How do you set up a reseller api?

Tyman · Jun 15, 2015

So I'm reselling instagram followers and likes on my site and the reseller panel I use offers an API but it doesn't give all the instructions I need to install it on my site.

All it says is: For add a new order you should perform a HTTP Call to the following url with the following parameters

I tried googling http call but I'm not really finding much. Anyone have a link to a tutorial or anything? It is for a wordpress site using woocommerce if that helps.

Depends on the API, but look at PHP CURL. You either set parameters in the URL (i.e. xxxx.php?var1=something&var2=somethingelse), or as POST fields, depending on the API. Then bundle it as a WP plugin.

TBH, if you're asking how to do a HTTP call, you probably need to hire someone.

Thanks, I just started learning stuff about wordpress last week and have been googling every problem I've come across and learned how to do everything I've needed so far.

The api is set up like this: api.php?key={your_private_key}&action=add&type={service_type}&amount={amount_actions}&link={link_to_delivery}

I'm guessing it gets sent after the checkout is complete, I'll look into PHP CURL now, does that allow me to add stuff after a certain action is complete?

It will be hard for you to do if you just learned wordpress. I have been coding for years before I knew php to do this stuff. You may can hire someone from freelancer.com they are good and they are cheap

Alright, I'll post a job and hopefully learn how they do it by looking at it once it is complete. Thanks for your help

With PHP CURL, you give it an URL, and execute, so your PHP code might be something like...

Code:

<?php         // create curl resource 
        $ch = curl_init(); 


        // set url 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "api.php?key={your_private_key}&action=add&type={service_type}&amount={amount_actions}&link={link_to_ delivery}"); 


        //return the transfer as a string 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 


        // $output contains the output string 
        $output = curl_exec($ch); 


        // close curl resource to free up system resources 
        curl_close($ch);      
?>

but with your own variables in there.

I would presume you deal with checkout yourself i.e. you have a form on your website, take payment off the customer, and then if payment is successful, you call the api.php URL with the data.

All CURL does is send the data to the API, and return a response. You would have to implement all the actions yourself.

Good luck!

Hired someone from elance last night and got everything finished this morning. I looked at the code and I'm glad I just got someone to do it because it looks like it would have taken me forever to learn how to do everything.

Thanks for the help
