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.

Informations about the package edmunds-php-api

edmunds-php-api

Collection of API resources for the Edmunds vehicle API(s). The http client used is Guzzle (http://guzzlephp.org).

Usage

You will first need an API key. You can go to http://developer.edmunds.com and apply for a developer API key. There are 4 different APIs that make up the entirety of the Edmunds API, you will have to apply for a key for each. I won't go into too much detail here about that process.

In the simplest form, you can use it as follows:

In your composer.json, add the following dependency (replace {version} with latest version):

    "rfink/edmunds-php-api": "{version}"

Then run composer update from the command line.

Inside your app, you can bootstrap the guzzle client by adding the following code:

    $vehicleClient = \RF\Edmunds\Vehicle\Client::factory(array(
        'api_key' => '{your_api_key_here}',
        'base_url' => 'http://api.edmunds.com'
    ));

Then, you can run commands:

    $args = array('id' => '100533210');
    $command = $client->getCommand('modelYear.findById', $args);
    $response = $command->execute()->toArray();

Response will contain a plain php array representing the API response payload.

The best way to see how this works in action is to take a peek at the unit tests, as well as the API descriptions at the Edmunds developer website. The service description JSON files are also a good place to see required parameters for each call, and the response format.

A symfony2 bundle is being developed to wrap this as a service as well, see https://github.com/rfink/EdmundsBundle

This API is still in heavy, heavy alpha mode. Use in production at your own risk.
