README

This repository contains the open source PHP SDK that allows you to access the Amazon Creators API from your PHP app.

Note: This package was previously the PAAPI5 PHP SDK. As of v2.0.0 it has been migrated to wrap Amazon's Creators API PHP SDK. Existing consumers should update their namespace references from Amazon\ProductAdvertisingAPI\v1\ to Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\ and switch from AWS Signature V4 credentials to OAuth 2.0 credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, Version).

Copy of Amazon's Provided Code

This is a near-identical public copy of Amazon's provided Creators API PHP SDK, as their version is not available through Packagist. The Composer package name remains thewirecutter/paapi5-php-sdk for backwards compatibility with existing consumers.

We have not changed the API behavior in any way. A listing of our additions and changes are provided below, which primarily enforce a code-sniff standard and support running an continuous integration pipeline.

Changes from Amazon

Added squizlabs/php_codesniffer dev dependency and PSR-2 CI linting.
Updated CircleCI configuration for automated builds.
Upgraded friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer to ^3.5 with updated .php_cs config.
Added integration tests that run the example scripts and verify they execute without any errors.
Added typehints to method signatures where possible (without breaking backwards compatibility).

Installation

The Creators API PHP SDK can be installed with Composer. The SDK is available via Packagist under the thewirecutter/paapi5-php-sdk package.

composer require thewirecutter/paapi5-php-sdk

Requirements

PHP 8.1 or greater
Guzzle 7.3+
Amazon Creators API credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, and Version

Authentication

This SDK uses OAuth 2.0 (not AWS Signature V4). You will need:

Credential ID (Client ID) — from the Amazon Associates program
Credential Secret (Client Secret)
Version — the credential version string
Marketplace — e.g. www.amazon.com
Partner Tag — your Amazon Associates tracking ID

The SDK handles token caching automatically via OAuth2TokenManager. This caching only persists as long as the same instance of DefaultApi is used.

Usage

Simple example for GetItems to retrieve product details for specific ASINs:

<?php

require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

use Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\Configuration;
use Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\com\amazon\creators\api\DefaultApi;
use Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\com\amazon\creators\model\GetItemsRequestContent;
use Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\com\amazon\creators\model\GetItemsResource;
use Amazon\CreatorsAPI\v1\ApiException;

$config = new Configuration();
$config->setCredentialId('<YOUR CREDENTIAL ID>');
$config->setCredentialSecret('<YOUR CREDENTIAL SECRET>');
$config->setVersion('<YOUR CREDENTIAL VERSION>');

$api = new DefaultApi(null, $config);

$marketplace = 'www.amazon.com';

$resources = [
    GetItemsResource::IMAGES_PRIMARY_MEDIUM,
    GetItemsResource::ITEM_INFO_TITLE,
    GetItemsResource::OFFERS_V2_LISTINGS_PRICE,
];

$request = new GetItemsRequestContent();
$request->setPartnerTag('<YOUR PARTNER TAG>');
$request->setItemIds(['B0DLFMFBJW', 'B0BFC7WQ6R']);
$request->setResources($resources);

try {
    $response = $api->getItems($marketplace, $request);
    echo 'API called successfully' . PHP_EOL;
    echo json_encode($response, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES) . PHP_EOL;
} catch (ApiException $e) {
    echo 'Error calling Creators API!' . PHP_EOL;
    echo $e . PHP_EOL;
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Unexpected error: ' . $e . PHP_EOL;
}
