REST API – authentication does not work

Resolved

(@ulieckardt)

I’d like to use the API but I can not authorize.

I use the manual from here:
https://imsas.github.io/wpdm-rest-api-docs/#authentication

//No matter which of the methods I use, I always get the same error

$authorization =  'Authorization: Basic {base64("xxxx:yyyyyyy")';
//$authorization = 'Authorization: Bearer KEY_CREATED_IN_WPDM_API_PUGIN'; 

$url = "https://xxxxx.com/wp-json/wpdm/v1/packages/";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $authorization );
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, "Content-Type: application/json" );
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
var_dump($j_result);

Result = {"code":"rest_forbidden","message":"You cannot view the post resource.","data":{"status":401}}"

Does the API really work or where is my mistake?

Thank you for your help

Uli

Add the following rule in your .htaccess file:
```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
```

Thank you for the fast reply. now I get the result.

I have another question:

If I want to update a package with the url
https://xxxxx.de/wp-json/wpdm/v1/packages/4070 //I got the package ID by the request before, I get the result “code”:”rest_no_route”, … 404

What can I do?

Thanks

Hi,
perfect, it works 🙂

But how can I change the data of a package?

I’ve tried:

$post[‘password’] = “[123]”;
$jsonData = json_encode($post);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonData);

—
And I’ve tried
$data = <<<DATA
{
“password”: “The Alchemist”
}
DATA;`
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

—
and
$messageData = ‘{
“title”: “The Alchemist”
}’;
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $messageData);
```
$curl = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        $headers = array(
            "Accept: application/json",
            "Authorization: Basic 1234567890",
        );
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mautic');
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $messageData); 
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
        
       curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
```
But no update 🙁

The result shows me the none-update data. What can I do?

Thank you.

SOLVED 🙂

$data = array(‘password’=>’123’);
$data_json = json_encode($data);
$headers = array(
“Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8”,
“Content-Length: ” .strlen($data_json),
“Authorization: Basic asadasdasdasdasd”,
);

$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, “PUT”);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_json);
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);`
