# Beeper Desktop PHP API library
The Beeper Desktop PHP library provides convenient access to the Beeper Desktop REST API from any PHP 8.1.0+ application.
## Documentation
The REST API documentation can be found on [developers.beeper.com](https://developers.beeper.com/desktop-api/).
## Installation
To use this package, install via Composer by adding the following to your application's `composer.json`:
```json
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "git@github.com:beeper/desktop-api-php.git"
}
],
"require": {
"beeper/desktop-api-php": "dev-main"
}
}
```
## Usage
This library uses named parameters to specify optional arguments.
Parameters with a default value must be set by name.
```php
chats->search(includeMuted: true, limit: 3, type: 'single');
var_dump($page->id);
```
### Value Objects
It is recommended to use the static `with` constructor `Dog::with(name: "Joey")`
and named parameters to initialize value objects.
However, builders are also provided `(new Dog)->withName("Joey")`.
### Pagination
List methods in the Beeper Desktop API are paginated.
This library provides auto-paginating iterators with each list response, so you do not have to request successive pages manually:
```php
messages->search(
accountIDs: ['local-telegram_ba_QFrb5lrLPhO3OT5MFBeTWv0x4BI'],
limit: 10,
query: 'deployment',
);
var_dump($page);
// fetch items from the current page
foreach ($page->getItems() as $item) {
var_dump($item->id);
}
// make additional network requests to fetch items from all pages, including and after the current page
foreach ($page->pagingEachItem() as $item) {
var_dump($item->id);
}
```
### Handling errors
When the library is unable to connect to the API, or if the API returns a non-success status code (i.e., 4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of `BeeperDesktop\Core\Exceptions\APIException` will be thrown:
```php
accounts->list();
} catch (APIConnectionException $e) {
echo "The server could not be reached", PHP_EOL;
var_dump($e->getPrevious());
} catch (RateLimitException $e) {
echo "A 429 status code was received; we should back off a bit.", PHP_EOL;
} catch (APIStatusException $e) {
echo "Another non-200-range status code was received", PHP_EOL;
echo $e->getMessage();
}
```
Error codes are as follows:
| Cause | Error Type |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ |
| HTTP 400 | `BadRequestException` |
| HTTP 401 | `AuthenticationException` |
| HTTP 403 | `PermissionDeniedException` |
| HTTP 404 | `NotFoundException` |
| HTTP 409 | `ConflictException` |
| HTTP 422 | `UnprocessableEntityException` |
| HTTP 429 | `RateLimitException` |
| HTTP >= 500 | `InternalServerException` |
| Other HTTP error | `APIStatusException` |
| Timeout | `APITimeoutException` |
| Network error | `APIConnectionException` |
### Retries
Certain errors will be automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff.
Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, >=500 Internal errors, and timeouts will all be retried by default.
You can use the `maxRetries` option to configure or disable this:
```php
0]);
// Or, configure per-request:
$result = $client->accounts->list(requestOptions: ['maxRetries' => 5]);
```
## Advanced concepts
### Making custom or undocumented requests
#### Undocumented properties
You can send undocumented parameters to any endpoint, and read undocumented response properties, like so:
Note: the `extra*` parameters of the same name overrides the documented parameters.
```php
accounts->list(
requestOptions: [
'extraQueryParams' => ['my_query_parameter' => 'value'],
'extraBodyParams' => ['my_body_parameter' => 'value'],
'extraHeaders' => ['my-header' => 'value'],
],
);
```
#### Undocumented request params
If you want to explicitly send an extra param, you can do so with the `extra_query`, `extra_body`, and `extra_headers` under the `request_options:` parameter when making a request, as seen in the examples above.
#### Undocumented endpoints
To make requests to undocumented endpoints while retaining the benefit of auth, retries, and so on, you can make requests using `client.request`, like so:
```php
request(
method: "post",
path: '/undocumented/endpoint',
query: ['dog' => 'woof'],
headers: ['useful-header' => 'interesting-value'],
body: ['hello' => 'world']
);
```
## Versioning
This package follows [SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) conventions. As the library is in initial development and has a major version of `0`, APIs may change at any time.
This package considers improvements to the (non-runtime) PHPDoc type definitions to be non-breaking changes.
## Requirements
PHP 8.1.0 or higher.
