basecrm-php

BaseCRM Official API V2 library client for PHP

Installation

The recommended way to install the client is through Composer.

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version :

composer require basecrm/basecrm-php

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Then we instantiate a client (as shown below)

Build a client

Using this api without authentication gives an error

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);

Client Options

The following options are available while instantiating a client:

• accessToken: Personal access token
• baseUrl: Base url for the api
• userAgent: Default user-agent for all requests
• timeout: Request timeout
• verbose: Verbose/debug mode
• verifySSL: Whether to verify SSL or not. Default: true

Architecture

The library follows few architectural principles you should understand before digging deeper.

1. Interactions with resources are done via service objects.
2. Service objects are exposed as properties on client instances.
3. Service objects expose resource-oriented actions.
4. Actions return associative arrays.

For example, to interact with deals API you will use \BaseCRM\DealsService, which you can get if you call:

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$client->deals; // \BaseCRM\DealsService

To retrieve list of resources and use filtering you will call #all method:

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$client->deals->all(['organization_id' => google['id'], 'hot' => true]);

To find a resource by it's unique identifier use #get method:

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$client->deals->get($id) # => array

When you'd like to create a resource, or update it's attributes you want to use either #create or #update methods. For example if you want to create a new deal you will call:

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$deal = $client->deals->create(['name' => 'Website redesign', 'contact_id' => $id]);

To destroy a resource use #destroy method:

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$client->deals->destroy($id) // => true

There other non-CRUD operations supported as well. Please contact corresponding service files for in-depth documentation.

Full example

Create a new organization and after that change it's attributes (website).

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$lead = $client->leads->create(['organization_name' => 'Design service company']);

$lead['website'] = "http://www.designservices.com"
$client->leads->update($lead['id'], $lead);

Error handling

When you instantiate a client or make any request via service objects, exceptions can be raised for multiple of reasons e.g. a network error, an authentication error, an invalid param error etc.

Sample below shows how to properly handle exceptions:

try
{
  // Instantiate a client.
  $client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['accessToken' => getenv('BASECRM_ACCESS_TOKEN')]);
  $lead = $client->leads->create(['organization_name' => 'Design service company']);

  print_r($lead);
}
catch (\BaseCRM\Errors\ConfigurationError $e)
{
  // Invalid client configuration option
}
catch (\BaseCRM\Errors\ResourceError $e)
{
  // Resource related error
  print('Http status = ' . $e->getHttpStatusCode() . "\n");
  print('Request ID = ' . $e->getRequestId() . "\n");
  foreach ($e->errors as $error)
  {
    print('field = ' . $error['field'] . "\n");
    print('code = ' . $error['code'] . "\n");
    print('message = ' . $error['message'] . "\n");
    print('details = ' . $error['details'] . "\n");
  }
}
catch (\BaseCRM\Errors\RequestError $e)
{
  // Invalid query parameters, authentication error etc.
}
catch (\BaseCRM\Errors\Connectionerror $e)
{
  // Network communication error, curl error is returned
  print('Errno = ' . $e->getErrno() . "\n");
  print('Error message = ' . $e->getErrorMessage() . "\n");
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
  // Other kind of exception
}

Sync API

The following sample code shows how to perform a full synchronization flow using high-level wrapper.

First of all you need an instance of \BaseCRM\Client. High-level \BaseCRM\Sync wrapper uses \BaseCRM\SyncService to interact with the Sync API. In addition to the client instance, you must provide a device’s UUID within $deviceUUID parameter. The device’s UUID must not change between synchronization sessions, otherwise the sync service will not recognize the device and will send all the data again.

$client = new \BaseCRM\Client(['access_token' => '<YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>']);
$sync = new \BaseCRM\Sync($client, '<YOUR_DEVICES_UUID');

Now all you have to do is to call fetch method and pass a block that you might use to store fetched data to a database.

$sync->fetch(function ($meta, $data) {
  $options = [
    'table' => $meta['type'],
    'statement' => $meta['sync']['event_type'],
    'properties' => $data
  ];
  return \DAO::execute($options) ? \BaseCRM\Sync::ACK : \BaseCRM\Sync::NACK;
});

Notice that you must call either #ack or #nack method.
