I’m currently in the process of integrating an external API into my Concrete CMS project, and I’ve encountered some challenges. Despite following the API documentation carefully, I’m experiencing difficulties in establishing a successful connection and retrieving the desired data.
I’ve double-checked my API keys, endpoints, and authentication methods, but the issue persists. Has anyone else faced a similar problem when integrating an external API with Concrete CMS? I would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or potential workarounds.
You’ll need to be a lot more specific with your issue here.
I’ve integrated dozens of different APIs with Concrete (and other systems), and each has their purposes, approaches, technologies, quirks and challenges.
- what API are you integrating and how do you go about working with it?
- what are you looking to achieve?
- what error messages are you getting, and how can you tell it’s not working?
- what way are you building the integration, is is through a custom package, overrides, etc?
- what libraries does the API need, and can you confirm you’ve got them installed?
- can you confirm that you’re not blocked by networking/firewalls?
- are you using curl to perform requests, and do you have that setup and enabled on your server?
- are you developing locally, or on a public server?
- have you tried working with the API through something else, like using Postman, or a simpler PHP script?
