files.userinfo
Deprecated: The files.userinfo API retrieves the user defined name and description
of a specific file. These properties allow users to define more meaningful
names than a file name can provide, and save descriptions about the file.
Example Code (PHP)
$request = array(
'command' => 'files.userinfo',
'api_key' => 'APX4GKLM0RKQLSP2FBO1ROPKSSW47DZE',
'timestamp' => time(),
'cdn' => 158,
'path' => 'sestore4/jb/movie.mp4',
);
//Create request signature
$json_request = json_encode($request);
$sig = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', $json_request,
'8fc8c48da81e6a2a06a9556379bf798af508dc0792497c678b4c3532ba8b637f', true));
$request['signature'] = $sig;
$json_request = json_encode($request);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.scaleengine.net/stable/'); // Set the URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); // Perform a POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // If not set, curl prints output to the browser
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); // If set, curl returns headers as part of the data stream
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('json' => $json_request)); //'Json' string or 'PHP' serialized return
//If your PHP host does not have a proper SSL certificate bundle, you will need to turn off SSL Certificate Verification
//This is dangerous, and should only be done temporarily until a proper certificate bundle can be installed
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
$response = curl_exec($ch); //Execute the API Call
if (!$response) {
die('Failed to connect to ScaleEngine API');
}
