Step by Step Guide to Building a Bonjoro API Integration in PHP

Introduction

Hey there, fellow code wrangler! Ready to supercharge your app with some Bonjoro magic? You're in the right place. We're about to dive into building a slick Bonjoro API integration using PHP. Buckle up!

Prerequisites

Before we jump in, make sure you've got:

  • PHP 7.4+ (because who doesn't love those sweet, sweet type hints?)
  • cURL extension enabled (we'll be making HTTP requests like it's going out of style)
  • A Bonjoro API key (grab one from your Bonjoro dashboard if you haven't already)

Setting Up the Environment

First things first, let's get our ducks in a row:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Now, create a config file to store your API key:

// config.php return [ 'bonjoro_api_key' => 'your_api_key_here', ];

Basic API Connection

Let's create a helper function to handle our API requests:

function makeBonjorRequest($endpoint, $method = 'GET', $data = []) { $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client(['base_uri' => 'https://api.bonjoro.com/v2/']); $config = require 'config.php'; try { $response = $client->request($method, $endpoint, [ 'headers' => [ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $config['bonjoro_api_key'], 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', ], 'json' => $data, ]); return json_decode($response->getBody(), true); } catch (GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException $e) { // Handle errors like a boss return ['error' => $e->getMessage()]; } }

Implementing Key Bonjoro API Features

Sending a Bonjoro

Time to spread some video love:

function sendBonjoro($recipientEmail, $message) { return makeBonjorRequest('bonjoros', 'POST', [ 'recipient' => ['email' => $recipientEmail], 'message' => $message, ]); } // Usage $result = sendBonjoro('[email protected]', 'Thanks for being awesome!');

Retrieving Bonjoro Data

Let's fetch those Bonjoros:

function getBonjoroList($page = 1, $perPage = 20) { return makeBonjorRequest("bonjoros?page=$page&per_page=$perPage"); } // Usage $bonjoroList = getBonjoroList();

Managing Recipients

Add a new fan to your Bonjoro list:

function addRecipient($email, $name) { return makeBonjorRequest('recipients', 'POST', [ 'email' => $email, 'name' => $name, ]); } // Usage $newRecipient = addRecipient('[email protected]', 'Newbie McAwesome');

Handling Webhooks

Listen for Bonjoro events like a pro:

function handleWebhook() { $payload = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true); $signature = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_BONJORO_SIGNATURE'] ?? ''; if (!verifySignature($payload, $signature)) { http_response_code(403); return; } // Process the webhook payload switch ($payload['event']) { case 'bonjoro.sent': // Handle sent Bonjoro break; // Add more cases as needed } http_response_code(200); } function verifySignature($payload, $signature) { $config = require 'config.php'; $expectedSignature = hash_hmac('sha256', json_encode($payload), $config['bonjoro_webhook_secret']); return hash_equals($expectedSignature, $signature); }

Error Handling and Best Practices

Always expect the unexpected:

function makeBonjorRequest($endpoint, $method = 'GET', $data = []) { // ... existing code ... try { $response = $client->request($method, $endpoint, [ // ... existing options ... ]); return json_decode($response->getBody(), true); } catch (GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) { if ($e->getResponse()->getStatusCode() === 429) { // Handle rate limiting sleep(5); // Wait for 5 seconds return makeBonjorRequest($endpoint, $method, $data); // Retry } // Handle other client errors return ['error' => $e->getMessage()]; } catch (GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException $e) { // Handle server errors return ['error' => 'Bonjoro server error. Please try again later.']; } }

Testing the Integration

Don't forget to test your code! Here's a quick PHPUnit test to get you started:

class BonjoroIntegrationTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function testSendBonjoro() { $result = sendBonjoro('[email protected]', 'Test message'); $this->assertArrayHasKey('id', $result); } // Add more tests for other functions }

Optimization and Performance Considerations

For better performance, consider implementing caching:

function getBonjoroList($page = 1, $perPage = 20) { $cacheKey = "bonjoro_list_$page_$perPage"; $cache = new Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter(); $cachedList = $cache->getItem($cacheKey); if (!$cachedList->isHit()) { $list = makeBonjorRequest("bonjoros?page=$page&per_page=$perPage"); $cachedList->set($list); $cachedList->expiresAfter(3600); // Cache for 1 hour $cache->save($cachedList); } return $cachedList->get(); }

Security Considerations

Always protect your API keys and validate webhook signatures. Use environment variables for sensitive data:

// config.php return [ 'bonjoro_api_key' => getenv('BONJORO_API_KEY'), 'bonjoro_webhook_secret' => getenv('BONJORO_WEBHOOK_SECRET'), ];

Conclusion

And there you have it! You've just built a rock-solid Bonjoro API integration in PHP. Remember, this is just the beginning – there's a whole world of Bonjoro features waiting for you to explore. Keep experimenting, stay curious, and most importantly, have fun spreading those video vibes!
