SuiteCRM 7.11.1 api v8 scope problem

English Language - Forum SuiteCRM Beta

hi,

i try to use the crm for a bigger project, so i have to test the api.
i decided to use the v8, because v4 is depricated.

the main problem is, i cant get the access token, if i add the default scopes from the example,
it the scope is empty, i get a token.


<?php

class apiRequest
{
    protected $token = null;
    protected $channel = null;
    protected $host = "https://example";
    protected $scope = null;

    function __construct()
    {
        $this->channel = curl_init();
    }

    function setScope($scope)
    {
        $this->scope = $scope;
    }

    function getToken()
    {
        $params = array(
            'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
            'client_id' => 'xxxxx',
            'client_secret' => 'yyyyy',
            'scope' => $this->scope
        );
        $url = '/Api/access_token';
        $data = $this->request($url, $params, 'POST');
        print_r($data);
        if ($data) {
            $this->token = $data->access_token;
        } else {
            echo "ERROR NO TOKEN\n";
        }
    }

    function request($urlPath, $params, $method = 'GET')
    {

        $header = array(
            'Content-type: application/vnd.api+json',
            'Accept: application/vnd.api+json',

        );
        if ($this->token) {

            $header[] = 'Authorization: Bearer ' . $this->token;
        }

        $postStr = json_encode($params);
        curl_setopt($this->channel, CURLOPT_URL, $this->host . $urlPath);
        curl_setopt($this->channel, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method);
        if ($method != 'GET') {
            curl_setopt($this->channel, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postStr);
        }

        curl_setopt($this->channel, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($this->channel, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
        $output = curl_exec($this->channel);
        $code = curl_getinfo($this->channel, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if ($code == 200) {
            return json_decode($output);
        } else {
            print_r(json_decode($postStr));
            print_r(json_decode($output));
        }

        return false;

    }

}

$api = new apiRequest();
#'standard:create standard:read standard:update standard:delete standard:delete standard:relationship:create standard:relationship:read standard:relationship:update standard:relationship:delete'
$api->setScope('standard:create');
$api->getToken();

#/Api/V8/modules/Account/2
$url = "/Api/V8/module/Accounts";

$params = array('data' => array('attributes' =>
    array('email_address' => 'email1@test.com',
        'email_address_caps' => 'EMAIL1@TEST.COM',
        'type' => 'EmailAddresses')));
$params = array();
#$ret = $api->request($url, $params, 'GET');
#print($ret);

return without scope:

[code]

stdClass Object

return with scope:

stdClass Object

    [error] => invalid_scope
    [message] => The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed
    [hint] => Check the `standard:create` scope
)

can someone help me to discover the problem?

thanks

Scopes

Scopes haven’t implemented yet

Best of luck!
I ended up using V41 after some fighting with attachments and email addresses and what not, and some short attempt on making custom api on V8.

I think i will do the same, 3 days already trying to custom version 8 and no concrete result

Hi,

I was using old version of SuiteCRM and was updating the data on CRM using REST API V4.1

Recently I updated the SuiteCRM to 7.11.1 version and REST API V4.1 is stopped working for this now.

I will have to wriite the REST API code for V8 version.

Can anyone please let me know how can I get the values for “client_id” and “client_secret” to get the access token for existing running SuiteCRM 7.11.1

Thanks in advance for response.

Admin - Oauth2 Clients and Tokens - New Client Credentials Client

and then the request could look something like this with php curl (CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS)
$oauth2_credentials = array(
‘client_id’ => $apikeyfromsuite,
‘client_secret’ => $yoursecret,
‘grant_type’ => ‘client_credentials’,
‘scope’ => ‘’,

  );

Thanks for your quick reply.

Should the URL of CRM always starts with https:// ?

8

It should, and I think it have to if you are going to use V8 API.

9

My CRM is running on http://

Shall I not be able to use V8 API.

I want to upgrade my SuiteCRM to latest generation of SuiteCRM versions. Since I am using REST API4.1 for my existing SuiteCRM and came to know that I have to use API v8 for latest generation of SuiteCRM versions, I installed SuiteCRM 7.11.3 with dummy data on our demo server running on https with PHP version 7.1.17.

After this, I generated “client_id” and “client_secret” for “Client Credentials” Grant type by navigating at “Admin” - “OAuth2 Clients and Tokens” - “New Client Credentials Client” on this.

Now I am checking the CRM API for Authentication with Client Credentials and trying to obtain a session using below code but neither getting any array or session nor any error for this.

$ch = curl_init();
$header = array(
‘Content-type: application/vnd.api+json’,
‘Accept: application/vnd.api+json’,
);
$postStr = json_encode(array(
‘grant_type’ => ‘client_credentials’,
‘client_id’ => ‘xxxxxxxxxx’,
‘client_secret’ => ‘xxxxxxxxxx’
));
$url = ‘https://url/Api/access_token’;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, ‘POST’);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postStr);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
$output = curl_exec($ch);

$tab = json_decode($output);
echo “

”; print_r($tab); echo “
” ;
curl_close($ch);

I have tried by adding “‘scope’ => ‘’” in $postStr as suggested in one of posts but did not return anything.

Can anyone please guide regarding this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I’d suggest to have a look at the v8-api-examples in ‘\Api\docs\postman’. I always try my requests with postman first, and if they are working you can export the request as php-code and rewrite/customize it.
