Problem

How do I Unsuspend a Client (end-user) under my Partner account using the Partner API?
Unsuspending a client end-user using the RESTful Partner API?

Solution

The following example of code shows you how to unsuspend a client (end-user) under your partner account.

Note, Unsuspending (enabling) a client will enable the client from a previous suspend/disable but it only enables the client. It will not enable & unsuspend the services under the client. For this you will need to call /live_services/suspension for each service to reactivate.

Prerequisites

To use the Partner API you must meet the following criteria

  • Have a working development environment.
  • Have an active Partner account. If you need a partner account you can sign up here.
  • Enabled your account to use the API and set the access controls.
  • Have valid API Credentials.
  • Optional - Setup your development environment to initially use the Sandbox Testing Portal.

For Partner API reference documentation please see https://portal.my-engine.com/apidocs/index.html

Example Code

The examples below uses the sandbox. For a production environment remember to change the following:

  • API Url
  • Partner ID
  • Partner API Key

<?php
/**
 * client-unsuspend.php
 * 
 * This example will Unsuspend a client.
 * 
 */
$apiPartnerId = "<PartnerID>";
$apiSecretKey = "___PartnerKey___";

$apiUrl       = "https://sandbox.my-engine.com/api-v1/clients";

$crlf         = "<br />";

// Client ID to unsuspend
$clientid = "9987608";

// Create the array for the client data
$client    = array();
$client["enable"] = 1;

// Init Curl
$curl = curl_init();

// API Authentication:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$apiPartnerId:$apiSecretKey");

// Set Curl Options
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $apiUrl . '/' . $clientid . '/enabled');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// API PATCH 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PATCH');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($client));

// Tell it we're sending a JSON set of data in the POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    ));

    
// API PATCH
$jsonResult = curl_exec($curl);

// Check for a valid HTTP 200 success and process the returned result
// or handler the failure.
if (curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE) == 200) {
    $result = json_decode($jsonResult, true);

    if (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE)   {
        echo "status = " . $result["meta"]["success"] . $crlf;
    } else {
        print_r($result);
    }
    
} else {
    echo "Response Code = " . curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE) . $crlf;
    
    $result = json_decode($jsonResult, true);
    if (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE)   {
        echo "error = " . $result["error"]["name"] . $crlf;
        echo "url = " . $result["error"]["url"] . $crlf;
        echo "message = " . $result["error"]["message"] . $crlf;
    } else {
        echo $jsonResult;
    }
}

curl_close($curl);
