(PHP Extension) Shopify Private Authentication for Private Apps

Shopify private authentication is for interacting with your own store through private applications. It uses HTTP "Basic" authentication with your Shopify private application key and secret key.

This example demonstrates how to send a private authenticated request using Chilkat Http, and then the same using Chilkat Rest.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First demonstrate sending a simple request using Shopify private authentication w/ the Chilkat Http API.
$http = new CkHttp();

// To use HTTP Basic Authentication with any HTTP request, we simply set the Login, Password, and BasicAuth properties.
// Important: All HTTP requests using Basic authentication must be over SSL/TLS.
$http->put_Login('SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY');
$http->put_Password('SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY');
$http->put_BasicAuth(true);

// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->QuickGetObj('https://chilkat.myshopify.com/admin/products.json');
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Examine the response code.
if ($resp->get_StatusCode() != 200) {
    print 'Received error response code: ' . $resp->get_StatusCode() . "\n";
    print 'Response body:' . "\n";
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";

    exit;
}

// Success.
print 'Success.' . "\n";

// Examine the JSON response 
$sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
$resp->GetBodySb($sbJson);

$json = new CkJsonObject();
$json->LoadSb($sbJson);
$json->put_EmitCompact(false);
print $json->emit() . "\n";

// -------------------------------------------------
// Now let's do the same using the Chilkat Rest API.
$rest = new CkRest();

// Provide the private app credentials:
$rest->SetAuthBasic('SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_KEY','SHOPIFY_PRIVATE_API_SECRET_KEY');

// Connect to the shopify server.
$bTls = true;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = true;
// Make sure to replace "chilkat" with your store name.
$success = $rest->Connect('chilkat.myshopify.com',$port,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);
if ($success != true) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$sbJson->Clear();
$success = $rest->FullRequestNoBodySb('GET','/admin/products.json',$sbJson);
if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

if ($rest->get_ResponseStatusCode() != 200) {
    print 'Received error response code: ' . $rest->get_ResponseStatusCode() . "\n";
    print 'Response body:' . "\n";
    print $sbJson->getAsString() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Success...
$json->LoadSb($sbJson);
print $json->emit() . "\n";
