Installation ------------ [](#installation) #### Composer installation [](#composer-installation) - [Download composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix) - Run `composer require messagebird/php-rest-api`. #### Manual installation [](#manual-installation) When you do not use Composer. You can git checkout or download [this repository](https://github.com/messagebird/php-rest-api/archive/master.zip) and include the MessageBird API client manually. Usage ----- [](#usage) We have put some self-explanatory examples in the *examples* directory, but here is a quick breakdown on how it works. First, you need to set up a **MessageBird\\Client**. Be sure to replace **YOUR\_ACCESS\_KEY** with something real. ``` require 'autoload.php'; $messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY'); ``` That's easy enough. Now we can query the server for information. Lets use getting your balance overview as an example: ``` // Get your balance $balance = $messageBird->balance->read(); ``` Conversations WhatsApp Sandbox ------------------------------ [](#conversations-whatsapp-sandbox) To use the WhatsApp sandbox you need to add `\MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX` to the list of features you want enabled. Don't forget to replace `YOUR_ACCESS_KEY` with your actual access key. ``` $messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY', null, [\MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX]); ``` If you use a custom `HttpClient` you will have to manually direct Conversation API request to the WhatsApp sandbox endpoint.
