Requirements

You must have cURL for PHP installed in order to use this library.

CentOS:

sudo yum install php5-curl

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

Getting started

First things first, Get your free API access. Next, if your not using composer, download this library and then try the following code.

<?php

require_once('Thingdom.php');

// instantiate Thingdom object and authenticate
$thingdom = new Thingdom('YOUR_API_SECRET');

// look-up Thing and get back object
$thing = $thingdom->getThing('YOUR_THING_NAME');

// send a feed message
$thing->feed('FEED_CATEGORY', 'MESSAGE');

// send a status update
$thing->status('KEY', 'VALUE');

If you would like to use composer instead then follow these directions.

1. Install composer

2. Create a new composer.json file with thingdomio/thingdom-php as a dependency (or add to your project's existing composer.json file)

    {
        "require": {
            "thingdomio/thingdom-php": "dev-master"
        }
    }
   

3. Use composer to install the dependencies

4. Go ahead and try out the following code.

    <?php
   
    require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; // Autoload files using Composer autoload
   
    // instantiate Thingdom object and authenticate
    $thingdom = new Thingdom('YOUR_API_SECRET');
   
    // look-up Thing and get back object
    $thing = $thingdom->getThing('YOUR_THING_NAME');
   
    // send a feed message
    $thing->feed('FEED_CATEGORY', 'MESSAGE');
   
    // send a status update
    $thing->status('KEY', 'VALUE');
