I'm trying to test out the SugarCRM REST API, running latest version of CE (6.0.1). It seems that whenever I do a query, the API returns "null", nothing else. If I omit the parameters, then the API returns the API description (which the documentation says it should).
I'm trying to perform a login, passing as parameter the method (login), input_type and response_type (json) and rest_data (JSON encoded parameters). The following code does the query:
$api_target = "http://example.com/sugarcrm/service/v2/rest.php";
$parameters = json_encode(array(
"user_auth" => array(
"user_name" => "admin",
"password" => md5("adminpassword"),
),
"application_name" => "Test",
"name_value_list" => array(),
));
$postData = http_build_query(array(
"method" => "login",
"input_type" => "json",
"response_type" => "json",
"rest_data" => $parameters
));
echo $parameters . "\n";
echo $postData . "\n";
echo file_get_contents($api_target, false,
stream_context_create(array(
"http" => array(
"method" => "POST",
"header" => "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
"content" => $postData
)
))) . "\n";
I've tried different variations of parameters and using username instead of user_name, and all provide the same result, just a response "null" and that's it.
