I'm asking if it's possible to retrieve users PayPal history by using some PHP SDK. I found in Google and didn't find any helpful information about this, can any give me some starting point? I don't know if using REST API I can get this done or I need another SDK like SDK Core and examples are not clear for me
You can search transactions using the TransactionSearch API which is part of the Merchant SDK. There's an example on how to do it:
$transactionSearchRequest = new TransactionSearchRequestType();
$transactionSearchRequest->StartDate = $_REQUEST['startDate'];
$transactionSearchRequest->EndDate = $_REQUEST['endDate'];
$transactionSearchRequest->TransactionID = $_REQUEST['transactionID'];
$tranSearchReq = new TransactionSearchReq();
$tranSearchReq->TransactionSearchRequest = $transactionSearchRequest;
/*
* ## Creating service wrapper object
Creating service wrapper object to make API call and loading
Configuration::getAcctAndConfig() returns array that contains credential and config parameters
*/
$paypalService = new PayPalAPIInterfaceServiceService(Configuration::getAcctAndConfig());
try {
/* wrap API method calls on the service object with a try catch */
$transactionSearchResponse = $paypalService->TransactionSearch($tranSearchReq);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
include_once("../Error.php");
exit;
}
if(isset($transactionSearchResponse)) {
echo "<table>";
echo "<tr><td>Ack :</td><td><div id='Ack'>$transactionSearchResponse->Ack</div> </td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($transactionSearchResponse);
echo "</pre>";
}
Take a look at the API reference for limitations and other variables.

I have been trying to retrieve list of SendGrid transactional templates using API. I'm using correct API key and getting an empty array while there are about 5 transactional templates existing in my SendGrid account. Here is the response:
{
"templates": []
}
Any guesses what could be wrong?
Any guesses what could be wrong?
Yep, their documentation could be!
I also stuck with the problem and finally managed to solve it once I opened the devtools and saw how they request their own API from the UI. Long story short - one has to pass additional generations=dynamic query parameter. Here is the C# code I use:
var client = new SendGridClient("key");
var response = await client.RequestAsync(
SendGridClient.Method.GET,
urlPath: "/templates",
queryParams: "{\"generations\": \"dynamic\"}");
Using Api 7.3.0 PHP
require("../../sendgrid-php.php");
$apiKey = getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY');
$sg = new \SendGrid($apiKey);
#Comma-delimited list specifying which generations of templates to return. Options are legacy, dynamic or legacy,dynamic
$query_params = json_decode('{"generations": "legacy,dynamic"}');
try {
#$response = $sg->client->templates()->get();
$response = $sg->client->templates()->get(null, $query_params);
echo $response->body();
exit;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '{"error":"Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage().'"}';
}
I had the same problem using the python wrapper provided by Sendgrid.
My code was similar to this:
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get({'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
This returned an empty array.
To fix you have to name the param or to pass None before the dict:
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get(None, {'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
or
response = SendGridAPIClient(<your api key>).client.templates.get(query_params={'generations': 'legacy,dynamic'})
I am trying to create an REST API for creating and retrieving files in my database. The tutorial I was following uses the following method to retrive a single file:
$app->get('/file/:file_id', 'authenticate', function($file_id) {
global $user_id;
$response = array();
$db = new DbHandler();
// fetch file
$result = $db->getFile($file_id, $user_id);
if ($result != NULL) {
$response["error"] = false;
$response["id"] = $result["id"];
$response["file"] = $result["fileLocation"];
$response["status"] = $result["status"];
$response["createdAt"] = $result["created_at"];
echoRespnse(200, $response);
} else {
$response["error"] = true;
$response["message"] = "The requested resource doesn't exist";
echoRespnse(404, $response);
}
});
Here they are using the HTTP GET method and are specifying the file ID in the URL, is it OK to do this, safety wise? Would it not be safer to use POST and hide the file ID in the body of the request, or should they not be putting the file ID in a header with the GET request? or is it not something I should be worried about?
In REST post method is used to create a new resource not to get it. Get method is used for fetching the resource and you need to specify the ID to determine particular resource. Passing it via URL is a common practice. You can randomly generate such ID to make it harder to guess.
As Opal said above, the ID is used to identify a resource. If you are unsure have a read of this - http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/the-definitive-guide-to-get-vs-post
I've included yahoo API to read user's yahoo contacts. However it's not fetching any data.
Please have a look at my code:
session_start();
include_once 'config.php'; //This file contains consumer key & all data
require_once ('Yahoo.inc'); //This is a standard Yahoo file, just copied it
$session = YahooSession::requireSession($consumer_key,$consumer_secret,$app_id);
if (is_object($session))
{
$user = $session->getSessionedUser(); //This is NOT NULL
$profile = $user->getProfile(); //This is NULL
$name = $profile->givenNme;
$guid = $profile->guid;
$contacts=$user->getContacts()->contacts; //This is NULL
if($contacts==NULL){
echo "No contacts";
}
}
Somehow getProfile() & getContacts() are not working at all, anyone can help spot the mistake?
