Learn How to Use the Envato Marketplaces API

Hidey ho, everyone! Some of you may not be aware that the Envato marketplaces have an API that can be used to display your recent items, author stats, most popular items, verify purchases, practically anything.

You can read the documentation here: http://marketplace.envato.com/api/documentation/

We’ve also, just today, launched a new YouTube channel – envatoMarketplaces, where we’ll teach you how to execute various neat tricks with the API . Be sure to subscribe to stay up to date on the latest lessons.

That’s all. Thanks! Bye. Seeya.

Goody! Let the vids flow…

Nice video tutorial Thank you!

YES ! i’ve been wanting this for a long time. A suggestion..also make a video where it shows how to upload items, what to include, etc. because starters have a lot of difficulties with it..

I was going to make a tutorial on this

You beat me too it, I sent a pitch in as well.

lol I was the first who give a “thumb up” to that video! I’m awesome.

Great video, need to learn this envato API at some point and this video helps a lot.

Great stuff. Can we do requests?

A way for authors to identify verified buyers for support forums would be great.

Hi Chris,

This already exists, see the documentation for verifying purchases through the API . A lot of authors have been using this to integrate verification into their own apps.

Whoops, my bad! Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll get dug in

Just added a verify_purchase method to this class: https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Envato-Marketplace-API-Wrapper-in-PHP

You can use it like so:

require 'Envato_marketplaces.php';
$Envato = new Envato_marketplaces();
$Envato->set_api_key('your api key');

// Ensure that somebody bought your item.
// If successful, $verify will be an object which
// contains all of the purchase information.
$verify = $Envato->verify_purchase('your username', 'buyer purchase code');

// Quickie test. 
if ( isset($verify->buyer) ) echo 'bought';
else echo 'did not buy';
