The following php script is hosted on our server and can be tested using the following URL https://api.stanleystella.com/sample/test.php

Parameters can be passed as follows

• user (mandatory) : your user name

• password (mandatory) : your password

• dataset (optional) : can be "products" or "product_images". If none specified, product_images is called.
  

• stylecode (optional) : the style you wish to filter the list on (ex : STTM522)

• colorcode (optional) : the color you wish to filter the call on (ex : C001)

• languagecode (optional) : the language you wish to extract (ex: en_EN, fr_FR, nl_BE, it_IT, de_DE, es_ES). only works for the product call
  

URL Syntax will thus be

https://api.stanleystella.com/sample/test.php?user=user@domain.com&password=pwwd&dataset=products&stylecode=STTM522&colorcode=C001&languagecode=fr_FR

You can test your connection with a tool like Postman.

In the address bar, select the POST method and type the URL you want to access.

In the Body, type the call as shown below (make sure to correctly set db_name, user and password parameters)

At the right part click on the drop-down arrow and change Text to JSON (application/json)

 

The above call will result in the following response
