Create a php class file and write some curl operation, pass required header like snapdeal affiliate id, token no etc to authenticate your request.

snapdealApiClass.php

 class snapdealApi {
 
    private static $affiliateID;
 
    private static $token;
 
    private static $timeout = 45;
 
    //Set snapdeal affilate id and token at the time of class init.
 
     public function __construct($affiliateID, $token) {
       self::$affiliateID = $affiliateID;
       self::$token = $token;
      }
 
 
     public static function getData($url, $dataType) {
 
         try {
 
         	if(!isset($url) && !empty($url)) {
         		throw new exception("URL is not available.");
         	}
 
         	if(!isset($dataType) && !empty($dataType)) {
         		throw new exception("Please set datatype json or xml");
         	}
 
         	if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
                throw new exception("Curl is not available.");
         	}
         	 // Set header to make authentication
	        $headers = array(
	            'Accept:application/'.$dataType,
	            'Snapdeal-Affiliate-Id: '.self::$affiliateID,
	            'Snapdeal-Token-Id: '.self::$token
	            );
 
	        $cObj = curl_init();
	        curl_setopt($cObj, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	        curl_setopt($cObj, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
	        curl_setopt($cObj, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, self::$timeout);
	        curl_setopt($cObj, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
	        $result = curl_exec($cObj);
	        curl_close($cObj);
             // render result as per format.
 
              if($dataType == 'json') {
               return $result ? json_decode($result, true) : false;
             } else if($dataType == 'xml') {
                return $result ? new SimpleXMLElement($result) : false;
             } else {
              return false;
             }
 
         }  catch (Exception $e) {
            return $e->getMessage();
         }
      }
 
 
 }
?>




After that initialize snapdealApi class and call the getData function.
But before calling the function you have to pass two parameter url and datatype.

Pass these two parameter on getData function. Don’t forget to pass affilateID and token at the time of snapdealApi class initialization.

Here first i’ll fetch all snapdeal product categories and if you’ll click any category then you’ll able see all associated products of that category.

<?php
include_once("snapdealApiClass.php");
// Get affiliateID and token from https://affiliate.snapdeal.com
// Set snapdeal affiliateID and token
$affiliateID = 'YOUR_AFFILIATE_ID';
$token = 'YOUR_TOKEN';
$sdObj = new snapdealApi($affiliateID, $token);
$url =  'http://affiliate-feeds.snapdeal.com/feed/72967.json';
$result = snapdealApi::getData($url, 'json');
var_dump($result);
?>

    I have check my token id and affiliate id that is all fine, do i am missing anything

    please note i am working on localhost, i need to configure some domain in the snapdeal affiliate section ?

    please help

  7. There is some misconfiguration in your token or secret key. Categories fetched without token but for fetching products it is must to validate with valid token and secret key.

  11. Hi Rohit,

    I have integrated you snapdeal API, its not working now. please in your demo itself it is not working. May be the snapdeal server down.

    Regards,
    Maries

  16. Code is fine issue with snapdeal affiliate token that changed by mistake. Please double check is your affiliate token is valid and able to authenticate api calls.

  19. Hi..
    I am able to get response for product feed using this http://affiliate-feeds.snapdeal.com/feed/81714.json.but not able to get any response for urls that product feeds. example for Beauty_Personal_Care”: {
    “http://affiliate-feeds.snapdeal.com/feed/api/category/v1:586:643411205317?expiresAt=1470738600002&signature=ddopgoqnwotokvplyddj”.

    I am not getting an response. affliate id and token are correct. REST client just says empty response.500: Internal Server Error

    tried reaching snap deals team but could not.

    Thanks in advance.

  20. Snapdeal won’t pay at all.. After working with 6 months earned nearly 3000+ but they never paid. My affiliate id: 81165 . Waiting for payment nearly 3 months and mailed them so many times, they never care to reply. They are cheating webmasters. Flipcart is good. They always pays on time because they validates purchases quickly. Amazon never tried yet.

  24. Hi..Can you please share how to fetch best selling products , deal of the day and featured products using this Snapdeal API..?
