API V2 – Documentation

Our API version 2.0 is now (August 2019) available. The full API documentation can be found here.

https://www.riddle.com/docs/api/v2/

To help you get started, you can use the PHP script below.

It wraps all the functions of our API and allows you to use them with only 2 lines of code.

Please make sure that you inserted your token & API key which can be found either on https://www.riddle.com/creator/account/api or on the edit site of your chosen team.

Keep also in mind how our API responds (https://www.riddle.com/docs/api/v2/#section/Responses-from-the-API): our snippet returns the whole response and not just the body itself – feel free to change this snippet.

token = $token;
        $this->key = $key;
    }

    protected function request($path, $params = null, $method = 'GET', $jsonDecode = true)
    {
        $url = $this->url . $path;
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ["Authorization: Bearer $this->token", "Key: $this->key"]);

        if ($params) {
            $this->_prepareArrayValues($params);
            if ('POST' === $method) {
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
            }
            if ('GET' === $method) {
                $url .= '?' . http_build_query($params);
            }
        }

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

        return $jsonDecode ? json_decode($response) : $response;
    }

            }
        }
    }
