I am currently working in codeigniter and I am new to this.
I was wondering how to retrieve the JSON values using API call .
Can anyone suggest me where should I start.
Many Thanks in advance
Pass your array of row to json_encode();example for method of controller is below
public function getUserList() {
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$query = $this->db->get('mytable');
if(count($query) > 0) {
$message = array('status' => 'true' , 'message' => 'Record get successfully' , 'data' => $return );
}else{
$message = array('status' => 'false' , 'message' => 'Record not found.' );
}
echo json_encode($message);
}
Codeigniter does not have an inbuilt HTTP method so you need to use other things in php to achieve this.
There are 2 ways, you can use cURL, but honestly... it's convoluted... but read this: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php
Another method is using stream_context_create() http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php
I strongly suggest using this 2nd one as its much easier to work with (in context with curl..
Much of how you setup your request depends on the API you are referencing with and the kind of requests it allows: GET, POST ... and what kind of header information it requires you to send over as well do they require oAuth header?
There is no 1 bunch of code fits all, I had to create a full custom library to integrate codeigniter into Magento, it took many hours.

I do not understand what happens on an API test (laravel 8).
This call (a very simple put) returns a response 200 , using postman.
The same test using phpunit, returns 201 :
public function testPutOrganizationOk()
{
$organization = Organization::factory()->create();
$superAdmin = User::factory()->create([
'organization_id' => $organization->id,
'role_id' => 'SUPERADMIN'
]);
Sanctum::actingAs($superAdmin);
$organizationToModify = [
'name' => 'mon organization moif',
'contact' => 'contact name modif',
'comment' => 'comment comment comment modif',
'ads_max' => 12345,
'state_id' => 'VALIDATED'
];
$response = $this->putJson($this->getUrl() . '/organizations/' . $organization->id, $organizationToModify);
$response->assertStatus(200);
}
The error is :
Tests\Feature\OrganizationTest::testPutOrganizationOk Expected status code 200 but received 201. Failed asserting that 200 is
identical to 201.
I tried a lot of things , without success. I really do not understand what happens. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT :my controller
public function update(StoreOrganizationRequest $request, Organization $organization)
{
$this->authorize('update', Organization::class);
$organizationUpdated = $this->organizationRepository->updateOrganization($organization, $request->only(['name', 'contact', 'comment', 'ads_max', 'state_id']));
return new OrganizationResource($organizationUpdated);
}
EDIT 7 hours later ;-)
When I replace , in the controller, the return of the resource by a return of a simple json, then I have the same behaviour between postman and phpunit . The api call receives a 200 for the update.
Strange, it means that the problem is around the resource ?
Why a different behavior between postman and phpunit ? Who is right : postman or phpunit ?
The http code 201, it mean created success.
see here developer.mozilla.org
and you able to customize the header code by:
return Response::json(new OrganizationResource($organizationUpdated), 200);
201 Status Code says that you just create an Instance, and
200 Status Code says that already existing Instance has been update
The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers to an already existing resource, the enclosed entity SHOULD be considered as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server. If the Request-URI does not point to an existing resource, and that URI is capable of being defined as a new resource by the requesting user agent, the origin server can create the resource with that URI."
I might be wrong but seems like you have created the instance first and trying to modifying it then
Finally, I give up!
I will write the response with a status code like that:
return (new OrganizationResource($organization))->response()->setStatusCode(200);
instead of:
return new OrganizationResource($organization);
it's longer to write, but at least my tests are OK.
Hello there my website is on cpanel and when i make an api call it returns contnet-type html instead of json note that it worked perfectly on my localhost but for some reason it isn't working
Code
public function fetch_companies()
{
//getting company that is linked to coupon
$companies_id = Coupons::where('company_id' , '!=', 'null')->pluck('company_id');
$companies = Companies::whereIn('id' , $companies_id)->get();
return response()->json($companies);
}
i tried setting the headers to json like this
return response()->json($companies)->withHeaders([
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
]);
but it didn't work
here is the link to my website you may test it using postman
http://coupon-app.epizy.com/company/api/fetch
just to put you in the picture the code currently running this page is this
public function fetch_companies()
{
//getting company that is linked to coupon
$companies_id = Coupons::where('company_id' , '!=', 'null')->pluck('company_id');
$companies = Companies::whereIn('id' , $companies_id)->get();
return response()->json($companies)->withHeaders([
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
]);
}
if you need any information please comment and Thanks in Advance
well i found out that the cause of this problem was my server provider as you can find here
https://infinityfree.net/support/javascript-error-using-api-or-mobile-android-app/
it is a security "feature" although it is not a feature that blocks any request that doesn't accept cookies and run javascript
Change Accept & Content-Type to Application/json on the header
I'm working with a legacy Cakephp 2 app and need to create users via AJAX post on another domain.
I've got the whole thing working nicely in my local environment but have been battling with my prod environment.
I am using Postman to form a consistent Post request and setting the various headers as well as setting data values.
Locally:
I send a post request to a URL and var_dump the entire request object into the response. I can see that my data is populated. $this->request->data['email'] returns exactly what I expect.
Production:
I deploy the exact same code and my data array is completely empty.
