README

This is a small PHP package to send requests against the NFON administration portal REST API.

Requirements

You need to have

1. the main URL to the API (i.e. https://api09.nfon.com)
2. your API public and (i.e. NFON-ABCDEF-123456)
3. your API secret and (i.e. gAp3bTxxUev5JkxOcBdeC5Absm7J84jp6mEhJZd3XiLdjzoGSF)
4. your account name (i.e. K1234)

Note

If you do not have this information, please contact your NFON partner for assistance.

Warning

Never share your API secret!

Usage

Install the package

The easiest way for installation is to use composer to use this package:

bash$ composer.phar require art-pub/nfon-api-client-php

Create a request

    ...
    use NFONAPIClient\client;
    ...
    $apiBasePath = "https://api09.nfon.com"; // <-- insert the API base path provided by NFON
    $apiKey      = "NFON-KEY"; // <-- insert the API key provided by NFON
    $apiSecret   = "NFON-SECRET"; // <-- insert the API secret here
    $account     = "NFON-ACCOUNT"; // <-- insert the account name here
    $path = "/api/customers/" . $account . "/phone-books";
    $method = "GET";
    $body = "";
    $contentType = "application/json";

    // calculate the signature
    [$requestDate, $requestContentType, $requestContentMD5, $signature] = client::getAuthentication($path, $apiSecret, $method, $body, $contentType);

    // make the request
    [$response, $success] = client::request(
            apiBasePath: $apiBasePath,
            apiKey: $apiKey,
            signature: $signature,
            method: $method,
            path: $path,
            apiDate: $requestDate,
            contentMD5: $requestContentMD5,
            body: $body,
            contentLength: strlen($body),
            contentType: $requestContentType,
            apiHeaders: [], // <-- you can add additional request headers here
        );
    if ($success) {
        print_r($response);
        print PHP_EOL;
    } else {
        print "ERROR: $response".PHP_EOL;
    }
    ...

The result is JSON-like, but difficult to read or process. The $response will therefore have a key dataMap having the result in a more useful structure, holding the original data still in $response['data'] (for single results) or $response['items'] (for multiple results).

Original data:

...
[items] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [href] => /api/customers/K1234/phone-books/1234
                    [links] => Array
                        (
                        )

                    [data] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => Array
                                (
                                    [name] => phonebookEntryId
                                    [value] => 1234
                                )

                            [1] => Array
                                (
                                    [name] => displayName
                                    [value] => Some User
                                )

                            [2] => Array
                                (
                                    [name] => displayNumber
                                    [value] => +49 (4711) 8015
                                )

                            [3] => Array
                                (
                                    [name] => restricted
                                    [value] => 
                                )

                        )

                )
...

DataMap:

...
    [dataMap] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [phonebookEntryId] => 1234
                    [displayName] => Some User
                    [displayNumber] => +49 (4711) 0815
                    [restricted] => 
                )
...

Good to know

Datasets and Pagination

Endpoints that return more than one record will return a maximum of 100 records on the first request. The result contains the following information:

Href: Path of the current request

Total: Amount of all datasets (not pages!)

Offset: Offset starting with 0

Size: Amount of maximum results in the response. You can set the amount in the request with the parameter pageSize=XXX with XXX being max. 100.

Links: Array of links including the first, the next and the last URL to retrieve all data. See LinksMap["first"], LinksMap["last"] and LinksMap["next"] in the example above.

Important

Please note: You have to iterate through all those links to retrieve all data. Just repeat with the next given Href until your current Href (path of the current request) matches the last entry.

Important

If the last entry is empty, you already have all data in the current response.
