Yahoo! Social SDK - PHP5

Warning

The yos-social-php5 SDK is released alpha and is experimental. The difference between the yos-social-php5 sdk and the yos-social-php sdk is that the storage is left for the user to implement. The new implementation is more flexible as developers can store the OAuth tokens in a php session, in a database, or in memcache. It does not require php sessions unless a partner wants it to. This means there is no method equivalent to 'hasSession' or 'requireSession'. An example of how this functionality could be implemented is in the yos-social-php5/examples/simpleauth/simpleauth.php.

Requirements

The following dependencies are bundled with the Yahoo! PHP SDK, but are under terms of a separate license. See the bundled LICENSE files for more information:

• OAuth - http://code.google.com/p/oauth
• OpenID - http://www.openidenabled.com/php-openid/
• OpenSocial - http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-php-client/
• JSON - http://pear.php.net/Services_JSON

Installation

After downloading and unpacking the release, copy the contents of 'lib' to a directory that is accessible via the PHP include_path method.

Examples

The sdk comes with example code, but you must first upcate the file 'examples/common.inc.php' with your OAuth consumer key and secret.

define('OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY', '###');
define('OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET', '###');
define('OAUTH_DOMAIN', '###');
define('OAUTH_APP_ID', '###');

Create OAuth applications in the Yahoo! Developer Dashboard:

http://developer.yahoo.com/dashboard/

Fetching YQL:

See the bundled sample code in examples/yql/delicious.php.

$yql = new YahooYQLQuery();
$response = $yql->execute('select * from delicious.feeds.popular');

if(isset($response->query) && isset($response->query->results))
{
  var_dump($response->query->results);
}
elseif(isset($response->error))
{
  print sprintf('YQL query failed with error: "%s".', $response->error->description);
}
else
{
  print 'YQL response malformed.';
}

Fetching Social Data:

# Yahoo! OAuth Credentials - http://developer.yahoo.com/dashboard/

$CONSUMER_KEY      = '##';
$CONSUMER_SECRET   = '##';
$APPLICATION_ID    = '##';
$CALLBACK_URL      = '##';

$oauthapp      = new YahooOAuthApplication($CONSUMER_KEY, $CONSUMER_SECRET, $APPLICATION_ID, $CALLBACK_URL);

# Fetch request token
$request_token = $oauthapp->getRequestToken($CALLBACK_URL);

# Redirect user to authorization url
$redirect_url  = $oauthapp->getAuthorizationUrl($request_token);

# Exchange request token for authorized access token
$access_token  = $oauthapp->getAccessToken($request_token, $_REQUEST['oauth_verifier']);

# update access token
$oauthapp->token = $access_token;

# fetch user profile
$profile = $oauthapp->getProfile();

var_dump($profile);

Inserting Updates

$oauthapp->insertUpdate(array(
   'title' => "cloned the yos-social-php5 SDK on Github",
   'description' => "A PHP5 SDK for YQL",
   'link' => "http://github.com/yahoo/yos-social-php5",
   'imgURL' => 'http://github.com/images/modules/header/logov3.png', 
   'imgWidth' => '100',
   'imgHeight' => '45'
));

Signing with SimpleAuth (OpenID + OAuth):

See the bundled sample code in examples/simpleauth/simpleauth.php.

Adding a Contact:

# valid 'Yahoo! Contacts Read/Write' scopes are required to support this method. 

$contact_fields = array();
$contact_fields[] = array('type' => 'email', 'value' => 'me@domain.com');
$contact_fields[] = array('type' => 'name', 'value' => array('givenName'=> 'John', 'familyName' => 'Doe'));
$contact = array('fields' => $contact_fields);

var_dump($oauthapp->addContact($contact));

Tests

The Yahoo! PHP SDK comes with a test suite to validate functionality. The tests also show functional examples and results. To run the test suite, simply execute the test suite:

php phpunit test/AllTests.php
