Problem

How do I get the details of a single outMail service using the Partner API?
Get the details of an outMail service using the RESTful Partner API?

Solution

The following example of code shows you how to GET the details of an outMail service.

Notes

It is assumed that you already have the following.

  • outMail ID - You need the outmail id to retrieve the details of the service. outMail ID can be found by using the /outmails end point. See the examples on outmails-list.

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
/**
 * outmail-get.php
 * 
 * This example with do an API GET for a outmail based on a specified outmail_id.
 * 
 */
 
$apiPartnerId = "<PartnerID>";
$apiSecretKey = "___PartnerKey___";

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

$crlf         = "<br />";

// ID of the outmail service to Get.
$outmailIdToGet = "12341504";

// 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 . $outmailIdToGet);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// API GET
$jsonResult = curl_exec($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)   {
        // We have valid Json data, so lets display the results.
        echo "outMail ID = " . $result['data']["id"] . $crlf;

    }
