jobadder-api-client

A PHP API client for JobAdder, produced via jane-openapi

Installation

composer require varspool/jobadder-api-client

Usage

The namespace is Varspool\JobAdder. The main client is Varspool\JobAdder\Client. The Client class provides access to a set of API resources:

$contacts = $client->contacts()->findContacts(['limit' => 3]);
$ads = $client->jobAds()->getJobAds();

You can also access the resources directly from the Varspool\JobAdder\V2\Resource namespace.

Instantiating a Client

The Client (and any Resource objects you create yourself) need to be given a configured HTTP client to be able to communicate with JobAdder. This HTTP client should implement the HttpClient or the HttpAsyncClient from HTTPlug. There are HTTPPlug adapters for most popular HTTP clients in PHP (e.g. Guzzle)

Here's how you might use a Guzzle 6 client with this library:

• Install the Guzzle adapter: composer require php-http/guzzle6-adapter

• Pass the Guzzle client into the JobAdder client via an adapter:

  use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
  use Varspool\JobAdder\Client as JobAdderClient;
  use Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client as GuzzleAdapter;
  
  $guzzle = new GuzzleClient($options);
  $http = new GuzzleAdapter($guzzle);
  $jobadder = new JobAdderClient($http);

OAuth and the Authorization header

Because the client is injected, you can configure things like the base URI (you should probably use the api part of the OAuth response from JobAdder), and the Authorization header:

// Get these both from the OAuth token response
$api = 'https://localapi.jobadder.com/v2';
$token = 'abcdef01234567890';

$guzzle = new GuzzleClient([
    'base_uri' => $api,
    'headers' => [
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $token
    ]
]);

Note that this client doesn't deal with the OAuth flow; it can take over once you have a valid access token.
