Magento – How to get a Product ID after a product post via REST api to update product category

apicategoryproductrest

I want to insert products from a csv-file into the Magento DB via the REST API.
First I try to update one single product.

The product is inserted into the db but this product needs to be assigned to a category.

How do I get the productID from the result?

// post method
$restClient->setMethod('POST');
$restClient->setRawBody(json_encode($data));

//Make REST request
$response = $restClient->send();

Because I have to make another call for the catagory.

$restClient->setUri($apiURL . '/products/' . $id . '/categories');
$restClient->setRawBody(); //will be filled with the categoryID

When I dump the $response, the content is protected and gives me a lot of questionmarks.
When I say: var_dump($response->getBody());
The body is empty = ''

I don't think it would be necessary to make another call for getting the last product update/insert

The answer is simply in the $response.

echo $response->getBody();

$headers = $response->getHeaders();
$location = $headers->toArray();
$product_id = $location['Location'];

return $product_id;

Magento 1.7 – How to Integrate Magento REST API with Third Party

You can find a good explanation of the Magento REST API here. There is also an example on how to retrieve the products as a logged in customer. I will reproduce it here, to make the answer longer.

<?php
/**
 * Example of products list retrieve using Customer account via Magento REST API. OAuth authorization is used
 */
$callbackUrl = "http://yourhost/oauth_customer.php";
$temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl = "http://magentohost/oauth/initiate?oauth_callback=" . urlencode($callbackUrl);
$adminAuthorizationUrl = 'http://magentohost/oauth/authorize';
$accessTokenRequestUrl = 'http://magentohost/oauth/token';
$apiUrl = 'http://magentohost/api/rest';
$consumerKey = 'yourconsumerkey';
$consumerSecret = 'yourconsumersecret';

session_start();
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && isset($_SESSION['state']) && $_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
    $_SESSION['state'] = 0;
}
try {
    $authType = ($_SESSION['state'] == 2) ? OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION : OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI;
    $oauthClient = new OAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, $authType);
    $oauthClient->enableDebug();

    if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && !$_SESSION['state']) {
        $requestToken = $oauthClient->getRequestToken($temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl);
        $_SESSION['secret'] = $requestToken['oauth_token_secret'];
        $_SESSION['state'] = 1;
        header('Location: ' . $adminAuthorizationUrl . '?oauth_token=' . $requestToken['oauth_token']);
        exit;
    } else if ($_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
        $oauthClient->setToken($_GET['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
        $accessToken = $oauthClient->getAccessToken($accessTokenRequestUrl);
        $_SESSION['state'] = 2;
        $_SESSION['token'] = $accessToken['oauth_token'];
        $_SESSION['secret'] = $accessToken['oauth_token_secret'];
        header('Location: ' . $callbackUrl);
        exit;
    } else {
        $oauthClient->setToken($_SESSION['token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
        $resourceUrl = "$apiUrl/products";
        $oauthClient->fetch($resourceUrl);
        $productsList = json_decode($oauthClient->getLastResponse());
        print_r($productsList);
    }
} catch (OAuthException $e) {
    print_r($e);
}

Magento 2 – Unable to Update Product Data via REST API

The problem is the route. Using /V1/products/{SKU} will update a store view, but not All store views. And since Price is a global setting, then nothing is change.

Changing the route to /all/V1/products/{SKU} fixed the problem.
