Using WHMCS API in asp.net programming

[kenby]

Hey folk,

anybody know how to use the WHMCS's API kit with ASP.net? I couldn't add the http://domain.com/whmcs/includes/api.php to my web references in Visual Studio .. as I saw it's only possible to use this API with PHP programming ..! .. any kinda help would be appreciated!

this is beacause its two totally different langauages.

What you need to do is Post data the the PHP api handler (see http://wiki.whmcs.com/API:Example_Usage)

 

This Asp Alliance article has more info about how to post with asp. You then enter the address to post to as the api url (http://www.mywhcms.com/whmcs/includes/api.php)

 

Hope this helps.

Dear Shaun,

 

Is there anyway to call WGNCS' PHP API from ASP.Net Application ?

[Peter M Dodge]

...He just explained how to do that. You need to send the data to the API via HTTP_POST.

Thanks Peter M Dodge,

 

But I have problem, because WHMCS sample code show like that

 

1 $url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcs/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file

2 $username = "Admin"; # Admin username goes here

3 $password = "demo"; # Admin password goes here

4

5 $postfields["username"] = $username;

6 $postfields["password"] = md5($password);

7 $postfields["action"] = "addinvoicepayment"; #action performed by the [[API:Functions]]

8 $postfields["invoiceid"] = "1";

9 $postfields["transid"] = "TEST";

10 $postfields["gateway"] = "mailin";

11

12 $ch = curl_init();

13 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

14 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

15 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

16 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

17 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

18 $data = curl_exec($ch);

19 curl_close($ch);

 

at line 12, that coad use curl_init() object,

 

I think I can't access to the curl_init class from my .Net application.

 

help me.

Yes, I can submit POST data to PHP page, but I don't know how to execute the functions from WHMCMS' API.

 

I means, the example code using curl_init object from includes/api.php. But in ASP.Net can not use curl_init object.

 

So, which page should I send my POST data?. Help me
