[](#ips-rest-api-documentation)

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require ova-studio/ips-api
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In `config/services.php`:

```
'ips' => [
    // ... other options
    'base_uri' => env('IPS_BASE_URI'),
    'api_key' => env('IPS_API_KEY'),
    'default_user' => env('IPS_DEFAULT_USER_ID')
]
```

Implemented API Methods
-----------------------

[](#implemented-api-methods)

### Sending private message

[](#sending-private-message)

[Method documentation](https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=core/messages/POSTindex)

Basic usage:

```
$api = new IpsApi();
$to_user_id = 1;

$api->system()->messages()->create($to_user_id, 'Message title', 'Message body');
```

By default, message is sent from default user from config file. If you want to send message from another user, you can set user id with `withSender` method.

```
$api = new IpsApi();
$from_user_id = 1;
$to_user_id = 1;

$api->system()->messages()->withSender($from_user_id)->create($to_user_id, 'Message title', 'Message body');
```

### Sending message to topic

[](#sending-message-to-topic)

[Method documentation](https://invisioncommunity.com/developers/rest-api?endpoint=forums/posts/POSTindex)

Basic usage:

```
$api = new IpsApi();
$topic_id = 1;

$api->forums()->posts()->create($topic_id, 'Message HTML body');
```

By default, message is sent from default user from config file. If you want to send message from another user, you can set user id with `withAuthor(int $author, ?string $author_name = null)` method.

If author ID is equal 0, author name is required.

```
$api = new IpsApi();
$from_user_id = 1;
$topic_id = 1;

$api->forums()->posts()
        ->withAuthor($from_user_id) // or ->withAuthor(0, 'Somename')
