Login credentials

How to get credentials data?

- 2.Go to Synchronization > Rest API.
- 3.At this point, you receive your login details.
API account authentication - Basic Auth
The API uses the underlying HTTP authentication scheme. You must include an Authorization header with each mobile-calendar API query.

An example of cURL request in PHP
The following script gets prices for the date range 1/1/2021 - 1/31/2021.
Including the header is visible on line 10.
1
function sampleRequest()
2
{
3
define(USERNAME, '[email protected]************************');
4
define(PASSWORD, 'SJbVx^[email protected]*****************************');
5
$url = 'htttps://app.mobile-calendar.com/api/get/pricing';
6
7
$ch = curl_init($url);
8
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
9
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
10
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, USERNAME. ":" .PASSWORD);
11
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
12
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode([
13
"from" => "2021-01-01",
14
"to" => "2021-01-31"
15
]));
16
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
17
$result = curl_exec($ch);
18
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
19
curl_close($ch);
20
return ['body' => $result, 'httpcode' => $httpcode];
21
}
Copied!
Remember to add a header:
Content-Type: application/jsonAuthorization error
The authorization error returns the error code 401 Unauthorized and the JSON response shown below:
1
{
2
"status": "error",
3
"errors": "Wrong credentials"
4
}
Copied!
Troubleshooting
- Make sure your request includes an Authorization header
- Make sure that you have entered the correct login credentials (API login and password)
- Make sure you have entered a valid URL
