FoxyCart Hypermedia API Starter

This tool is designed to jumpstart your developement with the FoxyCart Hypermedia API.

Production Access Note

The API is currently in a limited private beta so you won't be able to get production access for your API Client without working out the details directly with the FoxyCart API support team. If you've already worked out those details, you can create your client and then request that they turn on production access for your client. Otherwise, you can use this tool with the API sandbox which will allow you to practice using the API and get familiar with it.

Setup

1. Make a copy of fc-config-sample.php and call it fc-config.php. Load your database configuration settings into this file. The db is needed to hold and manage your OAuth tokens.
2. Go to fc-setup.php and create your client. The redirect_uri field should point to the fc-setup.php location. If your connection is on localhost this is not a problem. You can use the fc-client-edit.php file to change this later.
3. If using production, send the ID# of the new client to FoxyCart and ask for production access.
4. They will send back a Client ID and Client Secret. Load that information into fc-setup.php and save.
5. Now load up index.php and start exploring the API.

Switching to Sandbox

By default, this is set to connect to production. If you want to create a client on the sandbox instead, switch the $uri field in fc-setup.php and fc-includes/foxycart-check-tokens.php. You also need to uncomment a line in the __construct() function of fc-includes/foxycart-api.php.

Connection Trouble?

If you are having trouble connecting to the FoxyCart servers, your SSL certificate store may not be up to date. The easy way around this is to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to FALSE in these three locations:

• fc-setup.php
• fc-includes/foxycart-check-tokens.php
• fc-includes/foxycart-api.php
