This is an unofficial PHP API for ask.fm.
- Asking questions, anonymously or with an account
- Fetching open questions for a profile
- Answering questions
- Deleting questions
The libraries are contained in ask.php. To use the API, simply write
require('ask.php');
at the top of your file. Note that both ask.phpand simple_html_dom.php are required.
ask.php defines the class AskFm. It exposes these properties:
class askFm {
public $lastError;
public function __construct($cookieFile = "cookies.txt") {
}
public function ask($nickname, $question, $anon = false) {
}
public function login($nickname, $password){
}
public function logout() {
}
public function fetchQuestions() {
}
public function checkQuestion($questionId){
}
public function answer($questionId, $text){
}
public function delete($questionId){
}
public function deleteAll(){
}
}
To use the API you must declare a new AskFm object, like this:
$ask = new AskFm;
When using the API, you might run into errors, eg. when trying to fetch questions without having logged in first. In such cases, the function causing the error will return false and store the latest error in $ask->lastError.
In order to use some features, you need to log into your ask.fm account. Use the login($username, $password) function.
$ask->login('nickname', 'password');
To ask questions, use ask($nickname, $question, $anon = false). By default, questions will be asked using your account; if you wish to ask questions anonymously, pass true as the third parameter.
$ask->ask('afilini', 'How are you?');
$ask->ask('afilini', 'How are you?', true); // Same as above, but anonymously
To fetch open (i.e. unanswered) questions for your account, use fetchQuestions(). The result is an array whose keys are question IDs, and whose values are question texts.
This function returns false if an error occurs; see the lastError paragraph for more informations on error handling.
$questions = $ask->fetchQuestions();
To answer an open question on your account, use answer($questionId, $text).
$ask->answer('123', 'I'm fine, thanks!');
To delete a single question, use delete($questionId); to delete all questions, use deleteAll().
$ask->delete('123');
$ask->deleteAll();
