README

Lob builds APIs for Printing and Mailing for developers. It makes sending postcards, checks, and letters a breeze. It even provides basic address verification.

This is a library to connect to and consume the Lob API.

Installation

First, install composer.

Next, require this package.

composer require 'brianseitel/lob:dev-master'

Usage

The library is designed to be as simple as possible to use. All you need is your API Key, which you can find on your Dashboard. Your API key goes into a file in config/app.php. It looks like this:

<?php

return [
    'lob' => [
        'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE'
    ]
];

Now, you can use the API library like so:

$api_key = Lob\Config::get('lob.api_key');
$lob = new Lob\Api($api_key);

$results = $lob->request('get', 'addresses', []); // List all addresses

The full signature is: $lob->request($action, $endpoint, $data)

• $action must be one of the standard HTTP verbs (case insensitive): GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH
• $endpoint must be on of the endpoints detailed in Lob's Developer Documentation.
• $data must be an array of parameters. This library does not check the validity of the parameters.
