Disclaimer

The aim of the API is to keep things simple. Please keep in mind that it is an unofficial tool, and it may stop working at any time.

So, I strongly recommend you not to manipulate sensitive data with this API, and be sure to make regular backups of your lists.

Installation

By using Composer:

{
    "require": {
        "johansatge/workflowy-php": "0.1"
    }
}

If you do not use Composer, you can download the source files, install it anywhere on your project, and call the providden autoloader file:

<?php require_once '/your/project/root/path/workflowy-php/src/autoload.php';

Usage

Login API

Because of the unofficial status of the API, you have to login first, by using your regular credentials, before being able to perform requests on your data.

use WorkFlowyPHP\WorkFlowy;
use WorkFlowyPHP\WorkFlowyException;
try
{
    $session_id = WorkFlowy::login('user@domain.org', 'password');
}
catch (WorkFlowyException $e)
{
    var_dump($e->getMessage());
}

The $session_id variable will be used later, when performing requests.

You have to use your unencoded password in your code. So I strongly advise you to store it in a different file, or ask it once to the user, then store the session ID. (But keep in mind that the session does not last forever.) This is a huge limitation, but for now there is no workaround.

Lists API

Lists-related stuff is managed with the recursive WorkFlowySublist class.

First, you will need to get the main (root) list.

use WorkFlowyPHP\WorkFlowyList;

$list_request = new WorkFlowyList($session_id);
$list = $list_request->getList();

Then, you will be able to perform the following operations on the resulting $list, or its sublists.

Get the informations of a list

Function	Returns	Description
$list->getID();	string	Get the ID of the list
$list->getName();	string	Get the name of the list
$list->getDescription();	string	Get the description of the list
$list->getParent();	WorkFlowySublist	Get the parent of the list
$list->isComplete();	boolean	Get the status of the list
$list->getOPML();	string	Get the list and its sublists as an OPML string
$list->getSublists();	string	Get the sublists of the list
$list->searchSublist('/My sublist name/');	WorkFlowySublist	Returns the first child list matching the given name
$list->searchSublist('/My sublist name/', array('get_all' => true));	array	Returns all children lists matching the given name

Edit the informations of a list

Function	Parameters	Description
$list->setName('My sublist');	string	Sets the list name
$list->setDescription('My sublist description');	string	Sets the list description
$list->setParent($parent_list, 2);	WorkFlowySublist,int	Sets the list parent and its position
$list->setComplete(true);	boolean	Sets the list status
$list->createSublist('My sublist name', 'My sublist description', 9);	string,string,int	Creates a sublist

The methods below are used to edit data.

Keep in mind that they will send requests to the server, but not update the existing variables.

For instance, if you change the parent of a list and call the getSublists() method on its old parent, the list will still be present in the resulting array.

Account API

Function	Returns	Description
$account_request = new WorkFlowyAccount($session_id);	WorkFlowyAccount	Gets an account object
$account_request->getUsername();	string	Gets his username
$account_request->getEmail();	string	Gets his email address
$account_request->getEmail();	string	Gets his registration date
$account_request->getTheme();	string	Gets his selected theme
$account_request->getItemsCreatedInMmonth();	int	Gets the number of items created during the month
$account_request->getMonthlyQuota();	int	Gets his monthly quota
$account_request->getRegistrationDate('d-m-Y');	string	Gets his registration date Leave the format empty to use the default value ('Y-m-d H:i:s') Give the 'timestamp' value to get the timestamp instead of a date.
