Webling API Wrapper for PHP

A Lightweight PHP Wrapper to query the Webling API.

Installation

Install with Composer:

composer require usystems/webling-api-php

Usage

Simple usage

$api = new Webling\API\Client('https://demo.webling.ch','MY_APIKEY');

$response = $api->get('member/123');

if ($response->getStatusCode() < 400) {
    var_dump($response->getData());    // returns the parsed JSON
    var_dump($response->getRawData()); // returns the raw response string
}

$response = $api->put('/member', $data);
$response = $api->post('/member', $data);
$response = $api->delete('/member/123');

Create a new client with some options:

$options = [
    'connecttimeout' => 5, // connection timeout in seconds
    'timeout' => 10, // transfer timeout
    'useragent' => 'My Custom User-Agent' // custom user agent
];
$api = new Webling\API\Client('https://demo.webling.ch','MY_APIKEY', $options);

Caching Data

If you are doing lots of GET requests, you may want to use a cache. The Cache Class in combination with the FileCacheAdapter lets you cache Webling API requests on the filesystem. It does check which objects have changed and only fetches the changed objects.

This is how you use the Cache:

// create a cache object
$client = new Webling\API\Client('https://demo.webling.ch','MY_APIKEY');
$adapter = new Webling\CacheAdapters\FileCacheAdapter([
    'directory' => './webling_cache'
]);
$cache = new Webling\Cache\Cache($client, $adapter);

// get single object
$member = $cache->getObject('member', 506);

// get binary data of object
$cache->getObjectBinary('member', 506, $member['properties']['Mitgliederbild']['href']);

// get multiple objects
$cache->getObjects('member', [506, 507, 508]);

// get object lists
$cache->getRoot('membergroup');

// check for updates and renew cache
$cache->updateCache();

// clear the whole cache
$cache->clearCache();

Requirements

To use this library you need at least:

• PHP >=5.6
• PHP cURL Extension
• PHP JSON Extension
• A Webling Account with API enabled
