API Endpoints and Events

Complete technical reference for cobby's API endpoints and events. This reference is intended for developers creating custom Magento extensions based on cobby.

Version History

Starting with cobby version 1.38.1.1, many requests changed to a leaner naming scheme. Custom extensions from previous versions should check for both old and new formats.

Custom Change Notification Event

Use this event to notify cobby when your extension writes directly to Magento's database:

Event Name: cobby_handle_changes

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
entity	string	Yes	Entity type (e.g., 'product')
action	string	Yes	Action type (e.g., 'save')
ids	array	Yes	Array of entity IDs (e.g., [1,2,3])
context	string	Yes	Context identifier (e.g., 'custom')
username	string	Yes	Username performing the action

Example (Magento 1):

Mage::dispatchEvent('cobby_handle_changes', array(
    'entity' => 'product',
    'action' => 'save',
    'ids' => array(1,2,3),
    'context' => 'custom',
    'username' => 'Bob'
));
