alfaview PHP SDK

A PHP library for the alfaview APIs. This SDK is the successor of the previous version that was based on gRPC. Starting with version 2.0 this SDK no longer requires the gRPC server module and relies solely on JSON-based API communication.

Getting started

• Signup for an alfaview account on alfaview.com
• Create your API credentials in the Account Management of your alfaview account
• Include this SDK via Composer and take it for a spin

Convenient usage

Take a look the Alfaview.php in the src directory. It is a convenient entry point for most use cases like authentication, listing rooms or creating join links.

Here is an example for authenticating with the API and retrieving a list of rooms:

        $av = new Alfaview();

        $credentials = new AuthenticationAuthorizationCodeCredentials();
        $credentials->setClientId('YOUR_API_CLIENT_ID');
        $credentials->setCode('YOUR_API_CODE');
        $credentials->setCompanyId('YOUR_API_COMPANY_ID');

        $response = $av->authenticate($credentials);
        $accessToken = $response->reply->getAccessToken();

        $response = $av->roomList($accessToken);
        var_dump($response->reply->getRooms());

To create or update a room that differ from the default room quota:

'active_participants' => 50
'passive_participants' => 0
'sub_rooms' => 10

it is required to specify the \Alfaview\Model\CommonRoomQuotas when creating or updating a room.

        $av = new Alfaview();
        $room = new CommonRoom();
        $quotas = new CommonRoomQuotas();

        $room->setDisplayName("Meeting 1");
        $room->setQuotas($quotas->setActiveParticipants(100));

        $response = $av->createRoom($accessToken, $room);
        var_dump($response->reply->getRoomId());

Assuming you already have an $accessToken from the API authentication above, To create a personal guest or group link in a room:

        $av = new Alfaview();
        // optionally validity end date, if not set the links are always valid
        $validUntil = new \DateTime("next week today");
        $roomId = 'YOUR_ROOM_ID'

        // Get the `Participant` permission group id to use in our group link, or any other permission group you want
        $participantGroupId = $av->getPermissionGroupId($accessToken, 'Participant');

        $groupLink = new GuestServiceV2GroupLinkCreation();
        $groupLink->setPermissionGroupId($participantGroupId);
        $groupLink->setDescription("created by alfaview-php-sdk testCreateGroupLinks");
        $groupLink->setValidUntil($validUntil);

        $response = $av->createGroupLink($accessToken, $roomId, [$groupLink]);

        /* @var \Alfaview\Model\GuestServiceV2CreateGroupLinksReply $reply */
        $createGroupLinkReply = $response->reply;

        // Depending on how many you created a list is returned, in this example only one
        $groupLink = $createGroupLinkReply->getGroupLinks()[0];

        // optionally you can use an externalId for your group link authentication to ensure only one person is authenticating from your system
        $externalId = md5("unique-external-id-value-for-group-link");
        $response = $av->guestAuthenticate(
            'YOUR_API_COMPANY_ID',
            $roomId,
            $groupLink->getAccessKey(),
            'John Doe',
            $externalId
        );
