I'm working with Magento 2 API and I'm really struggled with response of it

How can I return some kind of response like this:

{
    "status": 200,
    "error": false,
    "message": "Request processed successfully.",
    "data": {
        "id": "1",
        "email": "us@test.com",
        "first_name": "user1",
        "last_name": "user01"
    }
}

It's simple with other framework like Laravel or Express. But it seems really hard to achieve this with Magento 2 API.

Anyone has idea? Thank you.

  • Give you a reference first, you can edit the format as you like: magento.stackexchange.com/questions/92105/…

  • Thank you. But did you try this? I tried, at the moment, this interface has only one method left, it is sendResponse. And it seems not work as we expected

  • @NagarajuKasa: No, I didn't find the kind of solution I needed. And I had to use response format that Magento team force us to use :)

First you need to define the interface/class of the result type. The interface will look like this.

namespace Vnecoms\SampleAPI\Api;

interface Result
{
    /**
     * @return int
     */
    public function getStatus();

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function getError();

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getMessage();

    /**
     * @return \Vnecoms\SampleAPI\Api\ResultData
     */
    public function getData();
}

Next is the ResultData interface

namespace Vnecoms\SampleAPI\Api;

interface ResultData
{
    /**
     * @return int
     */
    public function getId();

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getEmail();

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getFirstName();

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getLastName();
}

Now in your API just return an object of \Vnecoms\SampleAPI\Api\Result

  • how to return it? Sep 5, 2017 at 7:12
  • I write down the interface only. You will need to define your own class follows the interface above.

  • @Hungvt, Is it possible to build that data interface without a getter method for every field? (What can you do when you have, for example, 200 fields? or dynamic number of fields?)

  • This is a terrible answer. This doesn't explain anything other than how to create an interface for a few necessary fields. Mar 19, 2019 at 17:40
