This repository contains the open source PHP client for MessageBird's REST API. Documentation can be found at: https://developers.messagebird.com/
- Sign up for a free MessageBird account
- Create a new access_key in the developers sections
- MessageBird API client for PHP requires PHP >= 7.0.
- Download composer
- Run
composer require messagebird/php-rest-api
.
When you do not use Composer. You can git checkout or download this repository and include the MessageBird API client manually.
We have put some self-explanatory examples in the examples directory, but here is a quick breakdown on how it works. First, you need to set up a MessageBird\Client. Be sure to replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with something real.
require 'autoload.php';
$messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY');
That's easy enough. Now we can query the server for information. Lets use getting your balance overview as an example:
// Get your balance
$balance = $messageBird->balance->read();
To use the WhatsApp sandbox you need to add \MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX
to the list of features you want enabled. Don't forget to replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
with your actual access key.
$messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY', null, [\MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX]);
If you use a custom HttpClient
you will have to manually direct Conversation API request to the WhatsApp sandbox endpoint.
