Help needed, set up an API for a China supplier or import their CSV

[sounds]

Hi,

 

I'm interested in using a China supplier to add their product line to my PrestaShop,

They provide basic instructions about their API example to retrieve data from php.

I can download a csv file by selecting categories of products on their site, but don't know how import this correctly.

Here's the example of their API call, I don't know what to  do with it but want to learn a bit so i can do this with other suppliers.

 

<?php

$API_KEY = '[spam-filter]@_PUT_API_KEY_HERE_[spam-filter]@';

$url = "https://secure.site.com/api/getProductDetails.php";

$data = array(

'key' => $API_KEY,

'currency' => 'USD',

'model_code' => 'CVNZ-9470-Black-2GEN',

);

$content = json_encode($data);

 

echo "<blockquote>"; var_dump($content); echo "</blockquote>";

 

$curl = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-type: application/json"));

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$json_response = curl_exec($curl);

$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

 

if ( $status != 200 ) {

die("Error: call to URL $url failed with status $status, response $json_response, curl_error " . curl_error($curl) . ", curl_errno " . curl_errno($curl));

}

 

curl_close($curl);

$response = json_decode($json_response, true);

 

echo "<blockquote>"; var_dump($response); echo "</blockquote>";

 

?>

Also, if you're using API's from different stores, would you need a new multistore for each api or can multiple API's be used in one Prestashop?

Thanks in advance.
