Instawallet API

[hamburger]

Hi,

Do anyone have an example in PHP to a make a payment with the instawallet API?

This is the code that I use and it result in a 404: Not Found instead of the expected response such as {"successful": true, "message": "Sent 0.01 BTC to 14Z1mazY4HfysZyMaKudFr63EwHqQT2njz", "message_code": 0}

Code:

$url = "https://www.instawallet.org/api/v1/w/$wallet/payment?address=$address&amount=$amount";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Opera/9.23 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,  2);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;

More info on the API is available here: https://www.instawallet.org/static/api.html?v=e2406

Thank you,

have you double-checked the $wallet var to make sure it contains what you expect? (not empty?)

just before your curl, echo or log $url and take a look at exactly how it's been formed.

also: it says on that instawallet page that the url you're trying to connect to should be done with a POST. so look at curl options and CURLOPT_POST:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

try this:

Code:

$url = "https://www.instawallet.org/api/v1/w/$wallet/payment";
$postdata=array('address'=>$address,'amount'=>$amount);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Opera/9.23 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
