REST API SDK for PHP

This repository contains PayPal's PHP SDK and samples for REST API.

Before starting to use the sdk, please be aware of the existing issues and currently unavailable or upcoming features for the REST APIs. (which the sdks are based on)

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.3 or above
• curl, json & openssl extensions must be enabled

Installation

- Using Composer

composer is the recommended way to install the SDK. To use the SDK with project, add the following dependency to your application's composer.json and run composer update --no-dev to fetch the SDK.

You can download composer using instructions on Composer Official Website.

Prerequisites

• composer for fetching dependencies (See http://getcomposer.org)

Steps to Install :

Currently, Paypal PHP Rest API SDK is available at https://packagist.org. To use it in your project, you need to include it as a dependency in your project composer.json file. It can be done in two ways :

• Running composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:* command on your project root location (where project composer.json is located.)

• Or, manually editing composer.json file require field, and adding "paypal\rest-api-sdk-php" : "*" inside it.

The resultant sample composer.json would look like this:

- Direct Download (without using Composer)

If you do not want to use composer, you can grab the SDK zip that contains Paypal PHP Rest API SDK with all its dependencies with it.

Steps to Install :

• Download zip archive with desired version from our Releases. Each release will have a direct-download-*.zip that contains PHP Rest API SDK and its dependencies.

• Unzip and copy vendor directory inside your project, e.g. project root directory.

• If your application has a bootstrap/autoload file, you should add include '<vendor directory location>/vendor/autoload.php' in it. The location of the <vendor directory> should be replaced based on where you downloaded vendor directory in your application.

• This autoload.php file registers a custom autoloader that can autoload the PayPal SDK files, that allows you to access PHP SDK system in your application.

Running the sample

• Clone the repo and navigate to the samples folder.
• Samples have dependency on the sdk and you can use composer to get the dependencies. Ensure that you have composer installed on your machine, navigate to the root folder and run composer update --no-dev to fetch the SDK.
• Optionally, update the bootstrap.php file with your own client Id and client secret, that you could find from the developer portal
• Run any of the samples in the 'samples' folder to see what the APIs can do.

Usage

To write an app that uses the SDK

• Update your project's composer.json file, and add dependency on PHP Rest API SDK by running composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:* and run composer update --no-dev to fetch all dependencies.

• Copy the sample configuration file sdk_config.ini to a location of your choice and let the SDK know your config path using the following define directive.

• Obtain your clientId and client secret from the developer portal. You will use them to create a OAuthTokenCredential object.
• Now you are all set to make your first API call. Create a resource object as per your need and call the relevant operation or invoke one of the static methods on your resource class.

SDK Configuration

The samples in this repo pick the SDK configuration from the sdk_config.ini file. If you do not want to use an ini file or want to pick your configuration dynamically, you can use the $apiContext->setConfig() method to pass in the configuration as a hashmap. See the sample/bootstrap.php file for an example.

Testing

There are two kinds of tests that we include in our sdk package. Unit tests, and Integration Tests.

• Unit Tests
  • Unit tests can be executed by running this command phpunit at Paypal SDK root location.
  • It executes the tests with configuration stored in phpunit.xml file.
• Integration Tests
  • Integration tests make curl requests to sandbox environments by default. It would test both unit as well as integration tests. To execute, run this command phpunit -c phpunit.integration.xml at Paypal SDK root location.
  • It executes the tests with configuration stored in phpunit.integration.xml file.
  • The configurations could be changed from tests\sdk_config.ini file.

Developer Notes

API Model Constructor

You can intialize the API objects by passing JSON string or Array representation of object to the constructor. E.g.:

Accessor Validation

We recently introduced a validation to determine if Model Object contains all the appropriate accessors (Getters and Setters) when converted from json response that we receive from Server.

This validation could be configured by updating the configuration settings in your sdk_config.ini file

Please visit our sample sdk_config.ini
