 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);
?>
