GLS shipping API for Eastern Europa (HU, RO, SK, CZ, SI, HR) GLS webservice interface via SOAP-XML requests

Installing

The easiest way to install the API is using Composer:

composer require schiggi/gls-cee-shipping-api

Then use your framework's autoload, or simply add:

<?php
  require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Getting started

You can start making requests to the GLS API just by creating a new API instance

<?php
    $api = new GLS\API([
        'username'          => 'teszt',
        'password'          => 'teszt',
        'client_number'     => '100000004',
        'country_code'      => 'HU'
    ]);

The API class takes care of the communication between your app and the GLS servers via SOAP-XML requests.

Using Monolog to log requests and responses to a log file

Monolog is used optionally to log request/responses with DPD server.

You need to specific a log dir when creating a new API instance. Log files while have the name "api-gls-consumer-{date}.log". If omitted, no logs will be written.

<?php
  $api = new GLS\API([
    'username'          => 'teszt',
    'password'          => 'teszt',
    'client_number'     => '100000004',
    'country_code'      => 'HU',
    'log_dir'  => dirname(__FILE__).'/'
  ]);
