Initialize the client

Begin by initializing an instance of Deskpro\API\DeskproClient, with the URL to your Deskpro instance.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
 copy

Guzzle is used to make HTTP requests. A default Guzzle client will be used by the library, but a custom instance may be provided.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$httpClient = new Client([
    'timeout' => 60
]);
$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com', $httpClient);

// Or use the setter method.
// $client->setHTTPClient($httpClient);
 copy

An instance of Psr\Log\LoggerInterface may also be passed to the constructor when initializing the client.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;

$logger = new Logger('name');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('path/to/your.log', Logger::DEBUG));

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com', null, $logger);

// Or use the setter method.
// $client->setLogger($logger);
 copy

Authenticating

Many API methods require authentication. Set the ID of the user to authenticate with and either the auth "key" or "token".

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');

// Use the setAuthKey method to authenticate using a key.
$personId = 1;
$authKey  = 'dev-admin-code';
$client->setAuthKey($personId, $authKey);
 copy

Requests

GET

Sends a GET request to the API.

DeskproClientInterface::get($endpoint, array $params = []) : APIResponseInterface

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

try {
    $resp = $client->get('/articles');
    print_r($resp->getData());
} catch (APIException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

// Parameters are interpolated into the provided URL.
// The next request will be made to "/articles/101?limit=25".
$params = [
    'id'    => 101,
    'limit' => 25
];
$client->get('/articles/{id}', $params);
 copy

POST

Sends a POST request to the API.

DeskproClientInterface::post($endpoint, $body = null, array $params = []) : APIResponseInterface

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

try {
    $body = [
        'title'   => 'Mary Had a Little Lamb',
        'content' => 'Whose fleece was white as snow.'
    ];
    $resp = $client->post('/articles', $body);
    print_r($resp->getData());
} catch (APIException $e) {

$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

try {
    $resp = $client->batch([
        '105' => [
            'method' => 'GET',
            'url'    => '/articles/105'
        ],
        'new' => [

            ]
        ]
    ]);

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');

try {
    $body = [
        'title'   => 'Mary Had a Little Lamb',
        'content' => 'Whose fleece was white as snow.'
    ];
    $params = [

    ];
    $headers = [
        'X-Custom-Value' => 'some value'
    ];
    $resp = $client->request('PUT', '/articles/{id}', $body, $params, $headers);
    print_r($resp->getData());
} catch (APIException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
 copy

Asynchronous Requests

Each of the methods get, post, put, delete, batch, and request have asynchronous versions which return a promise.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\APIResponseInterface;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

$promise = $client->getAsync('/articles');
$promise->then(function(APIResponseInterface $resp) {
    print_r($resp->getData());
}, function(APIException $err) {
    echo $err->getMessage();
});
$promise->wait();

$body = [
    'title'   => 'Mary Had a Little Lamb',
    'content' => 'Whose fleece was white as snow.'
];
$promise = $client->postAsync('/articles', $body);
$promise->then(function(APIResponseInterface $resp) {
    print_r($resp->getData());
}, function(APIException $err) {
    echo $err->getMessage();
});
$promise->wait();
 copy

Default Headers

Sets the headers sent with each request.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');

// Send these headers and values with each request made to the API.
$client->setDefaultHeaders([
    'X-Custom-Value' => 'foo'
]);
 copy

Response

Each of the methods get, post, put, delete, batch, and request returns an instance of APIResponseInterface.

APIResponseInterface::getData() : array APIResponseInterface::getMeta() : array APIResponseInterface::getLinked() : array

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

try {
    $resp = $client->get('/articles');
    print_r($resp->getData());
    print_r($resp->getMeta());
    print_r($resp->getLinked());
} catch (APIException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
 copy

For asynchronous requests, an instance of APIResponseInterface is passed to the resolver function.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\APIResponseInterface;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

$promise = $client->getAsync('/articles');
$promise->then(function(APIResponseInterface $resp) {
    print_r($resp->getData());
});
$promise->wait();
 copy

The APIResponseInterface interface implements ArrayAccess, Iterator, and Countable.

<?php
use Deskpro\API\DeskproClient;
use Deskpro\API\Exception\APIException;

$client = new DeskproClient('http://deskpro.company.com');
$client->setAuthKey(1, 'dev-admin-code');

try {
    $resp = $client->get('/articles');
    echo "Found " . count($resp) . " articles\n";
    foreach($resp as $article) {
        echo $article['title'] . "\n";
    }
} catch (APIException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
 copy
