Introduction

Sony has an official 'External PSN Sign In' page. You can set your own site as the returnURL by GET. The site forwards to your site on a successfull sign in with a sessionId by GET. But there is no official public API to convert the sessionId into a user specific value (like the PSN-ID). This API here converts a valid sessionId into the proper PSN-ID. So everyone is able to use the Playstation Network SignIn for their own sites. Click here and sign in for a simple test.

Get the output

http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php with the following GET parameters:

(*) sessionId=[any sessionId]
http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]
source=[us|eumypsn|euforums]
The api can get the proper PSN-ID by different sources.
Choose the once you want to get the PSN-ID from.
('us' is the default value)
Example1: http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]&source=us
Example2: http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]&source=eumypsn
Example3: http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]&source=euforums
error=[0,1]
This parameter handles the PHP error outputs.
('0' is the default value.)
Example1: http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]&error=0 (output no php errors by error_reporting(0);)
Example2: http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=[YourSessionId]&error=1 (output all php errors by error_reporting(E_ALL);)

(*) => Mandatory parameters

A small example for using this API

If you want to use this function on your own site, create a php file on your server and type in the following code:


<?

// Example for using the PSNAPI.ORG GetId API

$PSLogURL = "https://store.playstation.com/external/index.vm?returnURL=";
$ThisURL = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

function getpsnid($sessId) {
    $sources = array("us","eumypsn","euforums"); $psnid = "0";
    for ($i=0;isset($sources[$i]) && !isPsnIdValid($psnid);$i++) {
        $url = "http://api.geekweb.org/psn/getid/out.php?sessionId=" . $sessId . "&source=" . $sources[$i];
        $psnid = file_get_contents($url);
    }
    return $psnid;
}

function isPsnIdValid($psnid) {
    $regex = '/([a-z].{2,15})/i';
    preg_match_all($regex, $psnid, $newid, PREG_SET_ORDER);
    if (isset($newid[0][1]) && $psnid == $newid[0][1]) { return true; } 
    return false;
}

if (isset($_GET['sessionId'])) {
    // get the proper psnid by the given sessionId
    $psnid = getpsnid($_GET['sessionId']);
    // TODO: connect with your user management here
    echo ("Hi, <b>" . $psnid . "</b> ...");
} else {
    // forward to the official external psn sign in page
    // with your page url as returnURL by GET
    header ("Location: " . $PSLogURL . $ThisURL);
}

?>
