I don't know if you have made any progress but I managed to accomplish sending messages with your awesome open sourced Api, just had to modify slightly.. only prob is that it's got to be a gold account to send from Xbox.com. let me know I'm more then willing to contribute seeing how your api saved me tons of work. Keep it up!

@noobmasta I would like to see that. Can you help us out?

@chumpp you ask and you shall receive!

i haven't done much to make it pretty, i just kinda left it to show xbox's response in the data{} field for my own debugging. if anyone wants to spend more time and effort to clean it up or add more to it let me know please!

in my /api directory i added 'sendmessages.php'

output_headers(); $gamertag = (isset($_GET['gamertag']) && !empty($_GET['gamertag'])) ? trim($_GET['gamertag']) : null; $message = (isset($_GET['message']) && !empty($_GET['message'])) ? trim($_GET['message']) : null; $region = (isset($_GET['region']) && !empty($_GET['region'])) ? $_GET['region'] : 'en-US'; if (!$api->logged_in) { echo $api->output_error(500); } else { if (empty($gamertag)) { echo $api->output_error(301); } elseif (empty($message)) { ``` echo $api->output_error(307); /* i also added a error message saying 'no message supplied' in the '/includes/classes/base.class.php' */ } elseif ($api->check_culture($region) == false) { echo $api->output_error(305); } else { $data = $api->send_livemessage($gamertag, $message, $region); if ($data) { echo $api->output_payload($data); } else { echo $api->output_error($api->error); } } ``` } ?>

now just add my function to the bottom of '/api/includes/classes/api.class.php' just above the last bracket '}'

/**
 * Send Message (by: admin@xblnoobs.com)
 *
 * @access public
 * @var    string $gamertag
 * @var    string $message
 * @var    string $region
 * @return array
 */
public function send_livemessage($gamertag, $message, $region)

{
$gamertag = trim($gamertag);
$urltag = str_replace(' ', '%20', $gamertag); /*added so it would message gamertags with spaces instead of just the first half of the gamertag

    //$message   = str_replace(' ', '+', $message); //dont think its necessary anymore after testing        */

    $url       = 'https://live.xbox.com/' . $region . '/Messages?gamertag='.$urltag;

        $data      = $this->fetch_url($url);
        $post_data = 'recipients='.urlencode($gamertag).'&message='.urlencode($message).'&__RequestVerificationToken=' . urlencode(trim($this->find($data, '<input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="', '" />')));
        $headers   = array('X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest', 'Referer: '.$url, 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8');
        $data      = $this->fetch_url('https://live.xbox.com/' . $region . '/Messages/SendMessage', $url, 10, $post_data, $headers);

    //the following is commented out due to random failures in the script
    //$checkme = strpos($data, 'Success\":true');
    //if($checkme === false){   $ok = 'Error! Message not sent? | $data= '.$data;
    //}else{    $ = 'Message Sent?  |   $data= '.$data ; }


    return $data;
}

there you guys go... keep in mind i have NOT dumb proofed it at all. (so be careful not to spam xbox with messages)

it should output "data": "{"Success":true,"Diagnostics":null}", when its successful.

@noobmasta Awesome, thanks!

[noobmasta]

@djekl sorry im nott too github friendly

[jasonclemons]

While that allows you to send messages, it doesn't account for the Xbox message limit (100 per day).

[djekl]

Also, sending/receiving is only for the logged in account

@noobmasta Fork the repo, make your changes (either on GitHub or in your editor of choice, then use the GitHub app to commit back). Then you can submit a pull request back to us here.

im aware of all that guys.. i did say i havent dumb proofed it or made the output pretty.. i kinda stopped working on it months ago and caught a random email asking about it..(reason i made a github account was to comment on your work) sorry just thought i would help out someone. it does work somewhat however and im still looking forward updates on your work

edit: @jasonclemons i also think its limited to 250 characters

[noobmasta]

so i randomly started using your guys api again because i noticed xbox.com allows silver to send messages now.. awesome right? well now my api doesnt work at all... "Could not login to Windows Live. Please email support@xboxleaders.com." is the message it puts out when just trying to load a profile. has the cookie for xbox.com changed or something becuase the layout and requesttokens look the same to me

[jasonclemons]

The entire layout for xbox.com has changed, and I have no time nor energy to get a rewrite pushed out. At this time, you would be better off using https://xboxapi.com

[noobmasta]

bummer dude. i went back to scraping my own data from another site for speed awhile ago.. but when i noticed you can send stuff from silver i reinterested myself in your api cuz it actually logged in and created cookies for the accounts, not because i need it to fetch data. guess ill let you know if i get it figured out. thanks anyway

[djekl]

@jasonclemons Thanks for the recommendation.

@noobmasta Yes, unfortunately because the new xbox.com changes require Javascript on pages, a rewrite of the api would be extensive as discussed in a previous issue about the profile pages.
