message=Authentication Failed

[terungwa]

I have reviewed the responses in relation to this question I am asking here but, none successfully addresses this issue

 

I am using the Get Clients Details API to retrieve some data held about a client in the WHMCS System for a given ID via a hook to be called each time a client logs into the backend.

 

 

This is my code:

function hook_obtain_client_details_on_login($params) { 
	$url = "http://bemastech.com/store/includes/api.php";
	$userid = $params['userid'];
	$postfields["action"] = "getclientsdetails";
	$postfields["clientid"] = "{$userid}"; 		

	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
	$data = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	$data = explode(";", $data);
	foreach ($data as $temp)
	{
		$temp = explode("=", $temp);
		$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
	}
	if ($results["result"] == "success")
	{
		$_SESSION['email'] = $results["email"];
		$_SESSION['phonenumber'] = $results["phonenumber"];
		$_SESSION['userid'] = $results["userid"];
	}
	else
	{
		die("An error occured. Please contact support. ({$results['message']})");
	} 
}
add_hook("ClientLogin",1,"hook_obtain_client_details_on_login","");

 

But, on login, this error is thrown up from my script:

 

array(3) { [0]=> string(12) "result=error" [1]=> string(29) "message=Authentication Failed" [2]=> string(0) "" } 

 

My IP Address has been allowed to connect to the WHMCS API.

I am using WHMCS Version 6.1.1

 

How can I resolve this problem ? Thank you in advance.

You are using your API function inside an action hook so there's really no need to use external API. Simply use internal API:

$command = "getclientsdetails";
$adminuser = "admin";
$values["clientid"] = "1";
$values["stats"] = true;
$values["responsetype"] = "xml";

$results = localAPI($command,$values,$adminuser);

Also notice that in your script you were using this:

$postfields["clientid"] = "{$userid}";

"{$userid}" makes no sense. Responsetype parameter (xml) was missing. Lastly you did not specify username and the MD5 password to connect to WHMCS.
