Hi jiga,


Please look into If-Modified-Since Header usage:

Please note that not all the endpoints/resouces support this header, we are adding them slowly.

cheers,

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your assistance!
I have gone through the RestAPI link that you have suggested but I could not get any information related to latest modified data, My rest call status is "200 OK" but still I could not get the exact information what I'm trying to get!

I have make the rest call through the following RestAPI
/api/v1.0/companies/123/jobs/ If-Modified-Since: Wed, 30 May 2018 12:00:00 GMT

Thanks,
jigar

Hi jigar,

If-Modified-Since needs to put in the header:

Can you give an example of inserting If-Modified-Since header in the GET request in PHP using simPRO API ?

Hi Ashishs,

It depends on the framework you use, if you use Curl library in PHP, then the syntax is:

Code: Select all

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("If-Modified-Since: ".gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T',time())));

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping if you could provide with working example with a bit more detail.

Hi Ashishs,

A brief working example using guzzle http might look like as follows.

Code: Select all

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => '{simPRO-build-URL}
]);

$headers = [
    'Authorization'     => 'Bearer secure-access-token',
    'Accept'            => 'application/json',
    'If-Modified-Since' => 'Wed, 29 Apr 2020 01:10:00 GMT'
];

$response = $client->request(
    'GET',
    '/api/v1.0/companies/{companyID}/jobs/',
    [
        'headers' => $headers
    ]
);

print $response->getBody();

Thanks Muqeet.

In my instance, I'm using something like:

Code: Select all

$provider = (new \simPRO\RestClient\OAuth2\APIKey())
    ->withBuildURL($buildURL)
    ->withToken($token)
;

I pass the $provider object around when I make the API call. e.g.

Code: Select all

$myArray = $provider->fetchJSON($provider->fetchRequest($URL));

Where would I insert the If-Modified-Since header in my example ?

Hey Ashishs,

simPRO rest client is not actively maintained. The last update was made two years ago. It's just an example code repository to show how users can connect to simPRO rest API through different authorization types.

With that rest client you won't be able to send any headers to Provider object. If you really want to stick with the rest client you should look into the possibility of extending the Provider class to accept headers and pass it with $options array.
