The Pardot API should be accessed via POST for all operations . For the most part the API does not use the standard HTTP response codes to convey the outcome of the request, rather it always returns 2 response codes and sends back its own set of status codes that need to be handled.
Steps for the check user in prospect :
Step 1 : Login to pardot by api :
$url = “https://pi.pardot.com/api/login/version/3?email=useremail@email.com&password=pardot_password&user_key=********************************”;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);
$json = json_encode($xml);
$array = json_decode($json,TRUE);
$api_key = $array[‘api_key’];
Above API will return access token in response(api_key).
Step 2 : Check user :
$url = “https://pi.pardot.com/api/prospect/version/4/do/read/email/search_user_by_email?user_key=********************************&api_key=$api_key”
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
If user exist then it will return [{“stat” : “ok”] otherwise it will return [{“stat”:”fail”}]
In the same way we can check user in pardot account also;
Repeat the above step for check user in account, there are only single change in second api.Replace prospect with account.
https://pi.pardot.com/api/acount/version/4/do/read/email/search_user_by_email?user_key=********************************&api_key=api_key
