ShipX PHP SDK

by Michał Biarda

1. Introduction

This package was created so you could easily connect your PHP app with Inpost ShipX API.

The documentation of ShipX API may be found here: https://docs.inpost24.com/display/PL/API+ShipX

The library is open sourced. Feel free to contribute!

2. Installation

The recommended way to install this package is through Composer.

composer require michalbiarda/shipx-php-sdk

Watchout: This package uses HTTPlug for HTTP client abstraction. Please check their official documentation to understand how to configure it properly with your project.

3. Anatomy of SDK

3.1. API client creation

All calls to ShipX API are made through \MB\ShipXSDK\Client\Client object. To create it, you need to provide API URL (production or sandbox) and your API key (for some actions API key is not needed).

$client = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Client\Client(
    'https://sandbox-api-shipx-pl.easypack24.net',
    'y0urs3cr3tc0d3'
);

3.2. Calling API endpoints

To call the API endpoint you need to use callMethod method of the client. It takes the following arguments:

• $method - API method that you want to run; all methods can be found in subfolders of src/Method/ folder; you can add your own methods if you need
• $uriParams - array of URI params needed for specific method; you can find required params in method's getUriTemplate method; example: for URI template /v1/organizations/:organization_id/address_books the required URI param is organization_id
• $queryParams - array of query params that may be used for some methods to make your call more specific:
  • if a method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithPaginatedResultsInterface you can use the following params:
    • page - to specify which page of multipaged result you'd like to get,
  • if a method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithSortableResultsInterface you can use the following params:
    • sort_by - to specify by which field should the results be sorted; possible values might be found in method's getSortableFields method,
    • sort_order - to specify the direction of sorting; possible values are asc and desc,
  • if a method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithFilterableResultsInterface you:
    • can use all the params defined in method's getFilters method,
  • if a method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithQueryParamsInterface you:
    • have to use all the params defined in method's getRequiredQueryParams method,
    • can use all the params defined in method's getOptionalQueryParams method
• $payload - data transfer object (\MB\ShipXSDK\DataTransferObject\DataTransferObject) required for all methods that implement \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithJsonRequestInterface; the name of required object might be found in method's getRequestPayloadModelName name.

callMethod method returns \MB\ShipXSDK\Response\Response object. You can check if the call was successful by running response's getSuccess method. The body of the response might be taken by running response's getPayload method. It will be one of the following:

• \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\Error object if error occurred,
• \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\BinaryContent object if method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithBinaryResponseInterface and correct binary file was returned by API,
• data transfer object which name can be found in method's getResponsePayloadModelName method, if method implements \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\WithJsonResponseInterface,
• null if error haven't occurred and method doesn't expect any body.

callMethod method might throw:

• \MB\ShipXSDK\Exception\InvalidModelException if the response body doesn't match expected data transfer object,
• \GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException if something went wrong with the connection.

3.3. Exemplary API call

$addressForm = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\AddressForm();
$addressForm->city = 'Warszawa';
$addressForm->post_code = '01-234';
$addressForm->country_code = 'PL';
$addressForm->street = 'Testowa 11';
$addressForm->building_number = '12/23';

$receiver = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\TransactionPartyForm();
$receiver->phone = '123456789';
$receiver->email = 'some.guy@gmail.com';
$receiver->first_name = 'Michał';
$receiver->last_name = 'Testowy';
$receiver->address = $addressForm;

$dimensions = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\DimensionsSimple();
$dimensions->height = 21.5;
$dimensions->length = 2.1;
$dimensions->width = 1.7;

$weight = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\WeightSimple();
$weight->amount = 2.0;

$parcel = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\ParcelsSimple();
$parcel->dimensions = $dimensions;
$parcel->weight = $weight;
$parcel->is_non_standard = false;

$shipmentOfferForm = new \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\ShipmentOfferForm();
$shipmentOfferForm->receiver = $receiver;
$shipmentOfferForm->parcels = [$parcel];
$shipmentOfferForm->additional_services = [];
        
$response = $client->callMethod(
new \MB\ShipXSDK\Method\Shipment\CreateOffer(),
    ['organization_id' => '1234'],
    [],
    $shipmentOfferForm
);
if ($response->getSuccess()) {
    /** @var \MB\ShipXSDK\Model\Shipment $payload */
    $payload = $response->getPayload();
    echo 'Shipment ID is ' . $payload->id;
}

5. Known issues

The main known issue is instability of Sandbox API. From time to time newly created shipments are processed very slowly or end up in a void. Because of that integration tests sometimes fail unexpectedly. I guess we need to live with it...
