Title: API Woocommerce GET function – SetOrder with variable URL Last modified: May 2, 2019 --- # API Woocommerce GET function – SetOrder with variable URL * Resolved [asso99](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asso99/) * (@asso99) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-woocommerce-get-function-setorder-with-variable-url-2/) * First of all I would like to say that I’m new to the programming world and that I will appreciate your help with my following question. Basically I would like to add an API call as soon as an order is completed and being actually paid. So I found this function online. * ``` add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'my_api_call'); function my_api_call( $order_id ){ // Order Setup Via WooCommerce $order = new WC_Order( $order_id ); // Iterate Through Items $items = $order->get_items(); foreach ( $items as $item ) { // Store Product ID $product_id = $item['product_id']; $product = new WC_Product($item['product_id']); // Check for "API" Category and Run if ( has_term( 'api', 'product_cat', $product_id ) ) { $name = $order->billing_first_name; $surname = $order->billing_last_name; $email = $order->billing_email; $projectsku = $product->get_sku(); $apikey = "KEY_GOES_HERE"; // API Callout to URL $url = '##API URL##'; $body = array( "Project" => $projectsku, "Name" => $name, "Surname" => $surname, "Email" => $email, "KEY" => $apikey ); $response = wp_remote_post( $url, array( 'headers' => array('Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=utf-8'), 'method' => 'POST', 'timeout' => 75, 'body' => json_encode($body), ) ); $vars = json_decode($response['body'],true); // API Response Stored as Post Meta update_post_meta( $order_id, 'meta_message_'.$projectsku, $vars['message'] ); update_post_meta( $order_id, 'meta_link_'.$projectsku, $vars['link']); update_post_meta( $order_id, 'did-this-run','yes'); // just there as a checker variable for me } } } ``` * In this function I would like to have a variable URL as the example below: * > [http://server_name/application_name/Myapi/Productslist/setOrder?DBContext=Default&purchase_no=2&order_no=2&barcode=5009736400011&ordQty=1&sellPrice=300.22&key=password](http://server_name/application_name/Myapi/Productslist/setOrder?DBContext=Default&purchase_no=2&order_no=2&barcode=5009736400011&ordQty=1&sellPrice=300.22&key=password) * Which is a GET function in which the variables are: purchase_no order_no barcode ordQty sellPrice * And “key” needs to be a fixed string. * So, do I need to add all the variables under array? * ``` $url = '##API URL##'; $body = array( "Project" => $projectsku, "Name" => $name, "Surname" => $surname, "Email" => $email, "KEY" => $apikey ); ``` * Moreover do I need to change the method to GET in order for it to work? * ``` $response = wp_remote_post( $url, array( 'headers' => array('Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=utf-8'), 'method' => 'POST', 'timeout' => 75, 'body' => json_encode($body), ) ); ``` * Thank you very much in advance!

If you set up a webhook, it will automatically send a notification to the given address. There’s also an option to add a `Secret` in webhook settings that serves as an authentication key: * [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/webhooks/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/webhooks/) * If you need to additionally modify the API message response sent by the webhook( i.e. rename certain columns), you can use the filter `woocommerce_api_order_response` to change the response before it is sent. Here I found an example of how this can be done: * [http://dominykasgel.com/modify-woocommerce-api-orders-response/](http://dominykasgel.com/modify-woocommerce-api-orders-response/) * Cheers! * [madeincosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madeincosmos/) * (@madeincosmos) * Automattic Happiness Engineer * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-woocommerce-get-function-setorder-with-variable-url-2/#post-11599978) * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. If you have some more questions, feel free to start a new one. * Cheers!
