PHP Library based on Guzzle to consume Bit.ly API.

The biggest advantage in using Guzzle is that you can easely attach Guzzle plugins to your client. Here, for example,you can see how to attach the log plugin and write all your requests to a file.

An integration with Symfony2 is available as well.

Usage

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

# To find your bitly access token see here https://bitly.com/a/oauth_apps
$my_bitly = new \Hpatoio\Bitly\Client("insert_here_your_bitly_api_access_token");

$response = $my_bitly->Highvalue(array("limit" => 3));

print_r($response);

cURL options

It might be that bit.ly is unreachable and you want to set a specific timeout. Just set the cURL timeout options in the client:

$my_bitly = new \Hpatoio\Bitly\Client("insert_here_your_bitly_api_access_token");
// set cURL timeout, you can specify any cURL options
$my_bitly->setConfig(array(
    'curl.options' => 
        array(
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 2, 
            CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 2
        )
    ));

$response = $my_bitly->Highvalue(array("limit" => 3));

print_r($response);

Methods names

To get the method name remove "v3" from the API url and camelize the other words removing the slashes.

Examples:

/v3/highvalue -> Highvalue
/v3/realtime/hot_phrases -> RealtimeHot_phrases
/v3/link/content -> LinkContent

Available methods

At the moment the library supports these APIs:

Behat

You need to copy Behat default configuration file and enter your access_token option there.

$ cp behat.yml.dist behat.yml

Now open behat.yml and change the string your_bitly_access_token_here with your access token. Run the suite typing

$ bin/behat

Integrations

A Symfony2 bundle that integrate this library is available here

Attach Guzzle plugin

Here you can see how to attach Guzzle Log plug to your client and save all your requests to a file.

NB: To run this script you need monolog/monolog

<?php
// This file is generated by Composer
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Guzzle\Log\MessageFormatter;
use Guzzle\Log\MonologLogAdapter;
use Guzzle\Plugin\Log\LogPlugin;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
use Monolog\Logger;

$logger = new Logger('client');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('/tmp/bitly_guzzle.log'));
$adapter = new MonologLogAdapter($logger);
$logPlugin = new LogPlugin($adapter, MessageFormatter::DEBUG_FORMAT);

# To find your bitly access token see here https://bitly.com/a/oauth_apps
$my_bitly = new \Hpatoio\Bitly\Client("your_bitly_access_token");
$my_bitly->addSubscriber($logPlugin);

$response = $my_bitly->Highvalue(array("limit" => 3));

print_r($response);

Now in /tmp/bitly_guzzle.log you can see all your requests.
