PHP API for the Open Patent Service
===================================

[](#php-api-for-the-open-patent-service)

OPS is a web service which provides access to the European Patent Office's data. You need to have an user account with the European Patent Office to access the service. For details see: [EPO OPS web page](https://www.epo.org/en/searching-for-patents/data/web-services/ops "Link to the EPA web page")

This API consists of a PHP class and an interface as well as helper files. For evaluation purposes this respository can be installed as a "stand-alone" web application on your server by running: `composer create-project sourcepot/ops {add your target directory here}` This allows you to run the evaluation web page.

Alternatively, you can add this respository to your project by adding `..."sourcepot/ops":">=v..."... ` to the list of required external components to your project´s `composer.json` file.

Sample code
-----------

[](#sample-code)

```
namespace SourcePot\OPS;

mb_internal_encoding("UTF-8");

require_once('../../vendor/autoload.php');

// create the ops object using the login credentials
$ops=new ops($appName,$consumerKey,$consumerSecretKey);

// number service request
$nService=$ops->request('GET','rest-services/number-service/application/original/(EP20163530A)/docdb');

// family service, get bibliographic data
$biblio=$ops->request('GET','rest-services/family/application/docdb/'.$nService['country'].'.'.$nService['doc-number'].'.'.$nService['kind'].'.'.$nService['date'].'/biblio');

var_dump($biblio);

```
