API clients for consuming LinkShare developer APIs.

What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

This package provides clients for LinkShare's developer APIs.

[LinkShare Developer's Portal](https://developers.rakutenmarketing.com/)

Implementation is based on [The PHP League's OAuth 2.0 client libraries](https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client).

Currently implemented APIs:

- Link Locator (partial implementation)
- Product Search

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can find examples of how to use the APIs under the examples folder.

Generally though, a new API client is created in the following fashion:

```
// Options contain the information required for
// authenticating against the API endpoints.
$options = [
    // Required: The client ID as provided by the developer's portal
    // This will vary for each API.
    'client_id'     => $clientId,

    // Required: The client secret as provided by the developer's portal
    // This will vary for each API.
    'client_secret' => $password,

    // Required: The access token as provided by the developer's portal
    // This will vary for each API.
    'access_token'  => $access_token,

    // Required: Your LinkShare Affiliate username
    'username'      => $username,

    // Required: Your LinkShare Affiliate password
    'password'      => $password,

    // Required: Your LinkShare Affiliate Site ID
    'scope'         => $scope,

    // Optional: The timeout (in seconds) before a request fails
    'timeout'       => $timeout,
];

// To create an API client, simply supply the required options as shown above
$linkLocator   = new LinkLocator($options);
$productSearch = new ProductSearch($options);
```
