PBS Station Manager PHP Library

This library abstracts interactions with the PBS Station Manager API.

Installation

Install via composer:

composer require openpublicmedia/pbs-station-manager-php

Use

The primary class provided by this library is the OpenPublicMedia\PbsStationManager\Client. A Client instance can be used to query the API in various ways. An API key and secret is optional, as the Station Manager API provides public and internal endpoints.

Response data structures

The API currently only support retrieving station information so Client provides two methods:

• getStation($id)
• getStations()

Both methods return OpenPublicMedia\PbsStationManager\Entity\Station instances. A single instance for the singular getter and an array of instances for the plural getter.

Examples

Creating a client

use OpenPublicMedia\PbsStationManager\Client;

$api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
$api_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';

$client = new Client($api_key, $api_secret);

Getting a single Station

$station = $client->getStation('271a9ab7-e9ed-4fec-9fe9-e46c97a3f8f0');
var_dump($station);
class OpenPublicMedia\PbsStationManager\Entity\Station#40 (35) {
