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.

Installation
To use the client library you'll need to have created a Nexmo account.
To install the PHP client library to your project, we recommend using Composer.
You don't need to clone this repository to use this library in your own projects. Use Composer to install it from Packagist.
If you're new to Composer, here are some resources that you may find useful:
- Composer's Getting Started page from Composer project's documentation.
- A Beginner's Guide to Composer from the good people at ScotchBox.
Usage
If you're using Composer, make sure the autoloader is included in your project's bootstrap file:
Create a Token Generator with the Application ID and Private Key of the Nexmo Application you want to access:
You can then retrieve a generated JWT token by calling the generate() method on the Token Generator:
This will return a string token that can be used for Bearer Authentication to Nexmo APIs that require JWTs.
Examples
Generating a token with a specific Time To Live
By default, Nexmo JWT tokens are generated with an Time To Live, or TTL, of 15 minutes after generation. In cases where the token lifetime
should be different, you can override this setting by calling the setTTL() method on the Token Generator and passing the length of seconds
that the token should be valid for
Setting ACLs
Nexmo JWTs will default to full access to all of the paths for an application, but this may not be desirable for cases where clients
may need restricted access. You can specify the paths that a JWT token is valid for by using the setPaths() or addPath() methods
to set the path information in bulk, or add individual paths in a more fluent interface.
For more information on assigning ACL information, please see How to generate JWTs on the Nexmo Developer Platform
