Installation

This library requires PHP 5.3 or later, and is installable and autoloadable via Composer as swco/appnexusapi.

Getting Started

The examples below show a few different ways you can access data.

When accessing data through the helper get* methods the request is sent straight away and returns an array of objects.

When using the get($service, $reset = true) method you can continue to apply filtering before calling send(). With send() you also get the Response object returned rather than a regular array. This gives access to a few more methods like getStatus() and getStartElement().

The second param passed to get() allows you to reset all the filters (default action). Passing false will stop reset() being called.

use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;

$request = new Request("username", "password");

// Get category ID 1 and 7
$categories = $request->whereId(array(1, 7))->getCategories();

// Get category ID 5
$category = $request->getCategory(5);

// Get all brands update since June 2014
$brands = $request->get(Request::SERVICE_BRAND)->since(new DateTime('June 2014'))->send();
echo $brands->getStatus();// OK

// Domain Audit Statuses are a bit different as they needs some post data
$domainAuditStatus = $request->getDomainAuditStatuses(array('google.com'));

All services' parameters default to their falsey value;

string = '';
int = 0;
bool = false;
array = array();
float = 0.0;

The only exception to this rule is params that should be an object, if unset these will return null;

object = null;

Advanced

Some services (currently Brand) have their own special filter, this is accompanied with a Request wrapper;

use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;
use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\BrandRequest;

$request = new Request("username", "password");

$brand = BrandRequest::newFromRequest($request);

$brand->simple();

...

This allows for extra functionality such as access to the simple() method above that removes the num_creatives data making the API call a lot faster.

You can also send the simple flags through the helper functions getBrand() and getBrands();

use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;
use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\BrandRequest;

$request = new Request("username", "password");

$brand = BrandRequest::newFromRequest($request);

$simple = true;
$brand->getBrand(1, $simple);

Auth

For heavier usage it is worth storing the token for re-use*. The token doesn't change and the library handles re-authing when needed.

*The token does change occasionally. If an old token is stored in the config the request will re-auth getting a correct token. There is currently no way of reporting this.

Auth can be handled via the request object or using the Auth object directly;

use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;

$request = new Request("username", "password");
$token = $request->auth();

// Store $token somewhere

use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Auth;
use \Guzzle\Http\Client;
use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;
use \SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Exceptions\NoAuthException;

$auth = new Auth();
$auth->setClient(new Client(Request::APP_NEXUS_API_URL));
try {
    $token = $auth->auth('username', 'password');
} catch (NoAuthException $e) {
    $token = null;
}

if ($token) {
    // Store $token somewhere
}

DataPool

Generally the API is limited to 100 results per request. There is a DataPool object available to get all or a specific number of results by making multiple requests;

use SWCO\AppNexusAPI\DataPool;
use SWCO\AppNexusAPI\Request;

$request = new Request('username', 'password');
$request->get(Request::SERVICE_DEVICE_MAKE);

$dataPool = new DataPool();

$data = $dataPool->getAll($request); // Gets all Device Make items

$data = $dataPool->get($request, 250); // Gets the first 250 results of the Device Make items.

$request->offsetBy(250);

$data = $dataPool->get($request, 250); // Gets items 250 - 500.
