Properties

authenticate()

User ID if one has been determined, false otherwise.

Return values
int|false —

authentication_fallback()

Authenticate the user if authentication wasn't performed during the determine_current_user action.

public authentication_fallback(WP_Error|null|bool $error) : WP_Error|null|bool

Necessary in cases where wp_get_current_user() is called before WooCommerce is loaded.

Parameters

Return values
WP_Error|null|bool —

check_authentication_error()

Check for authentication error.

public check_authentication_error(WP_Error|null|bool $error) : WP_Error|null|bool
Parameters
$error : WP_Error|null|bool

Error data.

Return values
WP_Error|null|bool —

check_user_permissions()

Check for user permissions and register last access.

public check_user_permissions(mixed $result, WP_REST_Server $server, WP_REST_Request $request) : mixed
Parameters
$result : mixed

Response to replace the requested version with.

$server : WP_REST_Server

Server instance.

$request : WP_REST_Request

Request used to generate the response.

Return values
mixed —

get_authorization_header()

Get the authorization header.

public get_authorization_header() : string

On certain systems and configurations, the Authorization header will be stripped out by the server or PHP. Typically this is then used to generate PHP_AUTH_USER/PHP_AUTH_PASS but not passed on. We use getallheaders here to try and grab it out instead.

Tags

3.0.0
Return values
string — Authorization header if set.

get_oauth_parameters()

Get oAuth parameters from $_GET, $_POST or request header.

public get_oauth_parameters() : array<string|int, mixed>|WP_Error
Tags
since
3.0.0
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>|WP_Error —

parse_header()

Parse the Authorization header into parameters.

public parse_header(string $header) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$header : string

Authorization header value (not including "Authorization: " prefix).

Tags
since
3.0.0
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> — Map of parameter values.

send_unauthorized_headers()

If the consumer_key and consumer_secret $_GET parameters are NOT provided and the Basic auth headers are either not present or the consumer secret does not match the consumer key provided, then return the correct Basic headers and an error message.

public send_unauthorized_headers(WP_REST_Response $response) : WP_REST_Response
Parameters
$response : WP_REST_Response

Current response being served.

protected set_error(WP_Error $error) : mixed

check_oauth_signature()

private check_oauth_signature(stdClass $user, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : true|WP_Error
Parameters
$user : stdClass

User data.

$params : array<string|int, mixed>

The request parameters.

Return values
true|WP_Error —

check_oauth_timestamp_and_nonce()

Verify that the timestamp and nonce provided with the request are valid. This prevents replay attacks where an attacker could attempt to re-send an intercepted request at a later time.

private check_oauth_timestamp_and_nonce(stdClass $user, int $timestamp, string $nonce) : bool|WP_Error
  • A timestamp is valid if it is within 15 minutes of now.
  • A nonce is valid if it has not been used within the last 15 minutes.
Parameters
$user : stdClass

User data.

$timestamp : int

The unix timestamp for when the request was made.

$nonce : string

A unique (for the given user) 32 alphanumeric string, consumer-generated.

bool|WP_Error —

check_permissions()

Check that the API keys provided have the proper key-specific permissions to either read or write API resources.

Request method.

Return values
bool|WP_Error —

get_user_data_by_consumer_key()

Return the user data for the given consumer_key.

private get_user_data_by_consumer_key(string $consumer_key) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
$consumer_key : string

Consumer key.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —

join_with_equals_sign()

Creates an array of urlencoded strings out of each array key/value pairs.

private join_with_equals_sign(array<string|int, mixed> $params[, array<string|int, mixed> $query_params = array() ][, string $key = '' ]) : string
Parameters
$params : array<string|int, mixed>

Array of parameters to convert.

$query_params : array<string|int, mixed> = array()

Array to extend.

$key : string = ''

Optional Array key to append.

Return values
string — Array of urlencoded strings.

normalize_parameters()

Normalize each parameter by assuming each parameter may have already been encoded, so attempt to decode, and then re-encode according to RFC 3986.

private normalize_parameters(array<string|int, mixed> $parameters) : array<string|int, mixed>

Note both the key and value is normalized so a filter param like:

'filter[period]' => 'week'

is encoded to:

'filter%255Bperiod%255D' => 'week'

This conforms to the OAuth 1.0a spec which indicates the entire query string should be URL encoded.

Parameters
$parameters : array<string|int, mixed>

Un-normalized parameters.

rawurlencode()
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> — Normalized parameters.

perform_basic_authentication()

Basic Authentication.

private perform_basic_authentication() : int|bool

SSL-encrypted requests are not subject to sniffing or man-in-the-middle attacks, so the request can be authenticated by simply looking up the user associated with the given consumer key and confirming the consumer secret provided is valid.

Return values
int|bool —

perform_oauth_authentication()

Perform OAuth 1.0a "one-legged" (http://oauthbible.com/#oauth-10a-one-legged) authentication for non-SSL requests.

private perform_oauth_authentication() : int|bool

This is required so API credentials cannot be sniffed or intercepted when making API requests over plain HTTP.

This follows the spec for simple OAuth 1.0a authentication (RFC 5849) as closely as possible, with two exceptions:

  1. There is no token associated with request/responses, only consumer keys/secrets are used.

  2. The OAuth parameters are included as part of the request query string instead of part of the Authorization header, This is because there is no cross-OS function within PHP to get the raw Authorization header.
