Weebly Cloud API Library: PHP

Installation

###Composer

composer require weebly/cloud-client

###Other Download the latest release and include init.php in your code.

require_once("path/to/cloud-client-php/src/init.php");

Setup and Authentication

API calls are authenticated through a public key and a hash of your request and secret key. You can create and manage your API keys in the settings section of the Weebly Cloud Admin.

WeeblyCloud\CloudClient::setKeys(YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_API_SECRET);

You must set your public and secret key before making any calls to the API.

Examples

Typical use case: create a user and site, get a login link

// Get the admin account
try {
	$account = new WeeblyCloud\Account();
} catch (WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudException $e) {
	print("Unable to get account.\n");
	print("Error code {$e->getCode()}: {$e->getMessage()}.\n");
	exit();
}

//Create a new user
try {
	$user = $account->createUser("test@domain.com");
} catch (WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudException $e) {
	print("Unable to create user.\n");
	print("Error code {$e->getCode()}: {$e->getMessage()}.\n");
	exit();
}

//Store the user's ID
$user_id = $user->getProperty("user_id");

//Create a site
try {
	$site = $user->createSite("domain.com", ["site_title"=>"My Website"]);
} catch (WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudException $e) {
	print("Unable to create site.\n");
	print("Error code {$e->getCode()}: {$e->getMessage()}.\n");
	exit();
}

//Store the site's ID
$site_id = $site->getProperty("site_id");

//Get and print a login link
try {
	print($site->loginLink());
} catch (WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudException $e) {
	print("Unable to generate login link.\n");
	print("Error code {$e->getCode()}: {$e->getMessage()}.\n");
	exit();
}

Printing the name of all pages in a site matching the query "help"

$pages = $site->listPages(["query"=>"help"]);
while ($page = $pages->next()) {
	print($page->getProperty("title")."\n");
}

or

foreach ($site->listPages(["query"=>"help"]) as $page) {
	print($page->getProperty("title")."\n");
}

Errors

If a request fails, the CloudClient throws a CloudException. A list of error codes can be found in the API documentation. The exception can be caught as folllows:

# Create client
$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();

try {
	$account = new WeeblyCloud\Account();
} catch (WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudException $e) {
	print($e);
}

Resources

The library provides classes that represent API resources. These resources can be mutable, meaning their properties can be changed, and deletable.

Common methods:

  • The method $resource->getProperty($property) will return a given property of the resource. If the property does not exist, it will return null.
  • The method $resource->setProperty($property, $value) will set the value of a given property of the resource. Changes will not be saved in the database until $resource->save() is called. If the resource is not mutable, calling this method will throw an exception. Not every property of a mutable resource can be changed; for more information, reference the Cloud API Documentation for the resource in question's PUT method.
  • The method $resource->save() saves the properties changed by setProperty() to the database. If the resource is not mutable, calling this method will throw an exception.
  • The method $resource->delete() deletes the resource from the database. If the resource is not deletable, calling this method will throw an exception.

Instantiating Resources

For example, to create an object representing a site with id $site_id and owned by $user_id:

$site = new WeeblyCloud\Site($user_id, $site_id);

All resource constructors have two optional parameters, initialize (true by default) and existing. If initialize is set to false, the properties of the object are not retrieved from the database when the object is instantiated. Instead, existing is used to set the object's properties. This can be used to reduce unecessary API calls when chaining calls.

Examples

Retrieve all the sites of a user without getting that user's information:

$sites = (new WeeblyCloud\User($user_id, false))->listSites();

Retrieve information about a site's store:

$store = (new WeeblyCloud\Site($user_id, $site_id))->getStore();

Retrieve a list of products in the site's store:

$site = new WeeblyCloud\Site($_ENV['USER_ID'], $_ENV['SITE_ID'], true);
$store = $site->getStore;
$products = $site->listProducts();
// Get quantity of products in the store
$numberOfProductsInStore = $site->getProductCount();
while ($product = $products->next()) {
	print($product->getProperty("name")."\n");
}

Iterable Results

Methods beginning with list return a CloudList. Use the next function or a foreach loop to iterate through the list. For example:

$sites = (new WeeblyCloud\User($user_id))->listSites();

while ($site = $sites->next()) {
	print($site->getProperty("site_title")."\n");
}

This would list the titles of all sites belonging to a given user.

##Resource Types

In addition to this readme, each resource class has phpdoc documentation. To view that documentation, install phpDocumentor and run these commands in the cloud-client-php directory:

phpdoc -d ./src/WeeblyCloud
open output/namespaces/WeeblyCloud.html

Making Raw API Calls

Not every resource has a cooresponding resource class. It is possible to make a raw API call using a CloudClient object.

$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();

Using that client, call get, post, put, patch, or delete. All client request methods take a url as their first argument. post, patch, and put take an optional hash map of data that will be sent in the request body. get takes an optional hash map whose values will be used in the query string of the request.

The url must not include a leading slash.

Request examples

Get cloud admin account account
# Get client
$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();

# Request the /account endpoint
$client->get("account");
Update a page title
# Get client
$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();

# Build endpoint with IDs
$endpoint = "user/{$user_id}/site/{$site_id}/page/{$page_id}";

# Make the request
$client->patch($endpoint, ["title"=>"New Title"]);
Get all sites for a user (with search parameters)
# Get client
$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();

# Build endpoint with IDs
$endpoint = "user/{$user_id}/site";

# Make the request (get all sites this user owns)
$client->get($endpoint, ["role"=>"owner"]);

Handling Responses

All requests return a CloudResponse object or throw a CloudException. The JSON returned by the request can be accessed through the response's body property.

# Make a request
$response = $client->get("account");

# Print JSON body of response
print($response->body);

###Pagination example If the endpoint supports pagination, the next and previous pages of results can be retrieved with the getPreviousPage() and getNextPage() methods. If there is no next or previous page, those methods return null.

# Create client
$client = WeeblyCloud\Utils\CloudClient::getClient();
$response = $client->get("user/{$user_id}/site",["limit"=>10]);

while($response){
	print($response->body . "\n");
	$response =  $response->getNextPage();
}

Get all of a user's sites, 10 sites per page.
