Install

Composer

Composer users can simply run:

$ composer require exads/exads-api-client-php

at the root of their projects. To utilize the library, include Composer's vendor/autoload.php in the scripts that will use the Exads classes.

For example,

<?php

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

$client = new Exads\Client('https://api.exoclick.com/v2/');
// ...

Standalone (not recommended)

The library ships with a basic autoload.php file which allows you to use it without composer. See the latest version available : https://github.com/EXADS/exads-api-client-php/releases

$ mkdir vendor
$ wget -q https://github.com/EXADS/exads-api-client-php/archive/v1.2.2.tar.gz
$ tar -xf v1.2.2.tar.gz -C vendor/
$ rm v1.2.2.tar.gz

Then your bootstrap script should look like :

<?php

// This file ships with the library
require 'vendor/exads-api-client-php-1.2.2/lib/autoload.php';

$client = new Exads\Client('https://api.exoclick.com/v2/');

Basic usage of exads-api-client-php client

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

try {
    $client = new Exads\Client('https://api.exoclick.com/v2/');

    // There are two authentication methods:
    // a. with username and password
    $sessionToken = $client->login->getToken('username', 'password');
    // b. with APItoken
    // $sessionToken = $client->login->getToken('APItoken');

    $client->setApiToken($sessionToken);
    // ...
    $campaigns = $client->campaigns->all();
    // ...
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    die($e->getMessage());
}

See test/Exads/Tests/UrlsTest.php for a full list of available methods.

Passing parameters to end points

As describe in the API documentation, most of the GET entry points accept parameters for filtering the result of the call. In particular, for long collections, you should use offset for paginating the results the API returns (you cannot get more than 50 elements out of 1 call, that's when offset comes in play). See the following examples :

<?php
...

// Getting the total number of carriers
$client->collections->carriers(array('count' => true));

// Getting the carriers 50..100
$client->collections->carriers(array('offset' => 50));

Please refer to the documentation for the full list of parameters allowed for each entry point.
