Backup Pro REST Client

A simple REST cient to interact with Backup Pro installations., _(*1)

Installation

Add backup-pro/rest-client as a requirement to composer.json:, _(*2)

$ composer require backup-pro/rest-client

Simple Example

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$backups = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->get('/backups');

Authentication

Backup Pro uses HMAC-SHA authentication which is a simple key / secret paradigm to create hashed signatures. You can get/set your api key and secret, as well as the API URL endpoint, from your individual Backup Pro installations., _(*3)

Error Handling

If anything goes wrong with a request the library will return an ApiProblem object. Here's an example:, _(*4)

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;
use \mithra62\BpApiClient\ApiProblem;

$client = new Client();
$backups = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->get('/backups');

if($result instanceof ApiProblem) 
{
    if($result->getStatus() == 403) {
        //authentication issue
    }

    $result->getTitle() //API problem response title
    $result->getDetail() //API problem response details

}

Hal Responses

For all successful responses from the Backup Pro API, the library will return an instance of \mithra62\BpApiClient\Hal object which is a wrapper for \Nocarrier\Hal., _(*5)

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;
use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Hal;

$client = new Client();
$backups = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->get('/backups');

if($result instanceof Hal) 
{
    $data = $result->getData();
    $resources = $result->getResources();
}

Examples

Since Backup Pro follows the [Richardson Maturity Model](Richardson Maturity Model) there are helper methods available for each HTTP verb. Below are some simple usecase examples and their implementations, _(*6)

Take a Backup

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$backups = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->post('/backups');

Update Settings

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$settings = array('working_directory' => '/path/to/working_directory');
$update = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->put('/settings', $settings);

Get Settings

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$settings = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->get('/settings');

Get Storage Locations

use \mithra62\BpApiClient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$storage_locations = $client->setApiKey($api_key)
                 ->setApiSecret($api_secret)
                 ->setSiteUrl($api_endpoint_url)
                 ->get('/storage');
