Errors Format

Errors format as below. All errors is returned inside "error"

Example 1

When submitting data for creating/updating

POST /v3/user HTTP/1.1
Host: https://api.eber.co
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

first_name=Tony&last_name=Stark12&email=tony+at+stark+com&display_name=Tony+Stark

Result:

HTTP 400

{
    "error": {
        "last_name": [
            "The last name may only contain letters."
        ],
        "email": [
            "The email format is invalid."
        ]
    }
}

Example 2

When retrieving/deleting data

GET /v3/user/123 HTTP/1.1
Host: https://api.eber.co
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Result:

HTTP Status: 404

{
    "error": {
        "exception": [
            "The requested resource was not found."
        ]
    }
}

Example in PHP

$username = ''; //api key
$password = ''; // leave empty, no password is needed
$data = ['display_name' => 'Cid']

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.eber.co/v3/public/user/1122');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username.':'.$password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);

$output = curl_exec($ch);

Example in ASP

<%
Dim username: username = "" ' api key
Dim password: password = "" ' leave empty, no password is needed
Dim data: data = "display_name=Cid"

Set xmlHttp = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlHttp.Open "POST", "https://api.eber.co/v3/user/23", False,username,password
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "User-Agent", "asp httprequest"
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
xmlHttp.Send data
responseData = xmlHttp.responseText
' response data
response.write(responseData)
' end response data
xmlHttp.abort()
set xmlHttp = Nothing
%>

Example in ASP.NET

GET

string username = ""; // API key
string password = ""; // leave empty, no password is needed
string url = "https://api.eber.co/v3/public/user/1122"; //this is a working API endpoint

WebRequest myReq = WebRequest.Create(url);
myReq.Method = "GET";
string usernamePassword = username + ":" + password;
UTF8Encoding enc = new UTF8Encoding();
myReq.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(enc.GetBytes(usernamePassword)));

try
{
	// Status 200
	WebResponse wr = myReq.GetResponse();
	Stream receiveStream = wr.GetResponseStream();
	StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);
	string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
	Response.Write(content);
}
catch(WebException e)
{
	// Status 404,405,500
	using (WebResponse response = e.Response)
	{
		HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse) response;
		using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
			Response.Write(streamReader.ReadToEnd());
	}

}

POST

string username = ""; // API key
string password = ""; // leave empty, no password is needed
string url = ""; //replace by API endpoint
string data = "display_name=ALEX&phone=91737740&phone_code=SG&business_id=65";

WebRequest myReq = WebRequest.Create(url);
myReq.Method = "POST";

myReq.ContentLength = data.Length;
myReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

string usernamePassword = username + ":" + password;

UTF8Encoding enc = new UTF8Encoding();

myReq.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(enc.GetBytes(usernamePassword)));

using (Stream ds = myReq.GetRequestStream())
{
	ds.Write(enc.GetBytes(data), 0, data.Length);
}

try
{
	// Status 200
	WebResponse wr = myReq.GetResponse();
	Stream receiveStream = wr.GetResponseStream();
	StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(receiveStream, Encoding.UTF8);
	string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
	Response.Write(content);
}
catch(WebException e)
{
	// Status 404,405,500
	using (WebResponse response = e.Response)
	{
		HttpWebResponse httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse) response;
		using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
			Response.Write(streamReader.ReadToEnd());
	}

}
