使用PHP Curl的Lightspeed API

Question

I want to perform a post call with the use of an api. But after some changes I still get the same error and it doesn't get solved/

This is the code I use:

 // init
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://staging-exact-integration.posios.com/PosServer/rest/registration/register');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// array fields var
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query(array(
        'city' => 'Gent',
        'company' => 'cedric resto',
        'email' => '[e-mail]',
        'firstName' => 'Cedric',
        'lastName' => 'De Weirt',
        'locale' => 'Gent',
        'number' => '33',
        'password' => '1234',
        'phone' => '0476612438',
        'referer' => '13c435f9-084a-4e79-866f-8b9800e5c14f',
        'street' => 'Testlaan',
        'zip'=> '9000')));

// receive server response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

print $server_output;

// further processing
if (strpos($server_output,'201') == true)
{
    // created
    echo 'Created';
}
else
{
    // catch the error(s)
    echo 'Error Catch';
}

I constanly get this error:

HTTP ERROR 415

Problem accessing /PosServer/rest/registration/register. Reason:

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

The main issue is that you aren't telling the server what format you are sending, and it's not valid.

You need to json_encode the array:

$payload = json_encode(array(
        'city' => 'Gent',
        'company' => 'cedric resto',
        'email' => '[e-mail]',
        'firstName' => 'Cedric',
        'lastName' => 'De Weirt',
        'locale' => 'Gent',
        'number' => '33',
        'password' => '1234',
        'phone' => '0476612438',
        'referer' => '13c435f9-084a-4e79-866f-8b9800e5c14f',
        'street' => 'Testlaan',
        'zip'=> '9000'));

Remove http_build_query it's not necessary:

// array fields var
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);

Send the header type of the data you are sending:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));

The end result is:

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://staging-exact-integration.posios.com/PosServer/rest/registration/register');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$payload = json_encode(array(
        'city' => 'Gent',
        'company' => 'cedric resto',
        'email' => '[e-mail]',
        'firstName' => 'Cedric',
        'lastName' => 'De Weirt',
        'locale' => 'Gent',
        'number' => '33',
        'password' => '1234',
        'phone' => '0476612438',
        'referer' => '13c435f9-084a-4e79-866f-8b9800e5c14f',
        'street' => 'Testlaan',
        'zip'=> '9000'));

// array fields var
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));

// receive server response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

print $server_output;

// further processing
if (strpos($server_output,'201') == true)
{
    // created
    echo 'Created';
}
else
{
    // catch the error(s)
    echo 'Error Catch';
}

Also, it appears you are missing a field that you'll need to add into your array:

{"code":"1401","description":"Registration failed, no valid country in company"}

That's unrelated; the (HTTP ERROR 415) should be resolved.
