README
Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication for PHP.
This library requires PHP 8+ and implements the Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme on top of Guzzle as both a drop-in replacement client and middleware.
Installation
To install, use composer
:
$ composer require akamai-open/edgegrid-client
Alternative installation method
Download the PHAR file from the releases page and include it inside your code:
include 'akamai-open-edgegrid-auth.phar'; // Library is ready to use
Authentication
You can obtain the authentication credentials through an API client. Requests to the API are marked with a timestamp and a signature and are executed immediately.
-
Place your credentials in an EdgeGrid file
~/.edgerc
, in the[default]
section.[default] client_secret = C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN= host = akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net access_token = akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij client_token = akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj
-
Use your local
.edgerc
by providing credentials' section header and the path to your resource file. You can call your.edgerc
file using the\Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile()
method.The location of your
.edgerc
file is optional, as it defaults to~/.edgerc
.$client = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile('{credentials_section_name}', '{path/to/.edgerc}'); // Use $client just as you would \Guzzle\Http\Client $response = $client->get('/identity-management/v3/user-profile');
Alternatively, you can hard code your credentials by passing the credential values to the
\Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client->setAuth()
method.$client = new Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client([ 'base_uri' => 'https://akab-h05tnam3wl42son7nktnlnnx-kbob3i3v.luna.akamaiapis.net' ]); $client_token = 'akab-c113ntt0k3n4qtari252bfxxbsl-yvsdj'; $client_secret = 'C113nt53KR3TN6N90yVuAgICxIRwsObLi0E67/N8eRN='; $access_token = 'akab-acc35t0k3nodujqunph3w7hzp7-gtm6ij'; $client->setAuth($client_token, $client_secret, $access_token); // use $client just as you would \Guzzle\Http\Client $response = $client->get('/identity-management/v3/user-profile');
Use
The Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client
extends \GuzzleHttp\Client
as a drop-in replacement. It works transparently to sign API requests without changing other ways you use Guzzle.
Include the autoloader to import all the required classes.
Provide your credentials section header and appropriate endpoint information.
<?php require "vendor/autoload.php"; $client = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile('default'); // use $client just as you would \Guzzle\Http\Client $response = $client->get('/identity-management/v3/user-profile'); echo $response->getBody();
Query string parameters
You can pass the query parameters in the url after a question mark ("?") at the end of the main URL path.
<?php require "vendor/autoload.php"; $client = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile('default'); $headers = [ 'Accept' => 'application/json', ]; $response = $client->get('/identity-management/v3/user-profile?authGrants=true¬ifications=true&actions=true', $headers); echo $response->getBody();
You can also pass the query parameters using a query
request option. See the Guzzle documentation for details.
Headers
You can enter request headers as a PSR-7 request object.
Note: You don't need to include the
Content-Type
andContent-Length
headers. The authentication layer adds these values.
<?php require "vendor/autoload.php"; $client = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile('default'); $headers = [ 'Accept' => 'application/json' ]; $response = $client->get('/identity-management/v3/user-profile', $headers); echo $response->getBody();
See the Guzzle documentation for details on defining headers as a headers
request option.
Body data
Use the Guzzle syntax to pass simple JSON data as a json
option in the request.
<?php require "vendor/autoload.php"; $client = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Client::createFromEdgeRcFile('default'); $headers = [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Accept' => 'application/json' ]; $body = [ 'json' => [ 'contractType' => 'Billing', 'country' => 'USA', 'firstName' => 'John', 'lastName' => 'Smith', 'phone' => '3456788765', 'preferredLanguage' => 'English', 'sessionTimeOut' => '30', 'timeZone' => 'GMT' ] ]; $response = $client->put('/identity-management/v3/user-profile/basic-info', $body, $headers); echo $response->getBody();
Command line interface
This library provides a command line interface (CLI) with a limited set of capabilities that mimic httpie.
Install
Install the CLI with a composer vendor/bin/http
or execute the PHAR file.
# Composer installed $ ./vendor/bin/http --help # For Windows > php ./vendor/bin/http --help # PHAR download php akamai-open-edgegrid-client.phar --help
Arguments
You can set authentication and specify an HTTP method (case insensitive), its headers, and any JSON body fields.
Note: Our CLI shows all HTTP and body data. JSON is formatted.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
--auth-type={edgegrid,basic,digest} |
Set the authentication type. The default is none . |
--auth user: or --a user: |
Set the .edgerc section to use. Unlike httpie-edgegrid , the colon (: ) is optional. |
Header-Name:value |
Headers and values are colon (: ) separated. |
jsonKey=value |
Sends {"jsonKey": "value"} in the POST or PUT body. This will also automatically set the Content-Type and Accept headers to application/json . |
jsonKey:=[1,2,3] |
Allows you to specify raw JSON data, sending {"jsonKey": [1, 2, 3]} in the body. |
Limitations
- You can't send
multipart/mime
(file upload) data. - Client certs aren't supported.
- Server certs can't be verified.
- Output can't be customized.
- Responses aren't syntax highlighted.
Guzzle middleware
This package provides three different middleware handlers you can add transparently when using the Client
, to a standard \GuzzleHttp\Client
or as a handler.
- The
\Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Authentication
for transparent API request signing. - The
\Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Verbose
for output (or log) responses. - The
\Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Debug
for output (or log) errors.
Transparent use
Handler | Call |
---|---|
Authentication |
Client->setAuthentication() or pass in an instance of \Akamai\EdgeGrid\Authentication to Client->__construct() . |
Verbose |
Client->setInstanceVerbose() or Client::setVerbose() passing in on of true|resource|[resource output, resource error] . The default is [STDOUT, STDERR] . |
Debug |
Client->setInstanceDebug() , Client::setDebug() , or set the debug config option with true|resource . The default is STDERR . |
Middleware
Handler | Example |
---|---|
Authentication |
// Create the Authentication Handler $auth = \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Authentication::createFromEdgeRcFile(); // Or hard code your credentials $auth = new \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Authentication; $auth->setAuth($client_token, $client_secret, $access_token); // Create the handler stack $handlerStack = \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack::create(); // Add the Auth handler to the stack $handlerStack->push($auth); // Add the handler to a regular \GuzzleHttp\Client $guzzle = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([ "handler" => $handlerStack ]); |
Verbose |
// Create the handler stack $handlerStack = HandlerStack::create(); // Add the Auth handler to the stack $handlerStack->push(new \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Verbose()); // Add the handler to a regular \GuzzleHttp\Client $guzzle = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([ "handler" => $handlerStack ]); |
Debug |
// Create the handler stack $handlerStack = HandlerStack::create(); // Add the Auth handler to the stack $handlerStack->push(new \Akamai\Open\EdgeGrid\Handler\Debug()); // Add the handler to a regular \GuzzleHttp\Client $guzzle = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([ "handler" => $handlerStack ]); |
