Forge PHP SDK

Forge API:

Overview

This PHP SDK enables you to easily integrate the Forge REST APIs into your application, including OAuth, Data Management, Model Derivative, and Design Automation.

Requirements

• PHP version 5.4.0 and above.
• A registered app on the Forge Developer portal.

Installation

Composer

To install the bindings via Composer, run:

composer require autodesk/forge-client

Manual Installation

Download the files and include autoload.php:

require_once('/path/to/ForgeClient/autoload.php');

Tutorial

Follow this tutorial to see a step-by-step authentication guide, and examples of how to use the Forge APIs.

Create an App

Create an app on the Forge Developer portal. Note the client ID and client secret.

Authentication

This SDK comes with an OAuth 2.0 client that allows you to retrieve 2-legged and 3-legged tokens. It also enables you to refresh 3-legged tokens. The tutorial uses 2-legged and 3-legged tokens for calling different Data Management endpoints.

2-Legged Token

This type of token is given directly to the application.

To get a 2-legged token run the following code. Note that you need to replace your-client-id and your-client-secret with your app's client ID and client secret.

<?php

Autodesk\Auth\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()
    ->setClientId('<your-client-id>')
    ->setClientSecret('<your-client-secret>');

$twoLeggedAuth = new Autodesk\Auth\OAuth2\TwoLeggedAuth();
$twoLeggedAuth->setScopes(['bucket:read']);

$twoLeggedAuth->fetchToken();

$tokenInfo = [
    'applicationToken' => $twoLeggedAuth->getAccessToken(),
    'expiry'           => time() + $twoLeggedAuth->getExpiresIn(),
];

3-Legged Token

Generate an Authentication URL

To ask for permissions from a user to retrieve an access token, you redirect the user to a consent page.

Replace your-client-id, your-client-secret, and your-redirect-url with your app's client ID, client secret, and redirect URL, and run the code to create a consent page URL.

Note that the redirect URL must match the callback URL you provided when you created the app.

<?php

Autodesk\Auth\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()
    ->setClientId('<your-client-id>')
    ->setClientSecret('<your-client-secret>')
    ->setRedirectUrl('<your-redirect-url>');

$threeLeggedAuth = new Autodesk\Auth\OAuth2\ThreeLeggedAuth();
$threeLeggedAuth->addScope('code:all');

$authUrl = $threeLeggedAuth->createAuthUrl();

Retrieve an Authorization Code

Once a user receives permissions on the consent page, Forge will redirect the page to the redirect URL you provided when you created the app. An authorization code is returned in the query string.

GET /callback?code={authorizationCode}

Retrieve an Access Token

Request an access token using the authorization code you received, as shown below:

<?php

Autodesk\Auth\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()
    ->setClientId('<your-client-id>')
    ->setClientSecret('<your-client-secret>')
    ->setRedirectUrl('<your-redirect-url>');

$threeLeggedAuth = new Autodesk\Auth\OAuth2\ThreeLeggedAuth();
$threeLeggedAuth->addScope('code:all');

$threeLeggedAuth->fetchToken($_GET['code']);

$userToken = [
    'accessToken'  => $threeLeggedAuth->getAccessToken(),
    'refreshToken' => $threeLeggedAuth->getRefreshToken(),
    'expiry'       => time() + $threeLeggedAuth->getExpiresIn(),
];

Note that access tokens expire after a short period of time. The expires_in field gives the validity of an access token in seconds. To refresh your access token, call the $threeLeggedAuth->refreshToken($refreshToken); method.

Example API Calls

Use the TwoLeggedAuth object or the ThreeLeggedAuth object to call the Forge APIs.

<?php


$apiInstance = new Autodesk\Forge\Client\Api\ActivitiesApi($threeLeggedAuth);
$activity = new \Autodesk\Forge\Client\Model\Activity(); // \Autodesk\Forge\Client\Model\Activity

$result = $apiInstance->createActivity($activity);
