Ok I understood how to do this by including the key in the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER array !

But now… I’m getting content to appear but I don-t know how to parse it using Simple_xml ? Any idea

thanks for this tutorial. I’m trying to get a partners’ XML feed with through REST.

He just gave me the URL and a key number.
He told me to put the key number straight in an HTTP header.

I don’t understand what he means. Does anybody know where I shouldput this key number in the code given above ?

Many thanks

Base on this example, if i would like to post a registration to REST API to create a new a/c, How do i send POST request? How do i set my form to $requestBody in this case?

Hi, Thanks for the great article. I’m new to this REST. Perhaps you may giving some example on request by PUT and POST. TQ very much for sharing.

In a tutorial you need to explain everything first. What is curl? What is $data? It is not clear and much more detailed fleshing out should be added.

Snippets are never good in a tutorial, b/c people need full working code to figure out what’s going on. People get hung up at different spots, so the only way to let people chew on stuff is to post a full sample.

I’m currently working on making a Content Management System(CMS), and I very much appreciate this! The reason I ever even looked at an API, is because when I allow users of the CMS to check for updates – each CMS installed generates it’s own “API key” (not actually an API key, more or less used as an identification key) – and when they go to check for updates, it makes sure the key is valid, and if it’s not – I print it back to the user that their key is invalid. I do this as a way to stop people from abusing the CMS; it also limits them to 1-10 checks per day (depending on if the administrator is checking it, or a sub-administrator). Does this sound like a good practice, or no?
