use Postmen\Postmen;

$api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$region = 'sandbox';

// create Postmen API handler object

$api = new Postmen($api_key, $region);

try {
	// as an example we request all the labels
	
	$result = $api->get('labels');
	echo "RESULT:\n";
	print_r($result);
} catch (exception $e) {
	// if error occurs we can access all
	// the details in following way
	
	echo "ERROR:\n";
	echo $e->getCode() . "\n";	// error code
	echo $e->getMessage() . "\n";	// error message
	print_r($e->getDetails());	// details
}

Check Error Handling for details.

callGET($path, $query = array(), $options = array())

Performs HTTP GET request, returns an Array object holding API response.

Argument Required Type Default Description
$path YES String N / A URL path (e.g. 'v3/labels' for https://sandbox-api.postmen.com/v3/labels )
$query NO Array or String array() HTTP GET request query string

Error Handling

Particular error details are listed in the documentation.

All SDK methods may throw an exception described below.

class PostmenException

Method Return type Description
getCode() Integer Error code
isRetryable() Boolean Indicates if error is retryable
getMessage() String Error message (e.g. The request was invalid or cannot be otherwise served)
getDetails() Array Error details (e.g. Destination country must be RUS or KAZ)

In case of $conifg['safe'] = TRUE; SDK would not throw exceptions, getError() must be used instead.

Example: error.php

Automatic retry on retryable error

If API error is retryable, SDK will wait for delay and retry. Delay starts from 1 second. After each try, delay time is doubled. Maximum number of attempts is 5.

To disable this option set $conifg['retry'] = FALSE;
