So I downloaded a wrapper class from this github link:

https://github.com/ignaciovazquez/Highrise-PHP-Api

and I’m just trying to get any response whatsoever. So far, I can’t even authenticate with my credentials so I was wondering if any who has used the API could help me.

I tried running one of the test files on Terminal with no arguments and this is what it told me:

Usage: php users.test.php [account-name] [access-token]

Alright, so then decided to get my credentials. So this is what I understand, and, please, correct if I’m wrong:

the account-name is that part that goes in the url to your highrise account. So if your url is:

https://exampleaccount.highrisehq.com/

then your account name is: “exampleaccount”

and your access token is your authentication token that you can find by going clicking on My info > API token inside your Highrise account.

Is that right?

Well anyways, I enter this info and script terminates with a fatal error and this message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'API for User returned Status Code: 0 Expected Code: 200' in /Users/me/Sites/sandbox/PHP/highrise_api_class/lib/HighriseAPI.class.php:137
Stack trace:
#0 /Users/me/Sites/sandbox/PHP/highrise_api_class/lib/HighriseAPI.class.php(166): HighriseAPI->checkForErrors('User')
#1 /Users/me/Sites/sandbox/PHP/highrise_api_class/test/users.test.php(13): HighriseAPI->findMe()
#2 {main}
  thrown in /Users/me/Sites/sandbox/PHP/highrise_api_class/lib/HighriseAPI.class.php on line 137

I’m complete n00b and I don’t really understand what it’s saying so I was wondering if any could help. It would be greatly appreciated.

The source of the test script (users.test.php) is:

<?php
require_once("../lib/HighriseAPI.class.php");

if (count($argv) != 3)
    die("Usage: php users.test.php [account-name] [access-token]\n");

$hr = new HighriseAPI();
$hr->debug = false;
$hr->setAccount($argv[1]);
$hr->setToken($argv[2]);

print "Finding my user...\n";
$user = $hr->findMe();
print_r($user);

print "Finding all users...\n";
$users = $hr->findAllUsers();
print_r($users);

?>

and the source to the Highrise API wrapper file (Highrise.API.class) is:

<?php

Sorry it’s such a long file but if it helps, then so be it.

EDIT: So I guess I got it to work. I should’ve said that I was trying to test this library out on my local server and for some reason it would keep failing but when I moved the script to my development server on Rackspace cloud then it would work. This just puzzles me. Both servers have support for PHP curl so I can’t really understand where the problem is.

EDIT: I’m not sure what the difference between the two server configurations could be but anyways here’s a couple of screenshots from my phpinfo function output from both servers of my curl configuration:

Localhost server:

and the rackspace cloud server:

    Ah, since there is really no HTTP error code 0 I expect that your request isn’t being made to Highrise’s website, or you are not correctly passing in the account name and token to the class. Can you include the source of your users.test.php class?

    EDIT: tested the class and your code, and it works for me. You probably either copied the library file wrong or have your token copied wrong.
