GET

To List your current indexes with ‘standard’ flavor use a GET request to the List Indexes API.


$url_listindexes = 'https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api/sync/listindexes/v1';
$params1 = 'flavor=standard&apikey='.$apikey;
$response = file_get_contents($url_listindexes .'?'.$params1);
if($response) { $json = json_decode($response); if($json){ $indexes = $json->index; } return $indexes; }

POST

POST multipart/form-data with native PHP


function send_multipart_post_message($sync_or_async, $json1){
$url = "https://api.idolondemand.com/1/api/".$sync_or_async."/addtotextindex/v1";
// using WordPress custom functions to retrieve index and apikey
$index1 = wp_idolondemand_get_setting('index');
$apikey = wp_idolondemand_get_setting('apikey');
$eol = "\r\n";
$data = '';
$mime_boundary=md5(time());
//
$data .= '--' . $mime_boundary . $eol;
$data .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="apikey"' . $eol . $eol;
$data .= $apikey . $eol;
$data .= '--' . $mime_boundary . $eol;
$data .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="index"' . $eol . $eol;
$data .= $index1 . $eol;
$data .= '--' . $mime_boundary . $eol;
$data .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="json"; filename="allposts.json"' . $eol;
$data .= 'Content-Type: application/json' . $eol;
$data .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . $eol . $eol;
$data .= base64_encode($json1) . $eol;
// alternatively use 8bit encoding
//$data .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit' . $eol . $eol;
//$data .= $json1 . $eol;
$data .= "--" . $mime_boundary . "--" . $eol . $eol;
$params = array('http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=' . $mime_boundary,
'content' => $data
//'proxy' => 'tcp://localhost:8888' //use with Charles to catch http traffic
