FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Configuration

The api options

The third parameter of LinkedIn::api is an array with options. Below is a table of array keys that you may use.

Option name Description
body The body of a HTTP request. Put your xml string here.
format Set this to 'json', 'xml' or 'simple_xml' to override the default value.
headers This is HTTP headers to the request
json This is an array with json data that will be encoded to a json string. Using this option you do need to specify a format.
response_data_type To override the response format for one request
query This is an array with query parameters

Changing request format

The default format when communicating with LinkedIn API is json. You can let the API do json_encode for you. The following code shows you how.

When using array('json'=>$body) as option the format will always be json. You can change the request format in three ways.

Understanding response data type

The data type returned from LinkedIn::api can be configured. You may use the LinkedIn::setResponseDataType or as an option for LinkedIn::api

Below is a table that specifies what the possible return data types are when you call LinkedIn::api.

Type Description
array An assosiative array. This can only be used with the json format.
simple_xml A SimpleXMLElement. See PHP manual. This can only be used with the xml format.
psr7 A PSR7 response.
stream A file stream.
string A plain old string.

Using different scopes

If you want to define special scopes when you authenticate the user you should specify them when you are generating the login url. If you don't specify scopes LinkedIn will use the default scopes that you have configured for the app.
