For instance, when accessing the Facebook Graph API, there's an object ID ({id}) but also an author ID ({from}{id}{/from}). The latter still returns the parent's object value.

I love this plugin. It works like a dream for facebook and instagram.
For twitter however, I need to authenticate.
Is there a way we could make this work?
And any idea for pinterest?

In a few of my pages, I am getting this error when I enable debug mode:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: strtotime() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given
Filename: rest/pi.rest.php
Line Number: 351

The relevant part of the code in pi.rest.php is this:

// Format dates to unix timestamps
elseif (isset($this->EE->TMPL->date_vars[$index]) and ! is_numeric($child))
{
    $child = strtotime($child);
}

I've tried outputting the value of $child before the strtotime call, and I see:

array(1) { ["profile_name"]=> string(18) "John Doe" }

The output is the array representation of the JSON string I expect to be returned to me.

Any ideas what be causing my issues? I am using EE 2.8.1

The EE (2.6.1) Developer log says:

Deprecated function set_variable() called in ...
third_party/rest/mcp.rest.php on line 156.
third_party/rest/mcp.rest.php on line 112.
third_party/rest/mcp.rest.php on line 89.
Deprecated since 2.6. Use view-> = ; instead.

I just installed Rest and get this error when I visit the module’s CP page:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/public_html/system/expressionengine/core/EE_Loader.php on line 53
Can anyone suggest how I might fix this?

I got problem when I started to upgrade my php version to 5.3.2 up but when I using 5.3.1 it works fine!

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Creating default object from empty value
Filename: controllers/crew_controller.php
Line Number: ABC

Here is my API

 class Crew_controller extends MY_rest_controller
 {
  /**
  * Returns a single Crew.
  * 
  * @return xml
  */
 function crew_get()
 {
      $load = 'crew_id';
      if ($this->get('id') != '') {
         $id   = $this->get('id');     
      elseif ($this->get('hash') != '') {
        $id   = $this->get('hash');
        $load = 'hash';
     } 

    $cache = Cache::get_instance();
    $crew = $cache::get('crew' . $id);

    if (!$crew) {            
        $crew = new Crew($id);   
        $crew->load($id, $load);  
        $cache::save('crew' . $crew->crew_id, $crew, 1800);
    }

    $response = $crew->getData();   

    $this->response($response);
   }
}

And here is my FRONT Controller

    class Crew_controller extends Front_Controller
    {
      public function crew_registration($crew = null)
  {
       $personal = $this->rest->get('crew', array('hash' => $crew), 'json');    
       $personal->first_name            = $profile->first_name;   ->>>>> LINE ABC
       $personal->last_name             = $profile->last_name;
       $personal->thumbnail_url         = $profile->thumbnail_url;
      }
    }

I have a API response (not controlled by me) as follows:

<ArrayOfXmlNode xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns="http://www.petango.com/>
    <XmlNode>
        <adoptableSearch xmlns=">
            <ID>11422849</ID>
            <Name>Perry</Name>
        </adoptableSearch>
    </XmlNode>
    <XmlNode>
        <adoptableSearch xmlns=">
            <ID>11422850</ID>
            <Name>John</Name>
        </adoptableSearch>
    </XmlNode>
    <XmlNode xsi:nil="true"/>
</ArrayOfXmlNode>

{exp:rest name="api_url" base="XmlNode"}
    {adoptableSearch}
        <div class="person">{ID} {Name}</div>
    {/adoptableSearch}
{/exp:rest}

My problem is that the last node in my API response doesn't get handled properly and I end up getting this output in my HTML file:

<div class="person">11422850 John</div>
{adoptableSearch}
    <div class="person"> </div>
{/adoptableSearch}

I am unable to get any results from the Flickr API. A response is returned, but rest will not loop through any of the results. In particular I am trying to get a list of collections for a specific user. The response is prefixed by jsonFlickrApi. I have tried setting this as my base, but it has no effect. I cannot figure out why neither XML nor JSON responses will work. Any ideas?

My request:
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?api_key=***&method=flickr.collections.getTree&user_id=98072959@N05&format=json

Hi Phil,

Line 191 was causing errors for me in EE 2.9.2. I changed the line to : $params=$params.'&'.str_replace('param:', '', $key). '='. $this->EE->TMPL->parse_globals($var);

and it worked.

I forked/published this too but thought I'd tell you in case that wasn't the kosher thing to do. I don't really know what is. Cheers!

The included first entry of the REST Twitter-API is old now:

{"errors": [{"message": "The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview.", "code": 68}]}

Pagination doesn't seem to be working. My example is below, but all I get is the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6houm87zu6eooux/Screenshot%202014-02-26%2017.03.11.png

Any idea what I might be doing wrong or if this is a possible bug?

{exp:rest url="http://brandnewbox.co.uk/v8/rss" format="xml" base="channel,item" limit="5" paginate="bottom" debug="no"}
  <p>{title}</p>

  {paginate}
   <ul class="pagination margin_bottom_04">
    {previous_page}
        <li><a href="{pagination_url}" title="Previous" class="arrow-prev pager-element">Previous</a></li>
    {/previous_page}

    {page}
        <li><a href="{pagination_url}"class="current">{pagination_page_number}</a></li>
    {/page}

    {next_page}
        <li><a href="{pagination_url}" title="Next" class="arrow-next pager-element">Next</a></li>
    {/next_page}
  </ul>
  {/paginate}
{/exp:rest}

Is there a function to strip backslashes from results? The json query I'm using returns all apostrophes and special characters with a backslash in front of them like this: "Joe's" and, of course, I'd like those stripped out.

I'm using Low's Replace as a workaround - wrap the entire exp:rest block with this:

{exp:low_replace find="\\" regex="yes"}

But, obviously, I'd prefer that Rest do it.
