Authentication as an application plus orgs are the main areas left. Quick Installation ------------------ [](#quick-installation) Using composer: ``` composer.phar require academe/particle ``` Add dependencies for the demo: ``` composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle ``` Example Class ------------- [](#example-class) All the examples have been put into the `Academe\Particle\Example` class. Please look into this class to see how the API works. In summary, this package generates PSR-7 messages, which are sent using any suitable HTTP client. At the moment there is no interpretation of the results - you need to get the results you need from the PSR-7 response, the format of which is documented in the [Particle API documentation](https://docs.particle.io/reference/api/). You can be run the examples like this: ``` use Academe\Particle\Example; $accessToken = 'your-account-access-token'; $deviceId = 'your-device-id'; $email = 'your-cloud-email-username'; $password = 'your-cloud-password'; // Instantiate the example class. $example = new Example($access_token, $device, $email, $password); // Flash the device with the Tinker application. $response = $example->flashTinker(); //$response = $example->setDeviceName(); //$response = $example->setDeviceName('christmas_turkey'); //$response = $example->listDevices(); //$response = $example->getDevice(); //$response = $example->getDevice('20033307343c03805403a138'); //$response = $example->newAccessToken(); //$response = $example->listTokens(); //$response = $example->deleteAccessToken('176a67f0d31647beac429252af8663a5040a945c'); //$response = $example->callFunction(); //$response = $example->listOranizations(); //$response = $example->removeMember('my_organization', 'someone@example.com'); echo "Status=" . $response->getStatusCode() . "\n"; echo "Reason=" . $response->getReasonPhrase() . "\n"; echo "Detail=" . $response->getBody() . "\n"; ``` Don't forget to install Guzzle (v6) to run these examples: ``` composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle ``` Most of the other examples in this class require the Tinker application to be installed as the first step. Implemented Features -------------------- [](#implemented-features) TODO: this list is not complete. Some additional features are implemented, and the API has further new features that are not yet implemented. ### Device Management [](#device-management) - List Devices - Get device info - Rename/Set device name - Call Particle Function on a device - Grab the value of a Particle Variable from a device - Remote (Over the Air) Firmware Uploads - Device signaling (make it flash a rainbow of colors) ### Access Token Management [](#access-token-management) - Generate a new access token - List your access tokens - Delete an access token ### Webhook Management [](#webhook-management) - List Webhooks - Add Webhook - Delete Webhook ### Account/Cloud Management [](#accountcloud-management) - Use a local particle cloud - Claim core or photon - Remove core or photon Not Yet Implemented Features ---------------------------- [](#not-yet-implemented-features) - OAuth Client Creation (/v1/clients) - Advanced OAuth topics ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 26% of packages Maintenance10 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
