File Upload Egnyte API

Question

I am trying to upload a file to an account via Egnyte API. The CURL command says:

curl -v --request POST\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer 2v8q2bc6uvxtgghwmwvnvcp4"\
  --upload-file\
 ~/Desktop/test.txt https://acme.egnyte.com/pubapi/v1/fs-content/Shared/Documents/test.txt

Can someone, tell how can I post it via PHP and get the JSON response as returned by the CURL call?

Answer 1

I finally resolved it. Apologies for posting the solution lat. Below, is the function I created to upload the files to the server:

require('functions/egnyte/lib/curl.php');
require('functions/egnyte/lib/curl_response.php');
require('functions/egnyte/EgnyteClient.php');

function doUpload() {
    $domain = 'yourdomain';
    $folder = '/Shared/our folder name/';

    $oauthToken = 'your oauth token';
    $fileBinaryContents = file_get_contents($_FILES['filedata']['tmp_name']);
    $fileName = $_FILES['filedata']['name'];

    // instantiate an Egnyte Client with the domain and oAuth token for the user with which the upload will be performed
    $egnyte = new EgnyteClient($domain, $oauthToken);

    // perform the upload and get the response from the server
    $response = $egnyte->uploadFile($folder, $fileName, $fileBinaryContents);
}

Please do let me know n case of any issues/problems if anyone faces. I can help out.

FYI:

Answer 2

Egnyte has sample code showing how to upload a file using PHP and curl available here: https://developers.egnyte.com/samplecode.

Take a look specifically at the EgnyteClient.php file in the Anonymous PHP Uploader sample.

The curl request you posted is the sample from the website and is intended to be run from the command line. To use it on your domain, make sure you do the following:

• Change the token 2v8q2bc6uvxtgghwmwvnvcp4 to the one you obtain from the authentication endpoint.
• Update references to the sample 'acme' domain to your Egnyte domain.
• Change the path for the file you are uploading and the path for where you want it to be uploaded in Egnyte.
