composer require adenion/blog2social-api-php-sdk

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher

Initialization

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Adenion\Blog2Social\Sdk\Client\Blog2SocialClient;

$client = new Blog2SocialClient(
    $_ENV['BLOG2SOCIAL_SERVICE_TOKEN'],
    $_ENV['BLOG2SOCIAL_ACCESS_TOKEN'] ?? null
);

Do not commit API tokens. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.

Authenticate a User

$response = $client
    ->authentication()
    ->authenticateUser();

$access_token = $response['access_token'];

The access_token can then be assigned to the existing client:

$client->setAccessToken($access_token);

List Users

This service-level endpoint requires only the service_token.

$client = new Blog2SocialClient($service_token);
$users = $client->user()->listUsers();

List Available Networks

$networks = $client->network()->listNetwork();

List Network Properties

Network properties describe content limits, media formats, instant sharing, and video requirements.

$properties = $client->network()->listProperties();

For video publishing, inspect video_support and video_upload_type for the matching network_id and network_type.

A video token is generated only when video_upload_type is 1:

• 0: publish with a public video URL
• 1: request a video token and upload the local file in chunks
• 2: publish with a public video URL; no video token is generated

Connect a Social Media Account

$response = $client
    ->connection()
    ->addNetwork(
        1,
        1,
        'en'
    );

$auth_link = urldecode($response['auth_link']);

Network type values:

0 = Profile
1 = Page
2 = Group

Some networks may require a user app. Register its credentials first with $client->userApps()->add().

List Connected Accounts

$connections = $client
    ->user()
    ->listUserAuthentications();

The returned client_user_network_id identifies the publishing destination.

Publish a Link Post

$client_user_network_id = XXX;

$response = $client
    ->share()
    ->createPost(
        $client_user_network_id,
        [[
            'client_user_network_id' => $client_user_network_id,
            'title' => 'My first API post',
            'message' => 'Hello from the Blog2Social PHP SDK.',
            'postFormat' => 0,
            'customUrl' => 'https://example.com',
        ]]
    );

Post formats:

0 = Link
1 = Image
2 = Video

Publish an Image Post

$response = $client
    ->share()
    ->createPost(
        $client_user_network_id,
        [[
            'client_user_network_id' => $client_user_network_id,
            'title' => 'Image Post',
            'message' => 'This is an image post.',
            'postFormat' => 1,
            'mediaObjects' => [[
                'type' => 'IMAGE',
                'url' => 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
            ]],
        ]]
    );

Publish a Video by URL

Use this workflow when the matching network property has video_upload_type equal to 0 or 2.

$response = $client
    ->share()
    ->createPost(
        $client_user_network_id,
        [[
            'client_user_network_id' => $client_user_network_id,
            'title' => 'Video Post',
            'message' => 'This is a video post.',
            'postFormat' => 2,
            'mediaObjects' => [[
                'type' => 'VIDEO',
                'url' => 'https://example.com/video.mp4',
            ]],
        ]]
    );

Upload a Local Video

Use this workflow only when the matching network property has video_upload_type = 1.

1. Request a video token with $client->video()->createVideoPost().
2. Upload the file in chunks with $client->videoUpload()->uploadChunk().
3. Check the result with $client->videoStatus()->check().

A complete example is available in examples/uploadVideoAndPost.php.

User Apps

$user_app = $client
    ->userApps()
    ->add(
        6,
        'YOUR_APP_KEY',
        'YOUR_APP_SECRET',
        'My Pinterest App'
    );

Available methods:

$client->userApps()->add();
$client->userApps()->list();
$client->userApps()->modify();
$client->userApps()->delete();

Error Handling

API request errors are thrown as ApiException and include the HTTP status and parsed response data.

use Adenion\Blog2Social\Sdk\Exception\ApiException;

try {
    $client->network()->listNetwork();
} catch (ApiException $exception) {
    echo $exception->getStatusCode();
    print_r($exception->getResponseData());
}

Publishing endpoints may return one result per destination. Check every result object individually.

foreach ($response as $result) {
    if ((int) ($result['error'] ?? 1) === 0) {
        continue;
    }

    echo $result['b2s_error_code'] ?? 'DEFAULT';
}
