Access L$ Transaction history from Server

[Tarion Korobase]

Hi techis,

I want to build a webserver that verifies payments made to an SL account. How can I Login to my SL account from my own application? Is there some documentation about the login procedure or any library? I would take it in any language, but actually I'm running NodeJS.

I managed to get something like that working in PHP, I also believe it is available somewhere on the Internets. I can probably help with getting it set up, I don't know NodeJS much, but I can provide general knowledge about this. Feel free to contact me in-world.

Looks good, but have some troubles.

 

First, I had to fix this condition (in 2 places):

if( ! $result = curl_exec($ch))

To:

 if($result != curl_exec($ch))

Second, it is important to give write access to the folder the script is int.

 

and now just gets empty data: 

results.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

 It might be due to my webspace hosters setup, I will try it locally and then on my own Server.

 Error hndling could be improved, even if I change my password to a wrong one, it just tells me that the file is empty.

Uh, I can't quote things here, that statement:

if( ! $result = curl_exec($ch))

 is correct. What it does is that it assigns value of the HTTP request to $result variable. And then checks for the response being empty.

Maybe LL changed the structure or URLs of transaction history, I am going to check later today.

Edit:

Also, I believe it would be better to grab the transaction history from the HTML instead of using the XML files, as they get cached and you would have to play with the date ranges to get the latest transaction history log, where with the HTML page, you will always get the latest one.
