simple-php-api-client

An extremely simple API client (with authentication) example, written in PHP on top of Guzzle (a HTTP client for PHP). This repo shows the "client", meaning the part that get data from an API, there's another repo (https://github.com/panique/simple-php-api) showing a "server", meaning the part that DELIVERS the data.

What's inside ?

It's just a simple PHP file that makes an example API call, authenticates and then echos out the JSON response. This file uses the excellent Guzzle HTTP client (that makes it easy to perform HTTP(S) requests in PHP with a single line of code) which will be installed via Composer (I think you probably know how Composer works as writing APIs is not really a beginner task :)).

How to install

For manual install, simply put composer.json and index.php somewhere on your server, install the Composer dependencies and run index.php!

For automatic installation (which will install a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS box including Apache, PHP etc. and perform Composer install via Vagrant) simply do a "vagrant up" in the folder where Vagrantfile is. Your application is then reachable under 192.168.33.45.

Please note that the application by default tries to get data from 192.168.33.44 which is part of the API server repo under (https://github.com/panique/simple-php-api).
