REST documentation a little light

[jcorry]

I have been using the SOAP interface to get/put records from Sugar and find it's performance a little slow for current project.

We had high hopes for the REST interface in Sugar 5.5.

The webservices API guide is a little light on documentation for using the REST interface.

Are there any PHP examples online that your team knows about?

Look at service/test.html which is a javascript examples file for just to start with. I will post PHP examples in a while.

I'm eager to see PHP examples...right now I'm trying variations of this:

$userAuth = array('user_name' => $user, 'password' => md5($pass));

$req =& new HTTP_Request($rootURL);
$req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST);
$req->addPostData('method', 'login');
$req->addPostData('user_auth', $userAuth);
$req->addPostData('application', 'TRIPInfo');
$req->sendRequest();
$list = $req->getResponseBody();

And it generates a 500 response from the server with the message:

<b>Warning</b>: Missing argument 1 for SugarWebServiceImpl::login(), called in /var/www/vhosts/tripinfo/htdocs/sugar55beta/service/core/REST/SugarRest.php on line 79 and defined in <b>/var/www/vhosts/tripinfo/htdocs/sugar55beta/service/core/SugarWebServiceImpl.php</b> on line <b>500</b><br />

Here is the correct code.

$req =& new HTTP_Request($url);
$req->setMethod(HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_POST);
$req->addPostData('method', 'login');
$req->addPostData('input_type', 'json');
$req->addPostData('response_type', 'json');
$json = getJSONobj();
$jsonEncodedData = $json->encode(array('user_auth'=>array('user_name'=>$use r_name,'password'=>md5($user_password), 'version'=>'.01'), 'application_name'=>'TRIPInfo', 'name_value_list' => array()), false);
$req->addPostData('rest_data', $jsonEncodedData);
$req->sendRequest();
$list = $req->getResponseBody();

Try out this one and let me know what u get.
