Now that we have retrieved a list of resources let’s see how to access the details of one resource in particular. In the XML list you can see that each individual resource as a unique ID that you can use to get its details:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<customers>
<customer id="1" xlink:href="http://example.com/api/customers/1"/>
<customer id="2" xlink:href="http://example.com/api/customers/2"/>
</customers>
</prestashop>
We are going to use the same get() method but provide an additional id parameter
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| resource | customers |
| id | resource_id (int) |
<?php
try {
// creating webservice access
$webService = new PrestaShopWebservice('http://example.com/', 'ZR92FNY5UFRERNI3O9Z5QDHWKTP3YIIT', false);
// call to retrieve customer with ID 2
$xml = $webService->get([
'resource' => 'customers',
'id' => 2, // Here we use hard coded value but of course you could get this ID from a request parameter or anywhere else
]);
} catch (PrestaShopWebserviceException $ex) {
// Shows a message related to the error
echo 'Other error: <br />' . $ex->getMessage();
}
You will receive the same xml as if you request http://example.com/api/customers/1 in your browser:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

You can now loop through this XML object to get each customer field value, or access specific fields individually
<?php
$customerFields = $xml->customer->children();
$firstName = $customerFields->firstname;
$lastName = $customerFields->lastname;
echo 'Details for '. $firstName . ' ' . $lastName . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
foreach ($customerFields as $key => $value) {
echo $key . ': ' . $value . PHP_EOL;
}
