FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

PHP Client for EasyBib API
Use this to request data from the EasyBib API. The client uses Guzzle under the hood for the actual HTTP calls.

Usage
Instantiation
Two OAuth grant types are currently supported: JSON Web Token, and Authorization Code.
JSON Web Token Grant
Authorization Code Grant
In order to use an Authorization Code Grant, you will need an
implementation of RedirectorInterface from the OAuth2 Client library in order
to allow the API client to redirect the user and get back an authorization code.
You can find more information at an example in
the README for that project.
Retrieving api resources
Once you have an API object, you can use it to traverse the API.
The two entry points are $api->getUser() and $api->getProjects().
getUser() will return a ApiResource representing the user; calling
getResourceData()->getRelations() on the user api resource will return a set
of available references which can be called from the user. So the call chain
for a particular project's citations might be
which would return a Collection of citations. Some more examples:
Session backend
By default, the ApiBuilder uses native PHP sessions wrapped by a Symfony
session interface. You can implement a different session backend; see
the Symfony docs
for more information.
Resetting the session
It is possible to reset the token store of the OAuth2 client, such as when
a guest user registers or logs in, and needs a new token which will be
associated with the permanent user account. In this case, the application
consuming the API must instantiate a new ApiTraverser or call setCache(),
with a new cache or cache namespace, to ensure that the ApiTraverser will
not return api resources cached during the original session.
By default, ApiTraverser uses a PHP-array-based cache, so unless you have
implemented a different caching backend, you can simply instantiate a new
ApiTraverser, either directly or via the ApiBuilder.
