Obtaining an Access Token
To get an access token you first have to register your application. Head over to https://dev.xing.com and register yourself for a Xing application to get the consumer key/secret which you have to use with this package.
Then you have to call the following functions in this order:
-
getRequestToken
Insert your
consumer_key
and yourconsumer_secret
into the config array.Leave the
token
andtoken_secret
blank.Then create a new XingSdk Object with this config.
Then call the function with an url where the users are being redirected to after accepting the permissions. This URL is the callback-url.
The function returns an array with three values.
Save
request_token
andrequest_token_secret
temporary. You'll need them in the next step.Redirect the user to the
authorize_url
. This is the page where the user clicks "accept". -
getAccessToken
This function should be executed at the callback-url.
Insert your
consumer_key
and yourconsumer_secret
into the config array.Insert the
request_token
andrequest_token_secret
from the previous field into the config array.Then create a new XingSdk Object with this config.
Then call the function using the value of the GET-Parameter
oauth_verifier
, which has been set by XING.The function returns an array containing the
access_token
and theaccess_token_secret
for the user, which has logged in. Save these values in your database or somewhere else where you can access them later.
Making calls to the XING-API
Now that you have obtained an access token, you can call the API. For example let's get the profile details of the user, which has logged in.
-
Insert your
consumer_key
and yourconsumer_secret
into the config array. Insert theaccess_token
andaccess_token_secret
from the user, which you have saved in your database,into the config array. -
Create a new XingSDK Object.
-
Get the Guzzle Client from the XingSDK Object.
-
Make the request.
- Bonus: Get the request in a usable format.
And that's it.
For help how to use other request methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH) or send content with your request, see the Guzzle Documentation.
