Problem

How do I list what services (liveservices) are available to me as a Partner?
Using the Partner RESTful API how do I list the services available to me?
Getting my current Partner Tariff using the RESTful API.

Solution

The following example of code shows you how to list all the liveservices available to you as a Partner to resell. The list is subject to what tarif you are on.

Prerequisites

To use the Partner API you must meet the following criteria

  • Have a working development environment.
  • Have an active Partner account. If you need a partner account you can sign up here.
  • Enabled your account to use the API and set the access controls.
  • Have valid API Credentials.
  • Optional - Setup your development environment to initially use the Sandbox Testing Poral.

Example Code

The examples below use the sandbox for testing. For a production environment remember to change the following:

  • API Url
  • Partner ID
  • Partner API Key

<?php
/**
 * liveservices-list-tariff.php
 * 
 * This example with do an API GET against live-services and show all the services
 * available to resell as a partner on your current tariff and the cost to the 
 * partner, shown in "partner credits".
 *

$apiPartnerId = "<PartnerID>";
$apiSecretKey = "___PartnerKey___";

$apiUrl       = "https://sandbox.my-engine.com/api-v1/live_services/service_names";

$crlf         = "<br />";

// Init Curl
$curl = curl_init();

// API Authentication:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$apiPartnerId:$apiSecretKey");

// Set Curl Options
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// API GET
$jsonResult = curl_exec($curl);

// Check for a valid HTTP 200 success and process the returned result
// or handler the failure.
if (curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE) == 200) {
    $result = json_decode($jsonResult, true);

    if (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE)   {
        // We have valid Json data, so lets display the results.
        foreach ($result['data'] as $liveservice) {
            echo "Service Name = " . $liveservice["service_name"] . ", ";
            echo "Cost (Credits) = " . $liveservice["credit_cost"] . $crlf;
        }
    }
    
} else {
    echo "Response Code = " . curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE) . $crlf;
    
    $result = json_decode($jsonResult, true);
    if (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE)   {
        echo "error = " . $result["error"]["name"] . $crlf;

        echo "message = " . $result["error"]["message"] . $crlf;
    } else {
        echo $jsonResult;

}
