What is Plus Exchange (pex)

Plus Exchange is a class that provides you the possibility to communicate with your EQdkp Plus using REST. It's possible to signup for Raids or getting a list of upcoming events.

Creating an own exchange-module

Every exchange-module must have an unique name!

Sample exchange-module

<?php
if (!defined('EQDKP_INC')){
	die('Do not access this file directly.');
}

if (!class_exists('exchange_check_session')){
	class exchange_check_session {

		public function post_check_session($params, $arrBody){
			$status = 0;
			if (isset($arrBody['sid'])){
				$result = $this->user->check_session($arrBody['sid']);
				if ($result != ANONYMOUS){
					$status = 1;
				} else {
					$status = 0;
				}
			}
			return array('valid' => $result);
		}
	}
}
?>

Our Example has the Name "check_session". The class has to be named "exchange_", followed by the module, name, e.g. "exchange_check_session".

You could make an REST-Request with 4 different methods:

  • GET - just receive data, don't use when sending additional data like XML
  • POST - update data, used when sendig additional data liks XML, as seen in the example above
  • PUT - insert new data
  • DELETE - delete data

For each of this four methods, you can create on own function, e.g. "post_check_session" if you want to use the POST-Method, or "get_check_session" when using the GET-Method, ... $params will contain all GET- and POST-Parameter, $body contains the body, like an XML-Feed with data (not possible when using a GET-Method). Returnvalue is an array containing the data you want to send back. If you want to send back an error, use "return $pex->error('Your error message');".

Folder

Put all exchange-modules into the folder

root/core/exchange/

or if you have a plugin, into

root/plugins/PLUGINNAME/exchange/

Perform Methods

To perform Methods, you need the following information:

  • URL to the user's EQdkp Plus, e.g. http://domain.com/eqdkp07/. Split it into Host (= Domain, without protocol and path)and the Path, e.g. Host (<<HOST>>): domain.com, Path (<<Path>>): /eqdkp07/. Normally, a REST-Class would do that for you.
  • The Name of the exchange-module, in this example "rest_dummy"
Index Description
Name rest_dummy
Description Just an example, it's not implemented ;)
Method POST
URL-Params
  • dummyid (integer)
Sample Call
POST <<PATH>>/api.php?function=rest_dummy&dummyid=42 HTTP/1.1
Host: <<HOST>>
Content-Length: 53
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8
Connection: Close

<request><text>This is a dummy Text</text></request>
Sample Return on success
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response>
  <status>1</status>
  <message>Everything ok</message>
</response>
Sample Return if an error occurs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response>
  <status>0</status>
  <error>Error Message</error>
</response>

You will always get an status tag, so you can always check if an error occured or not.

Output Format

Default output format is XML. If you want JSON, use URL-Parameter format=json.

Sample Call
GET <<PATH>>/api.php?function=user_chars&format=json HTTP/1.1
Host: <<HOST>>
Connection: Close
Sample Return
{"chars":{"char:79":{"id":79,"name":"Kultschack","main":1,"class":"4","classname":"Magier","race":"10","racename":"Blutelf","roles":{"role:3":{"id":3,"name":"DD Fernkampf","default":0}}},"char:114":{"id":114,"name":"Bluebellow","main":0,"class":"1","classname":"Todesritter","race":"5","racename":"Troll","roles":{"role:2":{"id":2,"name":"Tank","default":0},"role:4":{"id":4,"name":"DD Nahkampf","default":0}}}},"status":1}

Also, LUA format is available.

