MyGeotab PHP API Client

Provides a PHP client that can easily make API requests to a MyGeotab server.

Installation

You can use composer and run the following command into your own repo:

composer require geotab/mygeotab-php

This repository requires PHP >=7.1, but if you're going to try integrate this into older versions then you can look at the code in src directly.

Quick start

$api = new Geotab\API("user@example.com", "password", "DatabaseName", "my.geotab.com");
$api->authenticate();

$api->get("Device", ["resultsLimit" => 1], function ($results) {
    var_dump($results);
}, function ($error) {
    var_dump($error);
});

Instead of using the callback syntax, you can simply use the return result directly. Keep in mind, if an error occurs you won't be informed! It will throw as a MyGeotabException, so remember to use try & catch.

$toDate = new DateTime();
$fromDate = new DateTime();
$fromDate->modify("-1 month");

try {
    $violations = $api->get("DutyStatusViolation", [
        "search" => [
            "userSearch" => ["id" => "b1"],
            "toDate" => $toDate->format("c"),   // ISO8601, or could use "2018-11-03 00:53:29.370134"
            "fromDate" => $fromDate->format("c")
        ],
        "resultsLimit" => 10
    ]);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Handle this or return
}

echo "The driver has " . count($violations) . " violations!";
