Overview

The code samples in this section all use the following classes.

The Request class uses cURL to make the requests to the API.

The Response class contains the API response and returned status code info.


class Request {

Login

There are two options to request the login route:

  • with username and password
  • with api token (access token)

Example of login with username and password parameters.


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/login';

$params = array(
'username' => 'sample_username',
'password' => 'sample_password'
);

// Create a new Request object
$request = new Request($url, 'POST', $params);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the Response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

// Retrieve the session token details
$token = $response->getBodyDecoded();

print_r($token);
}
else {

echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody() . PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Example of login with API token (access token)


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/login';

$params = array(
'api_token' => 'sample_token_2bb447abb71b69368901a....'
);

// Create a new Request object
$request = new Request($url, 'POST', $params);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the Response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

// Retrieve the session token details
$token = $response->getBodyDecoded();

print_r($token);
}
else {

echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody() . PHP_EOL;
}
?>

Authentication

Each request to user related content requires an Authorization header to be set, with the value containing the token type and Session token received from the API Login request.

A valid /login request to the API will return the following json payload.


{
"token": "",
"type": "",
"expires_in": 0
}

The Session token should be included in all subsequent user related content requests to the API.

The type is to be prepended to the the token, separated by a single space.


Bearer 4e63518d383d8fcaefb516fe708b893727463031

The expires_in is the time in seconds that the token will be valid for. When this time expires, a new token will need to be attained via the /login request.

Example of Getting and Setting Authorization Header with username and password


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

// Login
$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/login';

$params = array(
'username' => 'sample_username',
'password' => 'sample_password'
);

// Create a new Request object
$request = new Request($url, 'POST', $params);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the Response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

// Retrieve the session token details
$token = $response->getBodyDecoded();

// Get Campaigns
$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/campaigns';

// Create a new Request object
$request = new Request($url, 'GET');

// Set the Authorization Header
$request->setAuthorizationHeader($token->type, $token->token);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the Response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

// Retrieve the campaigns
$campaigns = $response->getBodyDecoded();

foreach($campaigns->result as $campaign) {
// Display the campaign names
echo $campaign->name . PHP_EOL;
}
}
else {
// Campaigns request error
echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody();
}
}
else {
// Invalid Login
echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody();
}
?>

Example of Getting and Setting Authorization Header with API token


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

// Login
$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/login';

$params = array(
'api_token' => 'sample_token_2bb447abb71b69368901a....'
);

...

?>

Collections

The following is an example of a request to get the Browsers collection.


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/collections/browsers';

// Create a new Request object
$request = new Request($url, 'GET');

// Set the Authorization Header retrieved from earlier Login request
$request->setAuthorizationHeader($token->type, $token->token);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the Response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

$browsers = $response->getBodyDecoded();

foreach($browsers as $browser) {

echo $browser->id . ': ' . $browser->name . PHP_EOL;
}
}
else {
// Collection not found
echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody();
}
?>

Statistics

The following is an example of an advertiser request to statistics/a/date.

In case additional_group_by value is defined, the request will be grouped by the main route field and the extra one(s).

Example of statistics per date filtered by campaign ID 1234.


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/statistics/a/date';

// Specify the campaign id
$params = array(
'campaignid' => 1234
);

$request = new Request($url, 'GET', $params);

// Set the Authorization Header, retrieved from earlier Login request
$request->setAuthorizationHeader($token->type, $token->token);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

$statistics = $response->getBodyDecoded();

foreach($statistics->result as $statistic) {

echo $statistic->ddate . ': ' . $statistic->value . PHP_EOL;
}
}
else {
// Campaign statistics not found
echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody();
}
?>

Example of statistics per date with additional group by campaign.


<?php

// Include Request and Response classes

$url = 'https://api.example.com/v2/statistics/a/date';

// Specify the campaign id
$params = array(
'additional_group_by' => 'campaign'
);

$request = new Request($url, 'GET', $params);

// Set the Authorization Header, retrieved from earlier Login request
$request->setAuthorizationHeader($token->type, $token->token);

// Send the request
$request->send();

// Get the response object
$response = $request->getResponse();

if($response->getStatusCode() == 200) {

$statistics = $response->getBodyDecoded();

foreach($statistics->result as $statistic) {
echo $statistic->ddate . ' - ' . $statistic->idcampaign . ': ' . $statistic->value . PHP_EOL;
}
}
else {
// Campaign statistics not found
echo $response->getStatusCode() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getReasonPhrase() . PHP_EOL;
echo $response->getBody();
}
?>
