanding, you are want to implement user creation and authentication over REST. And then retrieve data from the database. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And I'm guessing you already know how to communicate over API using token. You are just stuck with how to implement it with laravel.
You can use Laravel Passport for the authentication part. It has really good documentation.
Also, make use of this medium article. It will help you to go over the step by step process.
I have consistent difficulty using any client service method that is not explicitly exampled somewhere. Despite following the docs and even reading the sourcecode, The class or method names I come up with following the scheme are never right.
The documentation at Packagist (see 'Making Requests") says the client library classes are autogenerated from the Google endpoints, which agrees with the description in the library's docs on Github that say the pattern for accessing methods should be "$service->resource->method(args)".
So why the following?
// works:
// I get a countable object of active classrooms owner by the specified id
$response = $this->ClassroomService->courses->listCourses([
'courseStates' => 'ACTIVE',
'teacherId' => 'me']);
// works:
// I get an instance of the single classroom's object containing lots of meta data
$response = $this->ClassroomService->courses->get( $id );
// does not work:
// 500 error, obj has no such method
$response = $this->ClassroomService->topics->listCoursesTopics( $id );
According to the API Explorer all three should be fine.
What am I missing about using client service objects?
Edit
Ultimately I determined the resource in my example to be 'courses_topics'; the method was correct per the docs. Thanks for the idea #ebram.
The question remains how the methods are named though. courseWork is my next challenge and it does not fit the the naming pattern of topics.
There is no topics member of ClassroomService.
The member is named courses_topics.
This is documented in the "Properties summary" at the bottom of the Classroom documentation.
Your code should look like this:
$response = $this->ClassroomService->courses_topics->listCoursesTopics( $id );
The documentation for Google_Service_Classroom_CoursesTopics_Resource does incorrectly give sample code where the member is named ->topics.
Given that API documentation is generated from source, but sample code is (generally) written by hand, I'll assume the API documentation is correct and the sample code is incorrect. I'd file a documentation-bug with Google.
Update:
I looked at the PHP source code for Google_Service_Classroom in GitHub and verified that the property is named courses_topics instead of topics, so in conclusion: the sample code is wrong.
What's also interesting is the resource-type in the actual source-code is Google_Service_Classroom_Resource_CoursesTopics but the documentation refers to it as Google_Service_Classroom_CoursesTopics_Resource - so that documentation is definitely wrong.
This is making me crazy. I've been trying out all sorts of things but I just can't figure this out. LinkedIn's documentation is horrible...
All I need to do is simple: I need to search for a company (using a keyword) and retrieve the company id. I have issues with setting up the OAuth request and with making the request. Any advice on how to do this, especially without installing any PHP libraries?
FYI, my code: I got the OAuth.php from here.
require_once 'OAuth.php';
$base_url = 'http://api.linkedin.com/v1/company-search';
$consumer = new OAuthConsumer('mykey', 'mysecret');
$token = new OAuthToken('tokenkey', 'tokensecret');
$parameters = array (keyword => 'Apple');
$request = OAuthRequest::from_consumer_and_token($consumer, $token, "GET", $base_url, $parameters);
print_r($request);
Thanks
You're using a good OAuth library that I do recommend, but it seems to me you're missing on the Linkedin Library, or at least you haven't included the full code.
In any case, try using the simple-linkedinphp library, which uses your oauth library above. I had to use a few libraries in the past, and this is one of the best, particuarly if you're going to use Faceted search. Make sure you also check the quick start guide, it will help you a lot, as well as the class reference. The company search API function could be found here.
You could always use the raw() function for any custom calls not supported by the above function. I had to use that for some calls.
I would like to create a web service in PHP which can be consumed by different consumers (Web page, Android device, iOS device).
I come from a Microsoft background so am confortable in how I would do it in C# etc. Ideally I would like to be able to provide a REST service which can send JSON.
Can you let me know how I can achieve this in PHP?
Thanks

I developed a class that is the PHP native SoapServer class' REST equivalent.
You just include the RestServer.php file and then use it as follows.
class Hello
{
public static function sayHello($name)
{
return "Hello, " . $name;
}
}
$rest = new RestServer(Hello);
$rest->handle();
Then you can make calls from another language like this:
http://myserver.com/path/to/api?method=sayHello&name=World
(Note that it doesn't matter what order the params are provided in the query string. Also, the param key names as well as the method name are case-insensitive.)
Get it here.
I would suggest you go for Yii it is worth of learning. You can easily establish it in this.
Web Service. Yii provides CWebService and CWebServiceAction to simplify the work of implementing Web service in a Web application. Web service relies on SOAP as its foundation layer of the communication protocol stack.
Easiest way in PHP is to use GET/POST as data-in and echo as data-out.
Here's a sample:
<?php if(empty($_GET['method'])) die('no method specified');
switch($_GET['method']){
case 'add': {
if(empty($_GET['a']) || empty($_GET['b'])) die("Please provide two numbers. ");
if(!is_numeric($_GET['a']) || !is_numeric($_GET['b'])) die("Those aren't numbers, please provide numbers. ");
die(''.($_GET['a']+$_GET['b']));
break;
}
}
Save this as test.php and go to http://localhost/test.php?method=add&a=2&b=3 (or wherever your webserver is) and it should say 5.
PHP does have native support for a SOAP server ( The SoapServer class manual shows it) and I've found it pretty simple to use.
Creating a REST style API is pretty easy if you use a framework. I don't want to get into a debate about which framework is better but CakePHP also supports output as XML and I'm pretty sure others will as well.
If you're coming from a Microsoft background just be careful about thinking about "datasets". They are a very specific Microsoft thing and have been a curse of mine in the past. It's probably not going to be an issue for you, but you may want to just see the differences between Microsoft and open implementations.
And of course PHP has a native json_encode() function.
You can check out this nice RESTful server written for Codeigniter, RESTful server.
It does support XML, JSON, etc. responses, so I think this is your library.
There is even a nice tutorial for this on the Tutsplus network -
Working with RESTful Services in CodeIgniter
You can also try PHP REST Data Services https://github.com/chaturadilan/PHP-Data-Services
You can use any existing PHP framework like CodeIgniter or Symfony or CakePHP to build the webservices.
You can also use plain PHP like disscussed in this example
I wish to call a web service, using SOAP, from PHP (using the included SOAP extension). The web service in question is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx
Now the Currency type is an enum, and I cannot figure out how to work with these in PHP in order to be able to call the 'ConversionRate' function. I know I have to do something with a class map, but I can only find limited and unhelpful information on this topic. Can anyone help? A working example maybe?
Thanks!!!!
The enum here only defines legitimate values, that is your data type is actually a string of one of those values.
Here's some psuedo-code to get you on your way:
$from_currency = "AFA";
$to_current = "ALL";
$soap_handler->ConversionRate($from_currency, $to_currency);
$exchange_rate = $soap_handler->response();
