Access the web service

In this section we will see how to access the web service via the PHP library.

First, you must create a PrestaShopWebservice instance that takes 3 parameters in its constructor:

• The store's root path (ex: [ |http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.com%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFhj_6BrnOgA6OlRhMq_T1CxcjGRA]http://store.com/ )
• The authentication key (ex: ZR92FNY5UFRERNI3O9Z5QDHWKTP3YIIT)
• A Boolean indicating whether the Web service must use its debug mode

If you do not understand the terms of object-oriented programming such as instance, method, or constructor, that's okay for the rest of the tutorial. Here's how you create a Web service call:

 
$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice( 'http://mystore.com/', 'ZR92FNY5UFRERNI3O9Z5QDHWKTP3YIIT', false );

Once the instance is created, you can access the following methods:

We will develop the use of these methods in other parts of the tutorial.
