How to create a downloadable product through the Magento API?

Question

I am new to Magento and use their API. What I want to ask is, is it possible to create a downloadable product through the API? The sample documentation is intended only to create a new simple product, and if I use the API to view product.info of the downloaded product, I do not see any attribute that refers to the download file assigned to this product.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks :)

Answer 1

The documentation is now good enough to learn about the Magento SOAP API V1.

Create a product from SOAP API V1, as in the example:

$proxy = new SoapClient('http://magentohost/api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('apiUser', 'apiKey');
$filesPath = '/var/www/ws/tests/WebService/etc/Modules/Downloadable/Product/Link';
$downloadableProductId = 'downloadable_demo_product';

$items = array(
    'small' => array(
        'link' => array(
            'title' => 'Test file',
            'price' => '123',
            'is_unlimited' => '1',
            'number_of_downloads' => '111',
            'is_shareable' => '0',
            'sample' => array(
                'type' => 'file',
                'file' =>
                array(
                    'filename' => 'files/test.txt',
                ),
                'url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
            ),
            'type' => 'file',
            'file' =>
            array(
                'filename' => 'files/test.txt',
            ),
            'link_url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
        ),
        'sample' => array(
            'title' => 'Test sample file',
            'type' => 'file',
            'file' => array(
                'filename' => 'files/image.jpg',
            ),
            'sample_url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
            'sort_order' => '3',
        )
    ),
    'big' => array(
        'link' => array(
            'title' => 'Test url',
            'price' => '123',
            'is_unlimited' => '0',
            'number_of_downloads' => '111',
            'is_shareable' => '1',
            'sample' => array(
                'type' => 'url',
                'file' => array(
                    'filename' => 'files/book.pdf',
                ),
                'url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
            ),
            'type' => 'url',
            'file' => array(
                'filename' => 'files/song.mp3',
            ),
            'link_url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
        ),
        'sample' => array(
            'title' => 'Test sample url',
            'type' => 'url',
            'file' => array(
                'filename' => 'files/image.jpg',
            ),
            'sample_url' => 'http://www.magentocommerce.com/img/logo.gif',
            'sort_order' => '3',
        )
    )
);

$result = true;
foreach ($items as $item) {
    foreach ($item as $key => $value) {
        if ($value['type'] == 'file') {
            $filePath = $filesPath . '/' . $value['file']['filename'];
            $value['file'] = array('name' => str_replace('/', '_', $value['file']['filename']), 'base64_content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($filePath)), 'type' => $value['type']);
        }
        if ($value['sample']['type'] == 'file') {
            $filePath = $filesPath . '/' . $value['sample']['file']['filename'];
            $value['sample']['file'] = array('name' => str_replace('/', '_', $value['sample']['file']['filename']), 'base64_content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents($filePath)));
        }
        if (!$proxy->call(
            $sessionId,
            'product_downloadable_link.add',
            array($downloadableProductId, $value, $key)
        )
        ) {
            $result = false;
        }
    }
}
