README

This PHP composer package is an API for working with the PrayerMate platform.

PrayerMate is an app to help you pray and this API allows you interact with the platform.

Installation

composer install prayermate/prayermate-api

Usage

You need to locate four pieces of information from the prayermate.net portal.

Log in to the portal.
Create a feed if you have not made one yet.
Click API Access at the bottom of the right menu for the feed
Scroll down to the HTTP Requests heading
In the Basic Authorisation section copy your $apiKey (60 character hex string) and $password (60 character hex string).
In the Posting New Content section, copy the copy the $feedID (integer?) and $feedSlug (38 character hex string) from the values in the json block.

The $apiKey and $password are global values for your account to access the API. The $feedID and $feedSlug are unique per feed.

$driver = new Driver\GuzzleDriver($apiKey, $password, $email);
$prayermate = new PrayerMateAPI($driver);

A petition is one piece of content: a prayer request in a feed. It can be plain text, or markdown if you enable Markdown by clicking the button at the bottom of the API Access page on the portal.

To see what is in your feed:

$petitions = $prayermate->getFeedContents($feedSlug);

To add a new request to the feed

$petition = new Petition('My prayer *Request* content', '2018-10-11');
$petition->setTitle('A test request');
$petition->setIsMarkdown();
$prayermate->setFeedContents($feedSlug, $feedID, gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s'), [$petition]);

Note that feeds can have several different "styles" (configurations) eg Calendar, Newsletter, Day of the Month which you choose on creation. Follow the documentation on prayermate.net for more details. Watch out for Petitions with no date. These are "exclusive" which means they replace all the other petitions in the feed. This is handy for an API that pushes out daily updates and is not concerned for historic data. Read the documentation on the API page for your feed about handling multiple petitions carefully.
