Quick Start

Basic Usage with Private Integration Token

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use HighLevel\HighLevel;
use HighLevel\HighLevelConfig;
use HighLevel\Services\Contacts\Models\SearchBodyV2DTO;

// Initialize the client
$config = new HighLevelConfig([
    'privateIntegrationToken' => 'your-private-token-here'
]);

or with 

$config = new HighLevelConfig([
    'clientId' => 'your-client-id', // $_ENV['CLIENT_ID']
    'clientSecret' => 'your-client-secret' // $_ENV['CLIENT_SECRET']
]);

$ghl = new HighLevel($config);

// Get contacts
$requestBody = new SearchBodyV2DTO([
    'locationId' => 'zBG0T99IsBgOoXUrcROH',
    'pageLimit' => 1
]);
$contactsResponse = $ghl->contacts->searchContactsAdvanced($requestBody);

error_log('Fetched contacts: ' . json_encode($contactsResponse, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));

OAuth Authentication

<?php

use HighLevel\HighLevel;
use HighLevel\HighLevelConfig;
use HighLevel\Storage\SessionData;

// Initialize with OAuth credentials
$config = new HighLevelConfig([
    'clientId' => 'your-client-id',
    'clientSecret' => 'your-client-secret'
]);

$ghl = new HighLevel($config);

// Step 1: Redirect user to authorization URL
$authUrl = $ghl->oauth->getAuthorizationUrl(
    'your-client-id',
    'https://your-app.com/callback',
    'contacts.readonly contacts.write' // add all scopes here(one space seperated)
);

header('Location: ' . $authUrl);
exit;

// Step 2: Exchange authorization code for access token (in callback)
$tokenData = $ghl->oauth->getAccessToken([
    'code' => $_GET['code'],
    'client_id' => 'your-client-id',
    'client_secret' => 'your-client-secret',
    'grant_type' => 'authorization_code'
]);

// Step 3: Store the session
$locationId = $tokenData->location_id
$ghl->getSessionStorage()->setSession($locationId, new SessionData($tokenData));

Configuration Options

$config = new HighLevelConfig([
    // Authentication (choose one)
    'privateIntegrationToken' => 'token',  // For private integrations
    'clientId' => 'id',                    // For OAuth
    'clientSecret' => 'secret',            // For OAuth
    'agencyAccessToken' => 'token',        // Temporary agency token
    'locationAccessToken' => 'token',      // Temporary location token
    
    // Optional settings
    'apiVersion' => '2021-07-28',          // API version
    'sessionStorage' => $customStorage,    // Custom storage implementation
    'logLevel' => 'warn'                   // debug|info|warn|error|silent

]);

Custom Session Storage

Implement your own storage (database, Redis, etc.):

<?php

use HighLevel\Storage\SessionStorage;

class DatabaseSessionStorage extends SessionStorage
{
    private $pdo;
    
    public function __construct(\PDO $pdo, $logger = null)
    {
        parent::__construct($logger);
        $this->pdo = $pdo;
    }
    
    public function setSession(string $resourceId, array $sessionData): void
    {
        $stmt = $this->pdo->prepare(
            'INSERT INTO ghl_sessions (resource_id, data, updated_at) 
             VALUES (?, ?, NOW()) 
             ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE data = ?, updated_at = NOW()'
        );
        $json = json_encode($sessionData);
        $stmt->execute([$resourceId, $json, $json]);
    }
    
    public function getSession(string $resourceId): ?array
    {
        $stmt = $this->pdo->prepare(
            'SELECT data FROM ghl_sessions WHERE resource_id = ?'
        );
        $stmt->execute([$resourceId]);
        $result = $stmt->fetch(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        
        return $result ? json_decode($result['data'], true) : null;
    }
    
    // Implement other required methods...
}

// Use custom storage
$pdo = new \PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=myapp', 'user', 'password');
$config = new HighLevelConfig([
    'clientId' => 'your-client-id',
    'clientSecret' => 'your-client-secret',
    'sessionStorage' => new DatabaseSessionStorage($pdo)
]);

Error Handling

use HighLevel\GHLError;

try {
    $contact = $ghl->contacts->getContact([
        'contactId' => 'invalid-id',
        'locationId' => 'location-123'
    ]);
} catch (GHLError $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
    echo "Status Code: " . $e->getStatusCode() . "\n";
    echo "Response: " . json_encode($e->getResponse()) . "\n";
}

Webhook Support

// Verify and process webhooks
$webhookSecret = 'your-webhook-secret';
$payload = $request->getBody()->getContents(); // raw request as string
$request->getHeaderLine('x-wh-signature'); // signature will be present in header which will be sent by HighLevel

$ghl->getWebhookManager()->processWebhook($payload, $signature, $_ENV['WEBHOOK_PUBLIC_KEY'], $_ENV['client_id']);

This method will verify the webhook signature first. If it is valid, then for INSTALL event it will automatically generate token for your location and store it in the relavant storage option. Similarly on UNINSTALL event, it will remove the token from the storage. 

$ghl->getWebhookManager()->verifySignature($payload, $signature, $_ENV['WEBHOOK_PUBLIC_KEY']);
You can use this method independently to verify the webhook signature by SDK.
