README

PHP SDK for Contentful's Content Management API. The SDK requires at least PHP 7.2 or PHP 8.0 and up.

Setup

Add this package to your application by using Composer and executing the following command:

composer require contentful/contentful-management

Then, if you haven't already, include the Composer autoloader:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Basic concepts

The first thing that needs to be done is initiating an instance of Contentful\Management\Client by giving it an access token. All actions performed using this instance of the Client will be performed with the privileges of the user this token belongs to.

$client = new \Contentful\Management\Client('access-token');

When working with space-scoped or environment-scoped resources, you can use proxies. They are lazy-references to a space or an environment, and they allow you to avoid repeating the space and environment ID when making API calls:

// Without space proxy
$deliveryApiKeys = $client->getDeliveryApiKeys($spaceId);
$roles = $client->getRoles($spaceId);
// With space proxy
$spaceProxy = $client->getSpaceProxy($spaceId);
$deliveryApiKeys = $spaceProxy->getDeliveryApiKeys();
$roles = $spaceProxy->getRoles();

// Without environment proxy
$assets = $client->getAssets($spaceId, $environmentId);
$entries = $client->getEntries($spaceId, $environmentId);
// With environment proxy
$environmentProxy = $client->getEnvironmentProxy($spaceId, $environmentId);
$assets = $environmentProxy->getAssets();
$entries = $environmentProxy->getEntries();

    $status = $environment->getSystemProperties()->getStatus()->getId();

Rate limits and retrying

Some API calls are subject to rate limiting as described here. The SDK can be instructed to retry a call for a number of times via the max_rate_limit_retries option:

$client = new \Contentful\Management\Client('KEY',['max_rate_limit_retries' => 2]);
$proxy = $client->getSpaceProxy('SPACE_ID');
$envName = uniqid();
$env = new \Contentful\Management\Resource\Environment($envName);
$proxy->create($env); //this call will retry two times (so three calls couting the original one), before throwing an exception

If the retry should happen in more than 60 seconds (as defined by the X-Contentful-RateLimit-Second-Remaining header here ), the call will throw a RateWaitTooLongException exception. This was implemented so that your scripts do not run for too long.

Contributing

PRs are welcome. For a reproducible local setup, open this repository in its included dev container. The container installs the project dependencies automatically when it is created.

After the container is ready, run:

composer test-quick-fail
