How To Add Clients From Api

[MashterSoporte]

I need import from other database my customers list to clients in blesta, but i want do it from API, how can i do it?

(I'm sorry, but I know a little english)

Have you read the documentation regarding the API?

 

Have you tried to use the API SDK to help simplify making API calls?

 

Have you looked at the source documention regarding the creation of clients? You can make a call to Clients::create to create a user account, client account, and contact in Blesta by passing all of the necessary information from data you retrieve from your current customer list.

I downloaded the API SDK, i cant get a response, but i use a HTTP Client (Chrome Extension - Boomerang) and get a response with the clients information, i try with "http://domain.com/api/clients/add/post.json"sending the params of add client form but i get this:

"{

    "message": "The format requested is not supported by the server.",

    "response": null

}"

What request data are you sending?

What request data are you sending?

I sending the same fields of the add clients form:

• _csrf_token
• first_name
• last_name
• company
• address1
• address2
• ...

The screenshot shows the user interface, but not your request sent via the API. If you're making an HTTP POST request using the API SDK you downloaded, you would do so similar to the examples shown in the API SDK readme.

I sending to domain.com/api/clients/create.xml with method POST

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<vars>
	<username>fulanito</username>
	<new_password>mash123</new_password>
	<confirm_password>mash123</confirm_password>
	<client_group_id>1</client_group_id>
	<status>active</status>
	<firstname>Fulanito</firstname>
	<last_name>De tal</last_name>
	<email>fulanito@email.com</email>
	<state>AGU</state>
	<country>MX</country>
	<zip>27000</zip>
	<settings>
		<default_currency>MXN</default_currency>
		<language>es_es</language>
		<username_type>username</username_type>
		<tax_id />
		<tax_exempt>true</tax_exempt>
		<send_registration_email>false</send_registration_email>
	</settings>
</vars>

And get this response

HTTP/1.1 400 "Bad Request" 1317ms

	<response />
</clients>

Whats is wrong?

[MashterSoporte]

in the previous post i am using a Chrome extension HTTP Client (Boomerang) beacause i cant use the SDK

 

This is my PHP Code if i use the API SDK

<?php

require_once 'api/blesta_api.php';

$user = "isaac";
$key = "a5-----------------0f4f";
$url = "http://domain.com/api";

$api = new BlestaApi($url, $user, $key);

$args = array(
    'vars' => array(
        'username' => 'fulanito',
        'new_password' => 'Mash.123',
        'confirm_password' => 'Mash.123',
        'client_group_id' => 1,
        'first_name' => 'Fulanito',
        'last_name' => 'De tal',
        'email' => 'fulanito@moesbar.com',
        'state' => 'AGU',
        'country' => 'MX',
        'zip' => '27000',
        'settings' => array(
            'default_currency' => 'MXN',
            'language' => 'es_es',
            'tax_exempt' => true,
            'send_registration_email' => false
        )
    )
);

$response = $api->post('clients', 'create', $args);

var_dump($response);

The var_dump show this:

object(BlestaResponse)#2 (2) {
  ["raw":"BlestaResponse":private]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["response_code":"BlestaResponse":private]=>
  int(302)
}

Can you dump the response and any errors?

i.e.

print_r($response->response());
print_r($response->errors());

What you have looks like it should work to me. Are you able to perform a simpler action, like the example in the docs--fetching a user by ID?

$response = $api->get("users", "get", array('user_id' => 1));
