Internal API error

[l0sth34d]

Hello,

 

I'm using the internal API, I added the IP of the server in the security section and created an admin with the API Access for the Role and I'm still getting the "result=error;message=Authentication Failed;" message when I call the API. I tried a simple validate login command, the result is "result=error;message=Authentication Failed;OK". So basicly everything is working except that it keeps saying this Authentication Failed without any reason... Is this a bug or am I missing something here ? Heres the code..

 

 <?php
require("../includes/api.php");

# Set Vars
$command = 'validatelogin';
$values = array( 'email' => 'email_of@the_client.com', 'password2' => 'his_password', );
$adminuser = 'API_USERNAME';

# Call API
$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);
if ($results['result']!="success") {
 echo "An Error Occurred: ".$results['result'];
}
else {
 echo "OK";
}

?>

If you are in a shared hosting with multiple ips verify that the allowed ip in your api is the web server ip.

Thank you very much for your reply gnugeek,

 

I found out what was the problem, I was calling the api.php and I found out that it's not the way to do it. We need to call some files like when we create a custom page (can't remember the file names and cannot verify since I'm writing this with my cellphone). However if anyone have the same problem I will be glad to help.
