Guzzle PHP RESTful Web Service Framework
Guzzle is a PHP framework to handle HTTP requests for RESTful web service clients. Using Guzzle will allow you to make CURL requests with a simple interface to communicate with the web service.
- All the power of cURL with a simple interface.
- Persistent connections and parallel requests.
- Streams request and response bodies
- Service descriptions for quickly building clients.
- Powered by the Symfony2 EventDispatcher.
- Use all of the code or only specific components.
- Plugins for caching, logging, OAuth, mocks, and more
- Includes a custom node.js webserver to test your clients.
Twitter Example
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Guzzle\Http\Client;
// Create a client and provide a base URL
$client = new Client('https://api.github.com');
// Create a request with basic Auth
$request = $client->get('/user')->setAuth('user', 'pass');
// Send the request and get the response
$response = $request->send();
echo $response->getBody();
// >>> {"type":"User", ...
echo $response->getHeader('Content-Length');
// >>> 792
// Create a client to work with the Twitter API
$client = new Client('https://api.twitter.com/{version}', array(
'version' => '1.1'
));
// Sign all requests with the OauthPlugin
$client->addSubscriber(new Guzzle\Plugin\Oauth\OauthPlugin(array(
'consumer_key' => '***',
'consumer_secret' => '***',
'token' => '***',
'token_secret' => '***'
)));
echo $client->get('statuses/user_timeline.json')->send()->getBody();
// >>> {"public_gists":6,"type":"User" ...
// Create a tweet using POST
$request = $client->post('statuses/update.json', null, array(
'status' => 'Tweeted with Guzzle, http://guzzlephp.org'
));
// Send the request and parse the JSON response into an array
$data = $request->send()->json();
echo $data['text'];
// >>> Tweeted with Guzzle, http://t.co/kngJMfRk
