I am using the excellent Parse as a data store, but need to access it through PHP (as a perhaps irrelevant bit of detail - I am having to access it through PHP in order for Facebook scrapers to recognise dynaically generated tags on my page).
Parse have a Rest API, and basic instructions on how to use them. For example, to retrieve an object:
curl -X GET \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: [My application ID]" \
-H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: [My Parse Rest API key]" \
https://api.parse.com/1/classes/moods/
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to integrate this with PHP Curl examples I've seen online. I gather:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,
..might be involved. As might:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
but I could be way off. I am really sorry to not be able to figure this out myself - but I think this is still a valid question as it is very confusing to those who haven't used Curl/PHP before. Basically - I'm looking for information as basic as where to put the quoted example from the Parse docs...
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Hey all, here is the solution as I configured it. Thanks to debianek for getting me going in the right direction.
if ($_GET['id']) {
$imageId = $_GET['id'];
MyApplicationId = '[ID]';
$MyParseRestAPIKey = '[API Key]';
$url = 'https://api.parse.com/1/classes/images/'.$imageId;
$headers = array(
"Content-Type: application/json",
"X-Parse-Application-Id: " . $MyApplicationId,
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key: " . $MyParseRestAPIKey
);
$handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($handle);
curl_close($handle);
$array = json_decode($data);
$title = $array->title;
..and so on. Hope that helps.
Put it into headers
$headers = array(
"X-Parse-Application-Id: $MyApplicationId",
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key: $MyParseRestAPIkey"
);
$handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
<?php
$url = 'https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore';
$appId = 'YOUR_APP_ID';
$restKey = 'YOUR_REST_KEY';
$headers = array(
"Content-Type: application/json",
"X-Parse-Application-Id: " . $appId,
"X-Parse-REST-API-Key: " . $restKey
);
$objectData = '{"name":"Adarsh", "age":"26"}';
$rest = curl_init();
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$objectData);
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($rest,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($rest);
echo $response;
print_r($response);
curl_close($rest);
?>
