In order to start using API we have to add a new API user and allowed IP addresses - System - Users - API. The API key can be generated automatically after clicking on generate button.
After creating the API Key, we can login into the fesh. API using the created API key:
<?php
$url = "http://yourdomain/index.php?route=api/login";
$params = array(
'key=%your-api-key%'
);
$parameters = implode('&', $params);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, $parameter_count);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters);
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
print_r($result);
?>
If everything was done right, you'll get json-response with api_token for your session. Check site admin API page, edit API user and open "Sessions" tab - you can see established session.
