We have a new and more feature complete PHP example available on your new API quick guide here.
In this example, you will need the url of the site you're using and a public api key which can be generated by an admin of that site.
Basic example #1:
<?php
// --------------------
// Config
// --------------------
define('REC_API_URL', 'your site url'); // e.g. https://www.site.com/
define('REC_API_KEY', 'public api key');
define('REC_API_DEFAULT_LIMIT', 100); // default limit, feel free to change
define('REC_API_DEFAULT_FIELDS', '*'); // default to return all fields, set to blank for faster method but just returns basic fields
// --------------------
// Functions
// --------------------
/**
* Helper to make simple API requests to REC
*
* @param string $resourceName e.g. products or categories
* @param int|null $id optional specific resource id e.g. the product id
* @param array $options optional values to pass to the API
*
* @return array
*
* @throws Exception if API request failed
*/
function requestFromREC($resourceName, $id=null, $options=[])
{
// build url params
$options = http_build_query(array_merge([
'api_key' => REC_API_KEY,
'limit' => REC_API_DEFAULT_LIMIT,
'fields' => REC_API_DEFAULT_FIELDS,
], $options));
// make request
$resource = $resourceName . (! is_null($id) ? '/' . $id : '');
$response = @file_get_contents(REC_API_URL . 'api/v1/' . $resource . '.json?' . $options);
if ($response === FALSE) {
throw new Exception('Failed to reach API, please check your REC_API_URL & REC_API_KEY are set correctly');
}
// decode response
return json_decode($response);
}
// --------------------
// Example uses
// --------------------
// list 100 products
$products = requestFromREC('products');
var_dump($products);
// or request details on just product id=32
$product = requestFromREC('products', 32);
var_dump($product);For more details, please read our full docs on: http://support.reallyeasycart.co.uk/support/solutions/folders/269622
