http-api-curl-options-custom.md

You can use the http_api_curl hook to change timeout settings, headers, etc, when downloading a feed via URL with WP All Import.

There are example snippets below that you can modify for your use case. This code needs to be saved in your child theme's functions.php file, or in a plugin like Code Snippets.

Examples

Basic Authentication (base64_encode)

add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'example_set_curl_auth', 10, 3 );
function example_set_curl_auth( $handle, $r, $url ) {
	if ( strpos( $url, 'api.example.com/feed' ) !== false ) {
		$user = 'yourusername';
		$pass = 'yourpassword';
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ':' . $pass );
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180 );
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 180 );
		
	}
}

Change timeout settings and follow redirect for Google Sheets

add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'example_set_curl_for_gdocs', 10, 3 );
function example_set_curl_for_gdocs( $handle, $r, $url ) {
	if ( strpos( $url, 'docs.google.com' ) !== false ) {
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.82 Safari/537.36" );
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 180 );
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 180 );
	}
}

Fetch token to use in API request

function get_feed_token() {
	
	$ch = curl_init();

	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.example.com/api/auth/token/obtain/');
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"username\":\" yourusername \",\"password\":\"yourpassword\"}");

	$headers = array();
	$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
	curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );

	$result = curl_exec( $ch );
	if ( curl_errno( $ch ) ) {
		return false;
	}
	curl_close( $ch );
	
	$response = json_decode( $result, true );
	
	return empty( $response['access'] ) ? '' : $response['access'];
}

function my_curl_header( $handle, $r, $url ) {
    if ( strpos( $url, 'myfeed.url.com' ) !== false ) {
        $token = get_feed_token();
		$headers = array();
		$headers[] = 'Authorization: Bearer ' . $token;
		$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
		curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );    				
	}
}

add_action( 'http_api_curl', 'my_curl_header', 10, 3 );
