Creating A PHP Nexmo API Client Using Guzzle Web Service Client – Part 4

Creating A PHP Nexmo API Client Using Guzzle Web Service Client – Part 4

This is Part 4 in a series, you can read Part 1 here or Part 2 here or Part 3 here or Part 3.5 here. At this point in this series we have a complete PHP client for the Nexmo APIs. Hopefully I’ve been able to teach some good practices and designs in the process of developing it, but I know many of you test-driven-development advocates are probably screaming that I’ve left out the most important part: testing, and testing early.

This is a small follow up on Part 3 in a series, you can read Part 1 here or Part 2 here. In Part 3 of this series we completed API clients for Nexmo’s SMS and Number Insight APIs. Today I implemented the rest of the clients for Voice, Number Verify, and Developer APIs. As I’ve hit on several times, using the Guzzle Web Service description way of developing an API client can save a lot of time.

This is Part 3 in a series, you can read Part 1 here or Part 2 here. Ok, quick recap: in part 1 we explored what API calls to the Nexmo API look like to send an SMS and a few ways we could write them. Then in part 2 we built out the ground work for a Guzzle web service client and implemented the Send SMS API with it.

This is Part 2 in a series, you can read Part 1 here. In Part 1 of this series we laid a foundation for consuming the Nexmo SMS API and covered a few ways to interact with it. In this part we’ll create the actual Guzzle Web Service Client to interact with it to demonstrate how simple it can be. The first thing we’ll do is get our project space ready by creating a folder (these steps assume you’re working on a Mac or Linux based system):

Phew. That was a long title. Sorry about that, just wanted to try to be clear on what this post (series of posts) is about. Recently I’ve had the need to write several API clients to simplify integrating with services like CrashPlan, Smartsheet, Trello, etc. Initially I started writing a client library that used the standard Guzzle features. After writing a couple of them I remembered a talk by Jeremy Lindblom @jeremeamia at last years php[tek] conference.
