I would like to add a post to a Blogger blog via PHP. Google provided the example below. How to use that with PHP?
You can add a post for a blog by sending a POST request to the post collection URI with a post JSON body:
POST https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/8070105920543249955/posts/
Authorization: /* OAuth 2.0 token here */
Content-Type: application/json
{
"kind": "blogger#post",
"blog": {
"id": "8070105920543249955"
},
"title": "A new post",
"content": "With <b>exciting</b> content..."
}
I made API sending data via form on website to prosperworks based on @Rocket Hazmat, @dbau and @maraca code. I hope, it will help somebody:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//form's fields name:
$name = $_POST['nameField'];
$email = $_POST['emailField'];
//API url:
$url = 'https://api.prosperworks.com/developer_api/v1/leads';
//JSON data(not exact, but will be compiled to JSON) file:
//add as many data as you need (according to prosperworks doc):
$data = array(
'name' => $name,
'email' => array('email' => $email)
);
//sending request (according to prosperworks documentation):
// use key 'http' even if you send the request to https://...
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-Type: application/json\r\n".
"X-PW-AccessToken: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE\r\n".
"X-PW-Application:developer_api\r\n".
"X-PW-UserEmail: YOUR_EMAIL_HERE\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => json_encode($data)
)
);
//engine:
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
if ($result === FALSE) { /* Handle error */ }
//compiling to JSON (as wrote above):
$resultData = json_decode($result, TRUE);
//display what was sent:
echo '<h2>Sent: </h2>';
echo $resultData['published'];
//dump var:
var_dump($result);
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<h1><?php echo $msg; ?></h1>
Name: <input type="text" name="nameField"/>
<br>
Email: <input type="text" name="emailField"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
// Example API call
$data = array(array (
"REGION" => "MUMBAI",
"LOCATION" => "NA",
"STORE" => "AMAZON"));
// json encode data
$authToken = "xxxxxxxxxx";
$data_string = json_encode($data);
// set up the curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://domainyouhaveapi.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type:application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string) ,
'API-TOKEN-KEY:'.$authToken )); // API-TOKEN-KEY is keyword so change according to ur key word. like authorization
// execute the request
$output = curl_exec($ch);
//echo $output;
// Check for errors
if($output === FALSE){
die(curl_error($ch));
}
echo($output) . PHP_EOL;
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
If you do not want to use CURL, you could find some examples on stackoverflow, just like this one here: How do I send a POST request with PHP?. I would recommend you watch a few tutorials on how to use GET and POST methods within PHP or just take a look at the php.net manual here: httprequest::send. You can find a lot of tutorials: HTTP POST from PHP, without cURL and so on...
I think cURL would be a good solution. This is not tested, but you can try something like this:
$body = '{
"kind": "blogger#post",
"blog": {
"id": "8070105920543249955"
},
"title": "A new post",
"content": "With <b>exciting</b> content..."
}';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/8070105920543249955/posts/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json","Authorization: OAuth 2.0 token here"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
