API Call Tutorial

There are 4 ingredients to a successful POOL API call.

Below are some coding examples with different languages in how to implement a POOL API call. The userid and token are not valid, so be sure to use your own API credentials when you attempt.

1. PHP API call example using Curl.

   <?php
       $userid = 3947023;
       $token = "92acv86j8zs9ah57nv829cw4g2m294s8";
   
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.promoonly.com/test");
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Authorization: Bearer ".base64_encode($userid.":".$token)));
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
   
       $result_json = curl_exec($ch);
       curl_close($ch);
   
       header("Content-type:application/json");
       echo $result_json;
   ?>
2. Python API call example

   #!/usr/bin/env python
   
   import requests
   import base64
   import urllib
   
   userid = 3947023
   token = "92acv86j8zs9ah57nv829cw4g2m294s8"
   
   b64_key = base64.b64encode("%s:%s" % (userid, token))
   headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer %s" % b64_key}
   result_return = requests.get(user_url, headers=headers)
   
   print(result_return.text)
3. Javascript API call example using jQuery

   function b64EncodeUnicode(str)
   {
       return btoa(encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/%([0-9A-F]{2})/g,
           function toSolidBytes(match, p1)
           {
               return String.fromCharCode('0x' + p1);
           }));
   }
   
   var userid = 3947023;
   var token = "92acv86j8zs9ah57nv829cw4g2m294s8";
   var auth_str = 'Bearer ' + b64EncodeUnicode(userid + ":" + token);
   
   $.ajax({
       type: "GET",
       url: "https://api.promoonly.com/test",
       headers: { "Authorization": auth_str },
       dataType: "json",
       success: function (data)
       {
           console.log(data);
       }
   });
