Planyo » Pomoc » API

The Planyo API lets you perform advanced functions and automate the Planyo reservation system (e.g. import resource data and photos into your site, make automated reservations). To use the API you must be familiar with a programming language such as PHP, Java, Ruby or ASP.NET.

Authentication

Click here to get your API key. You will need it to authenticate all calls made to the API

Request format

At this time the API uses only the REST request format: a simple GET or POST HTTP action. The REST end point URL is: http://api.planyo.com/rest/

Here's a sample test request: http://api.planyo.com/rest/?method=api_test

Required parameters

All API requests require the following parameters:
method - this is the method being called
api_key - your API key (note: the API key is required for all methods except api_test). Click here to get your key

Optional parameters

version - you can optionally specify the version of the API that you're using. Use the value of latest or simply skip this parameter to use the latest API version. The latest version is: 0.2
language - by specifying a 2-letter (ISO 639-1) language code (all capital letters e.g. EN, DE, FR, ES, IT) you can change the language of the text values returned in the data key

Response format

At this time Planyo API only uses JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) as the response format. This is one of the most popular data formats (more info about this format at json.org) fully supported by languages like PHP or even JavaScript. The response uses a named array for the output data with text-based keys.

Successful responses

Here's a sample response (returned by the api_test method):
{"data":"API Test Response","response_code":0,"response_message":"Method api_test executed successfully."}

Successful responses will contain the response data in the data key. This is usually another named array but in the response above, it's a simple string 'API Test response'.

The response_code key will always contain the value of 0 (success) and response_message will say Method xyz executed successfully.

Failure responses

Failure responses will contain one of the following failure codes in the response_code key:
1 - authentication error (invalid API key) or invalid method
3 - invalid input data
4 - other error

response_message will contain the error message (in English)
