DPD shipping API for Hungarian DPD Weblabel webservice interface via POST requests

Installing

The easiest way to install the API is using Composer:

composer require schiggi/dpd-shipping-api

Then use your framework's autoload, or simply add:

<?php
  require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Getting started

You can start making requests to the Billingo API just by creating a new API instance

<?php

  $api = new DPD\API([
      'username' => 'demo',
      'password' => 'o2Ijwe2',
  ]);

The API class takes care of the communication between your app and the DPD servers via POST requests.

Using Monolog to log requests and responses to a log file

Monolog is used optionally to log request/responses with DPD server.

You need to specific a log dir and optionally a message format when creating a new API instance. Log files while have the name "api-dpd-consumer-{date}.log"

<?php

  $api = new DPD\API([
      'username' => 'demo',
      'password' => 'o2Ijwe2!',
      'log_dir'  => dirname(__FILE__).'/',
      'log_msg_format' => [
        '{method} {uri} HTTP/{version} {req_body}',
        'RESPONSE: {code} - {res_body}',
      ]
  ]);

    'setCountry' => 'HU',
