The API
What is this api?

An API(Application Program Interface), is a way of communication with a system both internally and externally. With Prometheus this allows you to do the following things currently:

Add a package to a user(Using Steam64 or SteamID) Get donation goal info

The API has a few things you can designate:

hash - The hash you generate above if you enable API. This has to be kept a secret. Do not give it to anyone else.

action - The performed action

steamid - The users steamid

package - The package

How do I use it?

The API is accessed by typing this into your browser:

 http://yourprometheus.com/api.php?hash=HASH&action=ACTION

Not all actions require a hash, for instance the getGoal action does not require a hash and can be accessed directly. The API returns the response in **JSON**. It can be securely communicated with using **cURL**.

List of actions
Api calls
Action getGoal assignPackage addCredits
Hash No Yes Yes
Properties None steamid, package steamid, amount
Returns error, cur, total, goal error, msg error, msg
Examples

getGoal Example

getGoalExample.php

 <?php

       $get = file_get_contents('http://marcuz.eu/ipn/api.php?action=getGoal');
       $array = json_decode($get, true);
      
       if($array['error'] == 0){
               $percentage = $array['perc'];
               $total = $array['total'];
               $goal = $array['goal'];
               $currency = $array['cur'];
              
               echo '
                      Goal: '.$goal.' '.$currency.'
Received: '.$total.' '.$currency.'
Percentage: '.$percentage.'% '; }  ?>

assignPackage Example

assignPackageExample.php

 <?php

       // Replace everything in uppercase letters with your own information
       $source = 'http://yourprometheus.com/api.php?hash=YOUR_HASH&action=assignPackage&package=PACKAGE_ID&steamid=STEAM64_OR_STEAMID';

       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $source);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,4);
       $data = curl_exec($ch);
       $error = curl_error($ch);
       curl_close ($ch);
              
       if($data === false) {
               // Display an error if there is any
               die('Curl error: ' . $error);
       }
      
       // Decode the data response
       $array = json_decode($data, true);
      
       // Display an error if there is any
       if($array['error'] == 1){
               die($array['msg']);
       }
      
       // Display success message
       if($array['error'] == 0){
               echo($array['msg']);
       }
