verify_ssl = false; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The exmaples below are divided into the same 3 categories (Tournaments, Participants, Matches) as they are presented in the API documentation (http://challonge.com/api). Each example contains two methods: The first one uses the makeCall() method used to make direct API calls. This method offers the most control, but is the most complex method in this API wrapper. The second method in each example is the equivalent "alias" method that builds the corresponding makeCall() method for you. All you need to do is pass in the correct parameters. The alias methods are eaiser to use and are more human-readable. Doesn't matter if you use makeCall(), alias methods, or a combination of the two in your application as they all return the same results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ List of available alias methods: getTournaments($params) getTournament($tournament_id, $params) createTournament($params) updateTournament($tournament_id, $params) deleteTournament($tournament_id) publishTournament($tournament_id, $params) startTournament($tournament_id, $params) resetTournament($tournament_id, $params) getParticipants($tournament_id) getParticipant($tournament_id, $participant_id, $params) createParticipant($tournament_id, $params) updateParticipant($tournament_id, $participant_id, $params) deleteParticipant($tournament_id, $participant_id) randomizeParticipants($tournament_id) getMatches($tournament_id, $params) getMatch($tournament_id, $match_id) updateMatch($tournament_id, $match_id, $params) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All methods that result in API calls to the server return either a SimpleXML object containing the results of the call or false. If false is returned, look at the public errors array for errors. Example: $t = $c->getTournaments(); if ($t == false) { foreach ($c->errors as $error) { echo $error."\n"; // Output the error message } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The public instance variable status_code holds the status code returned from the last API call Example: $t = $c->getTournaments(); echo $c->status_code; // If all goes well, this will be 200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The public instance variable result holds the returned value of the last API call. Useful for debuging if the method you call returns false and you want to check if any data is actually returned from the server. Examples: $t = $c->getTournaments(); $last_result = $c->result; // In this case, $last_result == $t $t = $c->createTournament( array("tournament[name]" => "My Tourney") ); // We didn't provide enough data, so $t is false // We could look through the $c->errors array to see what we're missing, or we could look at the actual // return value from the server print_r( $c->result ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTES: In the below examples, when you see $tournament_id, it can ether be a number or the URL of the tournament. See the official documentation for more details. In the below examples, $params is an associative array ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ makeCall() USAGE: makeCall($path="", $params=array(), $method); $path - String: URL path of the call. Mirrors the API documentation's URLs after the https://challonge.com/api/ Examples: "tournaments/$tournament_id" "tournaments/$tournament_id/matches" $params - Associative Array: Key-value pairs of parameters to sent to the server $method - String: HTTP methods. get (default), put, post, or delete */ // TOURNAMENT EXAMPLES // ************************ // Get all tournaments you created // http://challonge.com/api/tournaments $tournaments = $c->makeCall('tournaments');
