The Shopping-feed API SDK for PHP

Primary LanguagePHP

Welcome to the Shopping Feed PHP SDK

Install

  1. In your project root repository run 
    composer require shoppingfeed/php-sdk
  2. Install a http client of your choice, we recommend using GuzzleHttp 6 as the SDK embed an adapter for this client. 
    composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle ^6.3
    You can also develop your own adapter, if you already have a http client library in your project (see the http adapter documentation for more information).

This will load the SDK library into the vendor repository.
And thanks to PSR-4 specification you should be able to access the SDK under the namespace \ShoppingFeed\Sdk.

Basic usage

Here are the three basic steps to use the SDK :

  1. Authentication to start a new session
  2. Retrieve the store(s) you want to manage from the session
  3. Manage resources

Authentication against the API

The Shopping Feed API requires that you are authenticated to perform any calls.

In order to make authenticated call, you should build the client like so:

<?php
namespace ShoppingFeed\Sdk;

// Setup credentials to connect to the API, and create session
$credential = new Credential\Token('api-token');
/** @var \ShoppingFeed\Sdk\Api\Session\SessionResource $session */
$session = Client\Client::createSession($credential);

Accessing your stores

/** @var \ShoppingFeed\Sdk\Api\Session\SessionResource $session */
$store = $session->getMainStore();
$store->getName(); // test-store
$store->getId(); // 1276
// ... and so on

If you manage more than one store, you can use the store collection object

/** @var \ShoppingFeed\Sdk\Api\Session\SessionResource $session */
// Get store collection
$stores = $session->getStores();
// Count the number of stores [int]
$stores->count();
// Get a particular store
$store = $stores->select('id-or-store-name');
// Loop over available stores
foreach ($stores as $store) {
	$store->getName(); 
}
