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://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:
Method |
HTTP equivalent |
---|---|
get |
(GET) |
add |
(POST) |
edit |
(PUT) |
delete |
(DELETE) |
We will develop the use of these methods in other parts of the tutorial.
