Requirements
-----

- [Sign up](https://www.messagebird.com/en/signup) for a free MessageBird account
- Create a new access_key in the developers sections
- MessageBird API client for PHP requires PHP >= 7.3.

Installation
-----

#### Composer installation

- [Download composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix)
- Run `composer require messagebird/php-rest-api`.

#### Manual installation

When you do not use Composer. You can git checkout or download [this repository](https://github.com/messagebird/php-rest-api/archive/master.zip) and include the MessageBird API client manually.


Usage
-----

We have put some self-explanatory examples in the *examples* directory, but here is a quick breakdown on how it works. First, you need to set up a **MessageBird\Client**. Be sure to replace **YOUR_ACCESS_KEY** with something real.

```php
require 'autoload.php';

$messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY');

```

That's easy enough. Now we can query the server for information. Lets use getting your balance overview as an example:

```php
// Get your balance
$balance = $messageBird->balance->read();
```


Conversations WhatsApp Sandbox
-------------

To use the WhatsApp sandbox you need to add `\MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX` to the list of features you want enabled. Don't forget to replace `YOUR_ACCESS_KEY` with your actual access key.

```php
$messageBird = new \MessageBird\Client('YOUR_ACCESS_KEY', null, [\MessageBird\Client::ENABLE_CONVERSATIONSAPI_WHATSAPP_SANDBOX]);
```

If you use a custom `HttpClient` you will have to manually direct Conversation API request to the WhatsApp sandbox endpoint.
