Xing PHP SDK
============

[](#xing-php-sdk)

This is a PHP Wrapper for the Xing API based on guzzle 6. It simplifies the process of authenticating and requesting permission.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The best way to install Xing SDK is through composer:

The best way to install php-sdk-for-XING is through composer:

1. Download the [`composer.phar`](https://getcomposer.org/composer.phar) executable or use the installer.

    ```
    $ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    ```
2. add the following to your composer.json

    ```
    {
        "require": {
        	"bahuma/xing-php-sdk": "dev-master"
        }
    }
    ```

    or just run

    ```
    $ composer require bahuma/xing-php-sdk
    ```
3. Run Composer: `php composer.phar install`

And you should be done.

Example
-------

[](#example)

You can find an advanced example in the file `sample.php`.

I recommend open this file and then read on.

Obtaining an Access Token
-------------------------

[](#obtaining-an-access-token)

To get an access token you first have to register your application. Head over to  and register yourself for a Xing application to get the consumer key/secret which you have to use with this package.

Then you have to call the following functions in this order:

1. `getRequestToken`

    Insert your `consumer_key` and your `consumer_secret` into the config array.

    Leave the `token` and `token_secret` blank.

    Then create a new XingSdk Object with this config.

    ```
    $config = [
      'consumer_key'    => CONSUMER_KEY,
      'consumer_secret' => CONSUMER_SECRET,
      'token'           => '',
      'token_secret'    => '',
    ];

    $xingSdk = new XingSDK($config);
    ```

    Then call the function with an url where the users are being redirected to after accepting the permissions. This URL is the callback-url.

    ```
    $result = $xing_api->getRequestToken("http://dev.bahuma.io/xing2?page=redirect");
    ```

    The function returns an array with three values.

    Save `request_token` and `request_token_secret` temporary. You'll need them in the next step.

    Redirect the user to the `authorize_url`. This is the page where the user clicks "accept".
2. `getAccessToken`

    This function should be executed at the callback-url.

    Insert your `consumer_key` and your `consumer_secret` into the config array.

    Insert the `request_token` and `request_token_secret` from the previous field into the config array.

    Then create a new XingSdk Object with this config.

    ```
    $config = [
      'consumer_key'    => CONSUMER_KEY,
      'consumer_secret' => CONSUMER_SECRET,
      'token'           => $the_temporary_saved_request_token,
      'token_secret'    => $the_temporary_saved_request_token_secret,
    ];

    $xingSdk = new XingSDK($config);
    ```

    Then call the function using the value of the GET-Parameter `oauth_verifier`, which has been set by XING.

    ```
    $result = $xing_api->getAccessToken($_GET['oauth_verifier']);
    ```

    The function returns an array containing the `access_token` and the `access_token_secret` for the user, which has logged in. Save these values in your database or somewhere else where you can access them later.

Making calls to the XING-API
----------------------------

[](#making-calls-to-the-xing-api)

Now that you have obtained an access token, you can call the API. For example let's get the profile details of the user, which has logged in.

1. Insert your `consumer_key` and your `consumer_secret` into the config array. Insert the `access_token` and `access_token_secret` from the user, which you have saved in your database,into the config array.

    ```
    $config = array(
      'consumer_key'    => 'abc123456789xyz',
      'consumer_secret' => 'abc123456789xyz',
      'token'           => $access_token_from_my_database,
      'token_secret'    => $access_token_secret_from_my_database,
    );
    ```
2. Create a new XingSDK Object.

    ```
    $xingSdk = new XingSDK($config);
    ```
3. Get the Guzzle Client from the XingSDK Object.

    ```
    $xingClient = $xingSDK->getClient();
    ```
4. Make the request.

    ```
    // "users/me" is the endpoint of the Xing-API. See https://dev.xing.com/docs/resources
    $response = $xingClient->get('users/me');
    ```
5. Bonus: Get the request in a usable format.

    ```
    $beautiful_response = XingSDK::decodeResponse($response);
    print_r($beautiful_response);
    ```

And that's it.

For help how to use other request methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH) or send content with your request, see the [Guzzle Documentation](http://docs.guzzlephp.org/).
