create a ticket order via API

In the PHP demo code the createOrder method is listed as not yet functional.

If I try to access the API method manually, similar to the example given in the API documentation, the returned result is {"error":"Unauthorized"}

(Example from http://api.ticketevolution.com/#orders)

curl -i \ -H Accept: application/vnd.ticketevolution.api+json; version=6 \ -H X-Signature: jbUk4nFdrYe4q6gHRS9T5tfONac2091ARevZxwdYcYk= \ -H X-Token: 7187e7dea9d91723b59ee8bfe19bb8fd \ -d '{"orders":[{"items":[{"price":"45.0","ticket_group_id":"43","quantity":2}],"buyer_id":"40"}]}' 'http://api.ticketevolution.com/orders'

Is the create order method working? If so, what might I have done wrong to receive the unauthorized error message (Yes I did substitute my security token, API key and buyer id for the ones used in the example above).

If the method is not functional yet, is there an ETA for when this will be ready?

  The API methods for creating orders are changing from what is currently documented. The new order creation APIs should be released in a day or two and I will update the PHP Library accordingly soon after.

  Hoping to get an update to the library pushed out at the beginning of next week unless someone submits any patches before then.

  I feel like I am really close with this function below for createOrder. But I keep getting a 401 error so it must not be that easy. Is it possible my options array is malformed?:

      public function createOrder(array $options)
  
      {
  
          /* required fields would go here
  
          if (!isset($options['event_id'])) {
  
              throw new Ticketevolution_Webservice_Exception(
  
                  '"event_id" is a required parameter'
  
              );
  
          }
  
          */
  
          $client = $this->getRestClient();
  
          $client->setUri($this->_baseUri);

          $defaultOptions = array();
  
          $options = self::_prepareOptions('GET', 'orders', $options, $defaultOptions);
  
          $client->getHttpClient()->resetParameters();
  
          self::_setHeaders($this->apiToken, $this->_apiVersion, $this->_requestSignature);

          $response = $client->restGet('/orders', $options);
  
          if ($response->isError()) {
  
              /**
  
               * @see Ticketevolution_Webservice_Exception
  
               */
  
              require_once 'Ticketevolution/Webservice/Exception.php';
  
              throw new Ticketevolution_Webservice_Exception(
  
                  'An error occurred sending request. Status code: '
  
                  . $response->getStatus()
  
              );
  
          }
  
          $response = self::_jsonDecode($response->getBody());

          /**
  
           * @see Ticketevolution_Webservice_ResultSet
  
           */
  
          require_once 'Ticketevolution/Webservice/ResultSet.php';
  
          return new Ticketevolution_Webservice_ResultSet($response);
  
      }

  FYI, createOrder() has been available for some time now in the PHP LIbrary
