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.
Informations about the package foursquare-api-client
JcrollFoursquareApiClient
Find the Symfony Bundle for this library here.
Why?
There is no library currently built to interact with the foursquare api using the fantastic Guzzle HTTP Client library. Guzzle is awesome and supplies a lot of great things for building web service clients. Guzzle is fully unit tested which allows this library to be a light wrapper around the Guzzle core. You can read more about Guzzle here.
Installation
The JcrollFoursquareApiClient is available on Packagist (jcroll/foursquare-api-client) and as such installable via Composer.
If you do not use Composer, you can grab the code from GitHub, and use any PSR-4 compatible autoloader (e.g. the Symfony ClassLoader component) to load the library's classes.
Guzzle Versioning
This package is compatible with different versions of Guzzle (see below):
| Guzzle Version | Foursquare Client Version |
|---|---|
| ~3 | ~1 |
| ~4, ~5 | ~2 |
| ~6 | ~3 |
Composer example
Add JcrollFoursquareApiBundle in your composer.json:
Download the library:
After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader somewhere in your code:
Usage
You can find a list of the client's available commands in the bundle's client.json but basically they should be the same as the api endpoints listed in the docs.
Oauth Integration
Endpoints in the foursquare API that are user specific will require authorization with foursquare using the Oauth 2.0 protocol.
If you're using the HWIOAuthBundle with Symfony you can install the JcrollFoursquareApiBundle for automatic integration with your oauth requests.
Otherwise oauth protocol authorization is beyond the scope of this library but you can find a list of possible libraries here. After authorization you can pass the access token into the client for user specific access.
