Can't get rest API to work

[maxkunes]

Some background:

PHP is running as an apache-2 module not CGI

URL Rewrite rule is currently off (will change in the future)

 

I have tried the following:

http://www.mywebsite.net/api/index.php?/core/hello&key=APIKEYHERE

http://www.mywebsite.net/api/index.php?/core/hello?key=APIKEYHERE
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/index.php?/core/hello&key={APIKEYHERE}
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/index.php?/core/hello?key={APIKEYHERE}
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/core/hello?key=APIKEYHERE
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/core/hello&key=APIKEYHERE
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/core/hello?key={APIKEYHERE}
http://www.mywebsite.net/api/core/hello&key={APIKEYHERE}

 

 

All of them have given me a NO_API_KEY error.

 

What am I doing wrong here been at this for a couple hours can't figure it out.

 

Also forgot to mention but when I check the API logs I don't see any entries at all?

 

Thanks

Take a look at our documentation;)

Authorization

If supported by your server, the recommend method for authorization is via HTTP Basic Auth. Send the API key you created earlier as the username, and no password.

If your server does not support this because PHP is running as a CGI binary, you will see a message in the AdminCP to indicate this. To authenticate, you should send an additional "key" parameter (in the query string for a GET request or along with the other parameters for a POST or PUT request) with the API key you created earlier. For example:

You can test it with the sample code from our article.

btw, I have also edited your first post to remove the URL ( you've changed the linktext, but your URL and the key were still visible in the sourcecode.

Completely forgot about the hyper links xD

 

However if that's the case (the support section you linked) then why didn't this work:

The key parameter is only used with PHP running CGI mode.

/* Work out API key */
			$rawApiKey = NULL;
			if ( \IPS\Request::i()->isCgi() and isset( \IPS\Request::i()->key ) )
			{
				$rawApiKey = \IPS\Request::i()->key;
			}
			else
			{
				if ( isset( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] ) )
				{
					$rawApiKey = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
				}
				else
				{
					foreach ( $_SERVER as $k => $v )
					{
						if ( mb_substr( $k, -18 ) == 'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' )
						{
							$exploded = explode( ':', base64_decode( mb_substr( $v, 6 ) ) );
							if ( isset( $exploded[0] ) )
							{
								$rawApiKey = $exploded[0];
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}

Thanks I don't know how I managed to misread that in the docs. Got it working in curl
