ox3-php-api-client
This library provides a client class with examples to facilitate access to the OpenX API.
The file OX3_Api_Client.php supports Zend Framework Version 1 and the file OX3_Api_Client2.php supports Zend Framework Version 2., (*1)
Installation
If Working with Zend Framework 1:
1) Install Zend Framework 1.12.13 (link: http://framework.zend.com/downloads/latest#ZF2).
2) Set include_path:
* Method 1: Navigate to /private/etc/php.ini and set include_path to the path to the Zend Framework under the "/library" directory., (*2)
include_path = ".:/Users/.../ZendFramework-1.12.13/library/"
- Method 2: Alternatively, you can create a file called 'set_path.php' and set your paths there. If you chose to set the path using this option, the file 'set_path.php' should look like:
** If you use this option make sure to create the file in the same folder as the folder which contains the OX3_API_Client.php file. Also make sure to require the file by adding the line "require_once 'set_path.php'; " to the top of the OX3_Api_Client.php file., (*3)
If Working with Zend Framework 2:
1) Install Zend Framework 2 (link: http://framework.zend.com/downloads/latest#ZF2).
2) Install Composer in your working directory (link: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).
3) Run the command "php composer.phar init". After doing this. composer will guide you through the process of configuring a composer.json file. To allow the default configuration, press enter or "yes" when prompted.
4) Install the required Zend packages, ZendOAuth and ZendRest:
To do so, add the "repositories" and "require" sections in the composer.json file so the file looks
as follows:, (*4)
{
"name": "",
"authors": [
{
"name": "",
"email": ""
}
],
"repositories": [
{
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://packages.zendframework.com/"
}
],
"require": {
"zendframework/zendoauth": "2.0.*",
"zendframework/zendrest": "2.0.*"
}
}
5) Run the command "php composer.phar install" to install the packages and their dependencies.
6) Set include_path:
* Method 1: Navigate to /private/etc/php.ini and set include_path to the paths to the Zend Framework under the ".../library/" directory and to the newly installed packages under the ".../vendor/" directory. The "vendor" folder should appear in your working directory after installing the packages with composer., (*5)
include_path = ".:/Users/.../ZendFramework-2.4.5/library/:/Users/.../vendor/"
- Method 2: Alternatively, you can create a file called 'set_path.php' and set your paths there. If you chose to set the path using this option, the file set_path.php should look like:
** If you use this option make sure to create the file in the same folder as the folder which contains the OX3_API_Client2.php file. Also make sure to require the file by adding the line "require_once 'set_path.php'; " to the top of the OX3_Api_Client2.php file., (*6)
Authentication/Example Scripts
Add this to your code to authenticate with Oauth:, (*7)
** Note that when running the example scripts, OX3_Api_Client.php/OX3_Api_Client2.php must be in the same folder as the script. Also note that the example scripts contain some user configurable variables (besides the authentication section), which are described at the top of the scripts., (*8)
Usage
- To see the results in a friendly format on the command line, use the functions json_Decode, getBody, and print_r.
Ex) $result = $client->get('/account');
print_r(json_decode($result->getBody(), true));
GET REQUESTS:
* To get all current objects of a certain type, use the following request:, (*9)
$result = $client->get('/"object_type"');
Ex) $result = $client->get('/account');
- To get the object(s) with a specific value for some attribute(s), pass in the value of the desired attribute as an array along with the path:
$query = array("attribute"=>"value");
$result = $client->get('/object_type', $query')
Ex) $query1 = array('name'=>'OpenX');
result1 = $client->get('/account', $query1);
--> Returns the account(s) with the name OpenX
- Many fields have multiple options for what value they can take on. To see these options, use the following request:
$result = $client->get('/options/"field_options"')
Ex) $content_types = $client->get('/options/content_type_options');
POST REQUESTS:
* To create an object, make a post request, passing in the path along with an array which includes the values of the fields for the object, (*10)
$query = array(
'account_uid'=>"...",
'currency'=>"...",
.
.
.
'timezone'=>"...");
$result = $client->post('/"object_type"/', $query);
PUT REQUESTS:
* To update an object, make a put resquest, passing in the path along with an array which includes the parameters that are being updated, (*11)
$query = array('timezone'=>'"updated_value"');
$result = $client->put('/"object_type"/"object_uid"', $query);
DELETE REQUESTS:
* To delete an object, make a delete request, passing in the path including the uids/id of the object that is to be deleted:, (*12)
$result = $client->delete('/"object_type"/"object_uid"');
Ex) $result = $client->delete('/site/6003a1c2-e000-fff1-8123-0c9a66');