I have set my Access-Control-Allow headers and I'm not getting any authisation issues. I can interact with the request within the application but I can not access any data. The request is the same request just a different endpoint.
I am running identical versions of PHP and exactly the same codebase.
Can anyone think of any environmental factors that might affect the request data?
This is my controller code in brief:
public function remoteadd() {
var_dump($this->request);
if ($this->request->is('ajax')) {
$this->disableCache();
$this->autoRender = false;
$this->response->type('json');
$this->User->create();
$gen_pass = $this->generatePassword();
$this->request->data['password'] = $gen_pass;
$emailAddr = $this->request->data['email'];
// Check if this email exists
$conditions = array(
'User.email' => $emailAddr,
);
if (!$this->User->hasAny($conditions)) {
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->response->statusCode(200);
$this->response->body(json_encode(
array('status' => 'success', 'message' => 'New account successfully created')
));
}
} else {
$this->response->statusCode(500);
$this->response->body(json_encode(
array('status' => 'error', 'message' => 'Email address already exists')
));
}
$this->response->send();
$this->_stop();
}
}
It seems like the issue related to CORS preflight. Two requests are actually triggered. The first is a preflight which given my controller action is not returning any data as it's not actually a legitimate post request. The second request/response has the data appropriately loaded as expected.
I am using the repo https://github.com/mschwarzmueller/laravel-ng2-vue/tree/03-vue-frontend so I have 100% confidence in the reliability of the code. I can post through the laravel api endpoint through the very simple Vue client, and also through Postman. Through Postman I can retrieve the table data array, but not so in the client app. In POSTMAN:
localhost:8000/api/quotes
works just fine.
IN THE vue 2 js CLIENT APP:
methods: {
onGetQuotes() {
axios.get('http://localhost:8000/api/quotes')
.then(
response => {
this.quotes = (response.data.quotes);
}
)
.catch(
error => console.log(error)
);
}
returns nothing. returning the response to Console.log returns nothing. The Network/XHR tab shows the table data rows, but I am not sure what that means.
I know for sure that this code works for others with their unique api endpoints, which I assume may not use localhost or '127:0.0.1:1080.
Edit: in response to request for more info
public function getQuotes()
{
$quotes = Quote::all();
$response = [$quotes];
return response()->json($response, 200);
}
and the relevant route:
Route::get('/quotes', [
'uses' => 'QuoteController#getQuotes'
]);
Just to confirm: I am using verified github repo code in which the ONLY change is my api endpoint addressas mentioned in the first line of the body of this question. . Note that the Laravel back end is also derived from a related repo in Max's fine tutorial. The running code can be seen at
So I really don't think this is a coding error- but is it a configuration error due to me using local host??
EDIT: It WAS a coding error in the laravel controller as shown below
The reason your code isn't working if because you haven't provided a key for your $quotes in your controller but you're looking for it in your vue file (response.data.quotes).
[$quotes] is essentially [0 => $quotes] so when the json response comes through it be 0: [...] not quotes: [...].
To get this to work you just need to change:
$response = [$quotes];
to:
$response = ['quotes' => $quotes];
Furthermore, just an FYI, you don't need to provide the 200 in response->json() as it's the default and you can just return an array and Laravel automatically return the correct json response e.g.:
public function getQuotes()
{
$quotes = \App\Models\Artist::all();
return compact('quotes'); //<-- This is just another way of writting ['quotes' => $quotes]
}
Obviously, you don't have to if you don't want to.
Hope this helps!
I'm working with Stripe's API and am trying to retrieve data. I have the code below:
$data = \Stripe_Invoice::all(array(
"customer" => $user->customer_id
));
If I set the AJAX response equal to $data, the response is shown as empty ( {} ). If I debug it in the backend, I get a huge list of all kinds of awesome properties to use. All I do is this:
debug($data); // returns huge data set
The trouble is that I can't access the variable in the frontend. I want to use:
console.log(response);
html += response.url;
And things to that effect, but the data is completely empty when the front end interprets it, for some reason.
In the same effect, I can't set it as a session either (I used to set session logs to debug instead of using the debug feature).
$data // can be accessed on the frontend if we use just php to set a variable
$_SESSION['log'] = $data; // empty
What's going on? I'm using the PHP framework CakePHP 3 (latest version of Beta). I think it has something to do with returning the data as serialized (maybe?) but that wouldn't explain the session logging. This happens right before we send the data back:
$this->set(compact('data', $data));
$this->set('_serialize', 'data');
If $data is not empty than you should just use the set method in the controller
$this->set(compact('data', $data));
Than you should have the corresponding view at /src/Template/ControllerName/json/methodName.ctp (Change ControllerName and methodName to what you have)
This file should be this.
<?php
print json_encode($data);
?>
That is all. You should have your data on your client side as a json object.
Turns out the answer was that the values could not be displayed while the array was protected. Calling Stripe's method __toArray() on the Stripe object made the data accessible, and setting worked past this point.
$data = \Stripe_Invoice::all(array(
"customer" => $user->customer_id
));
$data = $data->__toArray();
$this->set(compact('data', $data));
$this->set('_serialize', 'data');
