How can I test the connection with Cloudinary's servers?

You can ping any of our Admin API endpoints and see if you get a positive response.  In using Cloudinary's PHP SDK, we will use its base HTTP client to perform a ping to an endpoint.  Optionally, we will use Symfony's Dotenv to parse the cloud credentials such as API key and API secret that are stored in a .env file.  

 

In composer.json, set the following dependencies: 

 "require": {
   "cloudinary/cloudinary_php": "^2.10",
   "symfony/dotenv": "^6.2"
 }

 

Example .env file: 

cloud_name=<cloudNameHere>
api_key=<apiKeyHere>
api_secret=<apiSecretHere>

 

Let's declare the autoload and namespaces that are needed to be included in the script: 

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Dotenv;
use Cloudinary\Configuration\Configuration;
use Cloudinary\Api\ApiClient;


Set the array to contain the configuration details of the Cloudinary Account: 

$cld_env = [
    'cloud' => [
        'cloud_name' => $_ENV['cloud_name'],
        'api_key' => $_ENV['api_key'],
        'api_secret' => $_ENV['api_secret']
     ],
     'url' => [
        'secure' => true
     ]
];

 

Instantiate the Configuration object and pass the configuration parameter:

$config = (new Configuration($cld_env));
$client = (new ApiClient($config));
//get the config details that was set in the ApiClient 
$cloud = $client->getCloud();
$cloud_name = $cloud->cloudName;
$key = $cloud->apiKey;
$secret =$cloud->apiSecret;

 
Set the ping URL and ping the endpoint: 

$ping_url = sprintf('https://%s:%s@api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/%s/ping', $key, $secret, $cloud_name);
$result = $client->httpClient->get($ping_url);


Echo the result status: 

echo $result->getHeader('Status')[0], PHP_EOL;

The above should echo:

200 OK


Or alternatively, iterate over the response headers: 

foreach($result->getHeaders() as $name => $values){
    echo $name . ": " . implode(", ", $values) . "\r\n";
}
