API Wrapper Function for WordPress

This is a simple wrapper function for all API calls using the WordPress wp_remote() function.

/***************************

* @param string $method GET | POST | PUT | DELETE 
* @param string $uri the controller and method to call on teh api
* @param array $params required data for method
* @return array|object Array containing 'headers', 'body', 'response', 'cookies', 'filename'. A WP_Error instance upon error
* @return[body] returned will be a json response, see our API docs
*/

	// setup the request
	$url 		= $this->api_endpoint . $uri;
	$headers = array( 'X-API-KEY' => $this->_api_key());

	// switch based on METHOD		
	/***********

	switch ($method) {
		case 'GET':
			$params['sess']		= '';

To call this function:

/*
* Test API
* @return array|object Array containing 'headers', 'body', 'response', 'cookies', 'filename'. A WP_Error instance upon error
* @return[body] returned will be a json response, see our API docs
*/  	

function _test_api() {

        $params = array();

	$uri = '/go/hello';
	$json = $this->_pagely_api_request($method = 'GET',$uri, $params );

	if (!json_decode($json)) {
		// was not a json response...make one
		$res->message = $json;
		$json = json_encode($res);
		return false;
	}

	$result = json_decode($json);					
	if (isset($result->result) && $result->result == 2) {
		// api works
		return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