Please check this thread: yahoo oauth $user->getProfile(); returns null. It solves the problem. You need to switch over to the new API. Otherwise, you may experience this kind of problems.
I am trying to build a server-to-server auth flow using the Facebook PHP SDK and no Javascript, as outlined here. So far, I have successfully created a LoginUrl that lets the User sign in with Facebook, then redirect back to my App and check the state parameter for CSFR protection.
My Problem is, that I can't seem to get the API-call working that should swap my Auth Code for an access token. I pillaged every similar problem anyone else that Google was able to find had encountered for possible solutions.
Yet the end result was always the same: no access token, no error message that I could evaluate.
Researching the topic yielded the following advice, which I tested:
The URL specified in the App Settings must be a parent folder of $appUrl.
use curl to make the request instead of the SDK function api()
I've been at this for 2 days straight now and really could use some help.
<?php
require '../inc/php-sdk/src/facebook.php';
// Setting some config vars
$appId = 'MY_APP_ID';
$secret = 'MY_APP_SECRET';
$appUrl = 'https://MY_DOMAIN/appFolder';
$fbconfig = array('appId'=>$appId, 'secret'=>$secret);
$facebook = new Facebook($fbconfig);
// Log User in with Facebook and come back with Auth Code if not yet done
if(!(isset($_SESSION['login']))){
$_SESSION['login']=1;
header('Location: '.$facebook->getLoginUrl());
}
// process Callback from Facebook User Login
if($_SESSION['login']===1) {
/* CSFR Protection: getLoginUrl() generates a state string and stores it
in "$_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state']". This checks if it matches the state
obtained via $_GET['state']*/
if (isset($_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state'])&&isset($_GET['state'])){
// Good Case
if ($_SESSION['fb_'.$fbconfig['appId'].'_state']===$_GET['state']) {
$_SESSION['login']=2;
}
else {
unset($_SESSION['login']);
echo 'You may be a victim of CSFR Attacks. Try logging in again.';
}
}
}
// State check O.K., swap Code for Token now
if($_SESSION['login']===2) {
$path = '/oauth/access_token';
$api_params = array (
'client_id'=>$appId,
'redirect_uri'=>$appUrl,
'client_secret'=>$secret,
'code'=>$_GET['code']
);
$access_token = $facebook->api($path, 'GET', $api_params);
var_dump($access_token);
}
The easiest way I found to do this is to extend the Facebook class and expose the protected getAccessTokenFromCode() method:
<?php
class MyFacebook extends Facebook {
/** If you simply want to get the token, use this method */
public function getAccessTokenFromCode($code, $redirectUri = null)
{
return parent::getAccessTokenFromCode($code, $redirectUri);
}
/** If you would like to get and set (and extend), use this method instead */
public function setAccessTokenFromCode($code)
{
$token = parent::getAccessTokenFromCode($code);
if (empty($token)) {
return false;
}
$this->setAccessToken($token);
if (!$this->setExtendedAccessToken()) {
return false;
}
return $this->getAccessToken();
}
}
I also included a variation on the convenience method I use to set the access token, since I don't actually need a public "get" method in my own code.
I use Webtechnick Facebook plugin for cakephp 1.3 website. I implemented it about a year ago. And it worked fine until now. But today I found out that when I try to login(as a new user) it does not save facebook user data, because $this->Connect->user() (which result is taken from $this->FB->api('/me'), /plugins/facebook/controller/components/connect.php, line 194) returns nothing. I tried also, this facebook plugin on another cakephp 2.0 website, but the same thing was there.
I think, that there was some change in facebook api, because I did not absolutely make any change on the website, which could bring to that result.
this is user function in connect.php component
function user($field = null){
if(isset($this->uid)){
$this->uid = $this->uid;
if($this->Controller->Session->read('FB.Me') == null){
$this->Controller->Session->write('FB.Me', $this->FB->api('/me'));
}
$this->me = $this->Controller->Session->read('FB.Me');
}
else {
$this->Controller->Session->delete('FB');
}
if(!$this->me){
return null;
}
if($field){
$retval = Set::extract("/$field", $this->me);
return empty($retval) ? null : $retval[0];
}
return $this->me;
}
and my beforeFacebookSave() function in app_controller
public function beforeFacebookSave() {
$fbUser = $this->Connect->user ();
//debug($fbUser); // outputs nothing
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['email'] = $fbUser ['email'];
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['first_name'] = $fbUser ['first_name'];
$this->Connect->authUser ['User'] ['last_name'] = $fbUser ['last_name'];
return true;
}
Thank you !
There was a certificate change on Facebook that wasn't reflected in the SDK (because it used the old certificate). Since the plugin is based on PHP SDK, you should just fetch the latest version of the repo https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin. The author has pushed the commit to include the new PHP SDK with the new certificate.
https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Facebook-Plugin/tree/master/Vendor
Your error log should have a Facebook Exception due to SSL problems which chokes the API calls causing /me to return empty.
try this, it work for me
$infos = $facebook->api('/me?fields=id,first_name,last_name,picture,email');
