Hi Jonathan
To recap,
I’m using the PHP OAuth2 Client library from Github as mentioned in your
doco at FreeAgent Developer Dashboard.
Once the authorisation has been done, you have a object that you can call
the fetch method on as follows:
$object->fetch(url, request params, method, header params)
The request parameters are what we appear to be having a problem with
- If I have a single dimension array, as per
array(4) { [“bank_account”]=> string(48)
“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/bank_account/147047” [“paid_invoice”]=>
string(45) “https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices/4924409” [“dated_on”]=>
string(10) “2012-09-08” [“gross_value”]=> string(5) “12.00” }
the response provides a failure ‘bank_transaction or bank_account required’.
- If I have a multi dimension array as per
array(1) { [“bank_transaction_explanation”]=> array(4) { [“bank_account”]=>
string(48) “https://api.freeagent.com/v2/bank_account/147047”
[“paid_invoice”]=> string(45)
“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices/4924409” [“dated_on”]=> string(10)
“2012-09-08” [“gross_value”]=> string(5) “12.00” } }
I’ll get a ‘Notice: Array to string conversion’ warning from OAuth and a
500 Server Error.
- If I serialise the embedded array as per
array(1) { [“bank_transaction_explanation”]=> string(186)
“{“bank_account”:“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/bank_account/147047”,“paid_invoice”:“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices/4924409”,“dated_on”:“2012-09-08”,“gross_value”:“12.00”}”
}
I get a 500 Server Error
- If I serialise the whole array as per
string(219)
“{“bank_transaction_explanation”:{“bank_account”:“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/bank_account/147047”,“paid_invoice”:“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/invoices/4924409”,“dated_on”:“2012-09-08”,“gross_value”:“12.00”}}”
I get a 'Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘OAuth2\InvalidArgumentException’
with message ‘You need to give parameters as array if you want to give the
token within the URI.’ error
Could you perhaps just verify what your API expects for an insert bank
transaction call, because in reading your documentation it really doesn’t
look like I need a multidimensional parameter list - it just looks like
that is what is returned in the response.
Kind regards

Hi Iain,
Thanks for that. I’m at a bit of a loss here, as I’m not familiar with the
php OAuth library. To my reading, the library requires an array of params,
but when handed a multidimensional array, it complains that it’s not an
array? To confirm, the following fails with a “you need to give parameters
as an array…” error, yes?
$postarray = array(“bank_transaction_explanation” => array(“bank_account”
=> … ) );

Yep, already tried that
$postarray=json_encode(array(“bank_transaction_explanation” =>
array(“bank_account” => “https://api.freeagent.com/v2/bank_account/147047”,
“paid_invoice” => $invoice, “dated_on” => “2012-09-08”, “gross_value” =>
$gross )));
Which gives :
string(257)
“{“bank_transaction_explanation”:”{"bank_account":"https:\/\/
api.freeagent.com
\/v2\/bank_account\/147047","paid_invoice":"https:\/\/
api.freeagent.com
\/v2\/invoices\/4924409","dated_on":"2012-09-08","gross_value":"12.00"}“}”
Then I get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘OAuth2\InvalidArgumentException’ with
message ‘You need to give parameters as array if you want to give the token
within the URI.’

Hi Iain,
The correct JSON for what you’re trying to do is:
{ “bank_account_explanation”: {“bank_account”: … } }
From reading your code, it looks like what you want is probably along
the lines of:
json_encode(array(“bank_account_explanation” => array(“bank_account” =>
…)));
I.e. JSON-encoding the whole nested array. Can you try that and let me
know how you get on?
