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.

Shoutbox.net Developer API
Shoutbox.net is a Developer API designed to send transactional emails at scale. This documentation covers all integration methods, from direct API calls to full framework integration.
Setup
For these integrations to work, you will need an account on Shoutbox.net. You can create and copy the required API key on the Shoutbox.net dashboard!
The API key is required for any call to the Shoutbox.net backend; for SMTP, the API key is your password and 'shoutbox' the user to send emails.
Integration Methods
There are three main ways to integrate with Shoutbox:
- Direct API calls (no dependencies)
- Using our PHP library with Composer
- Laravel framework integration