Sample Call
GET <<PATH>>/api.php?function=user_chars&format=lua HTTP/1.1
Host: <<HOST>>
Connection: Close
Sample Return
response = {["chars"] = {[1] = {["id"] = "1",["name"] = "aaaa",["name_export"] = "aaaa-Antonidas",["main"] = "1",["class"] = "1",["classname"] = "Todesritter",["roles"] = {[2] = {["id"] = "2",["name"] = "Tank",["default"] = "0"},[4] = {["id"] = "4",["name"] = "Melee",["default"] = "1"}},["raidgroups"] = {[1] = {["id"] = "1",["name"] = "Default",["default"] = "1",["color"] = "#000000",["status"] = "1"}},["profiledata"] = {["faction"] = "",["race"] = "2",["class"] = "1",["talent1"] = "0",["talent2"] = "0",["guild"] = "",["servername"] = "Antonidas",["gender"] = "male",["level"] = "0",["health_bar"] = "0",["second_bar"] = "0",["second_name"] = "rage",["prof1_name"] = "trade_alchemy",["prof1_value"] = "0",["prof2_name"] = "trade_alchemy",["prof2_value"] = "0"}},[2] = {["id"] = "2",["name"] = "Bbbbb",["name_export"] = "Bbbbb-Maj'Dul",["main"] = "0",["class"] = "",["classname"] = "Unbekannt",["roles"] = {},["raidgroups"] = {[1] = {["id"] = "1",["name"] = "Default",["default"] = "1",["color"] = "#000000",["status"] = "1"}},["profiledata"] = {}},[3] = {["id"] = "3",["name"] = "ccccc",["name_export"] = "ccccc-Maj'Dul",["main"] = "0",["class"] = "",["classname"] = "Unbekannt",["roles"] = {},["raidgroups"] = {[1] = {["id"] = "1",["name"] = "Default",["default"] = "1",["color"] = "#000000",["status"] = "1"}},["profiledata"] = {}}},["status"] = "1"}

Authentification Functions

Login-Flow (until 2.2)

Please note that since 2.3 the API access is only possible with the API Key method.

Exchange login flow.jpg

  • User has to insert his Username and Passwort
  • The App get's the User-Salt from the EQdkp Plus
  • You create with the Salt and the given Password a sha512-Hash which can be saved on the client
  • User-Login with Username and saved hash
  • You'll get an session-ID and a date until the session is valid and has to be renewed
  • With this session-ID, you can use the exchange-functions like posting a shout

Getting Salt

Index Description
Name get_salt
Description Returns the user's salt
Method POST
URL-Params none
XML-Data
  • user (string; Username)
Sample Call
POST <<PATH>>/api.php?function=get_salt HTTP/1.1
Host: <<HOST>>
Content-Length: 36
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8
Connection: Close
 
<request><user>root</user></request>
Sample Return
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response><status>1</status><salt>ZjU4MzYxYTMxMzA2MzI1OTQwODg5ZGE=</salt></response>
Error Return
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response><status>0</status><error>user not found</error></response>

The salt is returned base64-encodet, so you've to decode it. With the encoded salt, you can create the hash with following method:

$hash = hash('sha512', $salt.$password);

This Hash can be saved on the client, but never the clean password!!!

Using API Keys (since 2.1)

Core API Token

The Core API token can be found at the ACP >> Raids >> Data-Export. This Token has access to almost every exchange module (except the ones where a User is needed, e.g. raid signup). If you use this token, set the type of the token to "api".

Personal User Token

Every user has an own API Token. With these tokens, the whole Login process for Plus Exchange is not necessary anymore. The user token can be found at the personal user settings. If you use this token, set the type of the token to "user".

Passing the Token

You can pass the Tokens by two ways:

  • Pass them as a GET/POST parameter atoken and atype:
.../api.php?function=points&atoken=5e4e4b620d4b2afaec7b6192472f81b9bddb592a1914589c&atype=api
  • Pass them as a Request Header:
X-Custom-Authorization: token=5e4e4b620d4b2afaec7b6192472f81b9bddb592a1914589c&type=api

or

Authorization: token=5e4e4b620d4b2afaec7b6192472f81b9bddb592a1914589c&type=api

As of EQdkp Plus 2.3, specifying the Token Type is not needed anymore. Therefore, you can directly pass the Token at the header:

Authorization: 5e4e4b620d4b2afaec7b6192472f81b9bddb592a1914589c

Core Exchange Modules

The Exchange Modules are divided into read and write modules. Read modules can need authentication, write modules require authentication.

Read Modules

All core read modules can be found here: /Read

Write Modules

All core read modules can be found here: /Write
