#Enterprise Edition

Enterprise Edition and Community Edition of the client have been merged into a one and unique package. Every user shall now use the same client package. Learn about migration instructions here.

#Deprecation notice

Note that our PHP client is backward compatible.

For example, if your PIM is currently a v6.0, you can still use a 1.0 version of the PHP client. The new endpoints available in v6.0 will not be available in the v1.0 of the PHP client.

#Installation

api-php-client use Composer. The first step is to download Composer:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

We use HTTPPlug as the HTTP client abstraction layer. If you want to know more about this, it's documented here. In this example, we will use Guzzle v6 as the HTTP client implementation.

Run the following command to require the libraries in your project:

$ php composer.phar require akeneo/api-php-client php-http/guzzle6-adapter:^2.0 http-interop/http-factory-guzzle:^1.0

If you don't know which implementation to choose, we strongly recommend you to use Guzzle v6, as in the previous example.

#Initialization of the client

You first need to initialize the client with your credentials (client id, secret, username and password).

If you don't have any client id/secret, let's take a look at this page to create it.

<?php
    
    require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
    
    $clientBuilder = new \Akeneo\Pim\ApiClient\AkeneoPimClientBuilder('http://localhost/');
    $client = $clientBuilder->buildAuthenticatedByPassword('client_id', 'secret', 'admin', 'admin');

You can authenticate to the client with your token/refresh token as well.

<?php
    
    require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
    
    $clientBuilder = new \Akeneo\Pim\ApiClient\AkeneoPimClientBuilder('http://localhost/');
    $client = $clientBuilder->buildAuthenticatedByToken('client_id', 'secret', 'token', 'refresh_token');

#Make your first call

Getting a product is as simple as:

$product = $client->getProductUuidApi()->get('1cf1d135-26fe-4ac2-9cf5-cdb69ada0547');
    echo $product['uuid'];
