Very simple github API for PHP using OAuth. 37 LOC for the API class. And a curl helper class with 84 LOC.
There is really only tree methods you can do. Let us see those three methods first. (Further below is an complete example using the built-in server for easy testing).
- Generate an access URL to github.com
$access_config = array (
'redirect_uri' => GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL,
'client_id' => GITHUB_ID,
'state' => md5(uniqid()),
'scope' => 'user'
);
$api = new githubapi();
$url = $api->getAccessUrl($access_config);
echo "<a href=\"$url\">Github Login</a>";- Callback from github.com
$access_config = array (
'redirect_uri' => GITHUB_CALLBACK_URL,
'client_id' => GITHUB_ID,
'client_secret' => GITHUB_SECRET
);
$api = new githubapi();
$res = $api->setAccessToken($access_config);
if ($res) {
// OK
This is where we will call the api
header("Location: /api_call.php");
} else {
// Not OK. echo errors
echo "Could not get access token. Errors: <br />";
print_r($api->errors);
}- API call
For full listing see: https://developer.github.com/v3/
// We have a access token and we can now call the api:
$api = new githubapi();
// Simple call - API get current users credentials
// This can also be done without scope
// example
// $command = '/user',
// $request = 'GET', 'POST' or 'PATCH' or 'DELETE' etc. Se API:
// $post = variables to POST array
$command = "/user";
$res = $api->apiCall($command, $request = null, $post = null);
if (!$res) {
print_r($api->errors);
die;
} else {
print_r($res);
}Example you can run right away using the built-in PHP-server.
Log into github.com
Register a new application at https://github.com/settings/developers
You will see something like this:
Create your app.
php composer.phar require diversen/simple-php-github-api:~1.0
Or if you have placed composer.phar in your path as composer
composer require diversen/simple-php-github-api:~1.0
Enter base_dir:
cd vendor/diversen/simple-php-github-api
cp example/config.php-dist example/config.php
Edit config
Set config in example/config.php according to above settings and
the screenshot above.
Run test-server with example:
php -S localhost:8080 -t example/
For full listing of all API calls check:
I have not tested many calls - but you should be able to use all. E.g. POST, or PATCH, DELETE.
Let me hear if it does not work out for you.
