README

Important

This is not an official SDK developed by Esv.org.

Developer-friendly & type-safe Php SDK specifically catered to leverage walker-tx/esv API.



Summary

ESV.org API: A convenient way to fetch content from ESV.org.

The ESV API provides access to the ESV text, with a customizable presentation in multiple formats.

For more information about the API: ESV API Website

SDK Installation

The SDK relies on Composer to manage its dependencies.

To install the SDK and add it as a dependency to an existing composer.json file:

composer require "walker-tx/esv-sdk-php"

SDK Example Usage

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use WalkerTx\Esv;
use WalkerTx\Esv\Models\Operations;

$sdk = Esv\Esv::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();

$request = new Operations\GetPassageHtmlRequest(
    query: '<value>',
);

$response = $sdk->passages->getHtml(
    request: $request
);

if ($response->passageResponse !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name Type Scheme
apiKey apiKey API key

To authenticate with the API the apiKey parameter must be set when initializing the SDK. For example:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use WalkerTx\Esv;
use WalkerTx\Esv\Models\Operations;

$sdk = Esv\Esv::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();

$request = new Operations\GetPassageHtmlRequest(
    query: '<value>',
);

$response = $sdk->passages->getHtml(
    request: $request
);

if ($response->passageResponse !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Pagination

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned object will be a Generator instead of an individual response.

Working with generators is as simple as iterating over the responses in a foreach loop, and you can see an example below:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use WalkerTx\Esv;

$sdk = Esv\Esv::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();



$responses = $sdk->passages->search(
    query: '<value>',
    pageSize: 20,
    page: 1

);


foreach ($responses as $response) {
    if ($response->statusCode === 200) {
        // handle response
    }
}

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or throw an exception.

By default an API error will raise a Errors\APIException exception, which has the following properties:

Property Type Description
$message string The error message
$statusCode int The HTTP status code
$rawResponse ?\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface The raw HTTP response
$body string The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the getHtml method throws the following exceptions:

Error Type Status Code Content Type
Errors\Error 400, 401 application/json
Errors\APIException 4XX, 5XX */*

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use WalkerTx\Esv;
use WalkerTx\Esv\Models\Errors;
use WalkerTx\Esv\Models\Operations;

$sdk = Esv\Esv::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();

try {
    $request = new Operations\GetPassageHtmlRequest(
        query: '<value>',
    );

    $response = $sdk->passages->getHtml(
        request: $request
    );

    if ($response->passageResponse !== null) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Errors\ErrorThrowable $e) {
    // handle $e->$container data
    throw $e;
} catch (Errors\APIException $e) {
    // handle default exception
    throw $e;
}

Server Selection

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can be overridden globally using the setServerUrl(string $serverUrl) builder method when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use WalkerTx\Esv;
use WalkerTx\Esv\Models\Operations;

$sdk = Esv\Esv::builder()
    ->setServerURL('https://api.esv.org/v3/')
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();

$request = new Operations\GetPassageHtmlRequest(
    query: '<value>',
);

$response = $sdk->passages->getHtml(
    request: $request
);

if ($response->passageResponse !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
