Set configuration in src/Config files a. CREST.php - for setting configuration concerning how the library talks with the API b. Cache.php - for setting configuration concerning a cache that the library utilizes 2. Initialize a Crester object 3. Redirect to Eve Online SSO 4. Handle Callback 5. Make calls on returned object Functions --------- [](#functions) ### Crester Class [](#crester-class) redirect() - redirects visitor to Eve Online SSO for authentication handleCallback($AuthCode, $State = '') - creates a Crest object and handles final authentication with API fromRefreshToken($Token) - returns a Crest object authenticated by the given Refresh Token crest() - returns the current connection to the CREST API xml() - returns the current connection to the XML API ### Crest Class [](#crest-class) setAuthCode($AuthCode) - updates the connection's used Authorization Code and verifies it getStatus() - returns true/false whether the connection is ready to make calls to the API getToken() - returns the current token being used to make requests getRefreshToken() - returns the current refresh token getExpiration() - returns when the current token will expire node($key, $value = NULL) - adds a node to the route to traverse down the API tree get() - makes a GET call with the current route and returns the result as an array post($data = \[\]) - makes a POST call with the current route and given data key/values and returns the result as an array put($data = \[\]) - makes a PUT call with the current route and given data key/values and returns the result as an array delete() - makes a DELETE call with the current route and returns the result as an array verifyCode() - makes specialized call to verify Authorization Code (called automatically) getCharacterInfo() - makes specialized call to retrieve information about the logged-in character customCall($URL, $Method) - makes a call to the specified URL with the given method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) ### XML Class [](#xml-class) setToken($Token) - sets the access token to use when interacting with API (called automatically) setKey($Key) - sets call to use API Key Authorization. $Key is an associative array with indexes "KeyID" and "VCode" scope($Scope) - sets the scope of the call endPoint($EndPoint) - sets the endpoint the call will use accessType($AccessType) - sets the type of access the call will request. Only for CREST Authorization get($Args = \[\], $Key = NULL) - makes the built call against the API. $Key is an alternate to using setKey() and uses the same syntax clear() - clears the currently built call (called automatically by get()) Adding Nodes ------------ [](#adding-nodes) Nodes that are added to specify the route that a call will use to reach it's destination can follow one of three formats: ### Simple Key Search [](#simple-key-search) In Example 1 below, the first node added to the route uses a simple key search. In this case, after calling the base URL, CRESTer will search the returned json for a key called "constellations" and calls the URL in that item's "href". ### Key-Value Search [](#key-value-search) Also demonstrated in Example 1 is adding a key-value search node, shown by the second call to node(). In the example, the node is told to search for a key called "name" that has a value of "Joas". Example 1: Getting Information for a Constellation -------------------------------------------------- [](#example-1-getting-information-for-a-constellation) *Initialize the CRESTer object* `$crester = new \Crester\Crester();` *Make redirect to SSO* `$crester->redirect();` *Handle callback from SSO* `$crest = $crester->handleCallback($_GET['code'], isset($_GET['state']) ? $_GET['state'] : '');` *Define call using fluent interface syntax* `$Joas = $crest->node('constellations')->node('name', 'Joas')->get();` *View the results*`var_dump($Joas);` ``` array(4) { ["position"]=> array(3) { ["y"]=> float(3.3836265012848E+16) ["x"]=> float(-4.9173916281706E+16) ["z"]=> float(-4.2057063709409E+16) } ["region"]=> array(1) { ["href"]=> string(48) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/regions/10000001/" } ["systems"]=> array(7) { [0]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000112/" ["id"]=> int(30000112) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000112" } [1]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000113/" ["id"]=> int(30000113) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000113" } [2]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000114/" ["id"]=> int(30000114) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000114" } [3]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000115/" ["id"]=> int(30000115) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000115" } [4]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000116/" ["id"]=> int(30000116) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000116" } [5]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000117/" ["id"]=> int(30000117) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000117" } [6]=> array(3) { ["href"]=> string(53) "https://crest-tq.eveonline.com/solarsystems/30000118/" ["id"]=> int(30000118) ["id_str"]=> string(8) "30000118" } } ["name"]=> string(4) "Joas" } ``` ### Health Score 19 — LowBetter than 10% of packages Maintenance0 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity53 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
