Please do not reply with this link. It is worthless.
I am looking for some examples for other tables to use. Right now I am trying to add the image record to the items we can add.

I think anybody that has tried to use this API would really like to see some more examples than the 101 stuff on the documentation page. I am sure somebody has a full list of what this API can do....

You can use "data:image" protocol to embed the image to the API request.

Something like this:

Code:

function base64_encode_image ($filename=string, $filetype=string) {

   if ($filename) {

       $imgbinary = fread(fopen($filename, "r"), filesize($filename));

       return 'data:image/' . $filetype . ';base64,' . base64_encode($imgbinary);

   }

}

...

'image' => array(

   'path' => 'im123.png',

   'content' => base64_encode_image(filePath, 'png') 

)

...

Unfortunately, it is impossible to create the full list of API commands and parameters as it depends on the installed modules.

Basically, REST API is a bridge between third-party applications and Doctrine repository classes added by X-Cart 5 and ready-made/custom modules. It allows you to run the insert and query methods of repository classes.

We are using raw URLs to add items to the cart.

Example
http://personal.x-cart.com/<site>/admin.php?target=RESTAPI&_key=<restkey>&_path=prod uct Will list items.

We need the path and maybe some field names for xc_product_images.
I have tried a few that would make sense but like most things with xcart they could not just make it the table name.

Thanks,
Jamie
