catalog.getSection

Get section by id. Sections are divided into blocks. Use catalog.getBlockItems to get items from block.

Parameters:

Name	Value
section_id	Id of the section
start_from (optional)	Id of the offset

Section ids are returned in the id or section_id fields. For example, they are returned by catalog.getAudio method.

Offset is returned in the next_from field and is needed, for example, for scrolling tracks by an artist down (getting more tracks)

Example (VK Official):

$section_id = 'abc12345';

curl_setopt(
    $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.vk.com/method/catalog.getSection"
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
    "v=5.116&https=1&section_id=".urlencode($section_id)."&access_token=".TOKEN
);

use Vodka2\VKAudioToken\SupportedClients;

//Credentials obtained by example_vkofficial.php script
define('TOKEN', $argv[1]);
define('USER_AGENT', SupportedClients::VkOfficial()->getUserAgent());
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('User-Agent: '.USER_AGENT));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$section_id = 'abc12345';
