Cannot set Referrer

[Edofre]

Hello, I seem to be unable to set a referrer.

The X-OpenAPI-Session-ID is set in the header request and I've also managed to get the referrer id (ADVNLxxx) from the request I make to the partnerprogramma.bol.com URL.

I've noticed that I can get the referrer ID from two URLs

• http://partnerprogramma.bol.com
• http://partner.bol.com

Once I make the setReferrer() request from the client I get the following response:

object(stdClass)[1647]
  public 'code' => string 'CannotSetReferrer' (length=17)
  public 'message' => string 'Unable to set referrer' (length=22)

I'd like advice on what to try next.

@Edofre how did you make the request? Can you maybe share that portion of the code?

Below you will find the code, env('BOL_API_KEY') & env('BOL_PARTNER_SITE_ID') are correct and use the correct values.

$apiClient = new \BolCom\Client(env('BOL_API_KEY'), 'json', true);

// Get and set session
$session = $apiClient->getSessionId();
$apiClient->setSessionId($session->sessionId);

// Get and set referrer
$referrerFromUrl = $this->getReferrerFromPartnerUrl();

// Here is where I can the CannotSetReferrer response
$response = $apiClient->setReferrer($referrerFromUrl);

function getReffererFromPartnerUrl() {
  $siteid = urlencode(env('BOL_PARTNER_SITE_ID'));
  $externalUrl = urlencode($this->external_url);
  $naam = $this->wishlistItem->item;

  //        $url = "http://partnerprogramma.bol.com/click/click?p=1&t=url&s={$siteid}&url={$externalUrl}&f=API";
  $url = 'http://partner.bol.com/click/click?p=1&t=url&s=' . urlencode(env('BOL_PARTNER_SITE_ID')) . '&f=API&url=' . urlencode($this->external_url);

  $headerResponse = get_headers($url);

  $location = explode(" ", $headerResponse[6]);

  $referrer = $location[1];

  return $referrer;
}

Did you view the comment on the docs page?

"Adds or updates the referrer of the current session. Note: Usage of this call is limited and only on request by email to d...@b...com."

So I'm not sure if the availability of the call should be enabled by the developer center of Bol.
