PHP Skynet

A framework agnostic php package to use the Skynet Courier API.

Installation

Require the package using composer:

composer require claassenmarius/php-skynet

Usage

Create an instance of Claassenmarius\PhpSkynet\Skynet, passing in your skynet username, password, account number and system id.

use Claassenmarius\PhpSkynet\Skynet;

$skynet = new Skynet(
  'skynet_username',
  'skynet_password',
  'skynet_system_id',
  'skynet_account_number'
);

The following methods are available to get a security token, validate a suburb/postcode combination, get a list of postal codes for a suburb, get a quote for a parcel, get an ETA between two locations, generate a waybill, obtain a POD image and track a waybill. Each method returns a new Claassenmarius\PhpSkynet\Response which exposes methods to inspect the response.

Get a security token

$response = $skynet->securityToken();

Validate a suburb and postal code combination

$response = $skynet->validateSuburbAndPostalCode([
    'suburb' => 'Brackenfell',
    'postal-code' => '7560'
]);

Get a list of postal codes for a suburb

$response = $skynet->postalCodesFromSuburb('Brackenfell');

Get a quote for a parcel

$response = $skynet->quote([
    'collect-city' => 'Brackenfell',
    'deliver-city' => 'Stellenbosch',
    'deliver-postcode' => '7600',
    'service-type' => 'ON1',
    'insurance-type' => '1',
    'parcel-insurance' => '0',

    'parcel-width' => 20, // cm
    'parcel-height' => 30, //cm
    'parcel-weight' => 20 //kg
]);

Get ETA between two locations

$response = $skynet->deliveryETA([
    'from-suburb' => 'Brackenfell',
    'from-postcode' => '7560',
    'to-suburb' => 'Stellenbosch',
    'to-postcode' => '7600',
    'service-type' => 'ON1'
]);

$response = $skynet->createWaybill([
    "customer-reference" => "Customer Reference",
    "GenerateWaybillNumber" => true,
    "service-type" => "ON1",
    "collection-date" => "2021-06-26",

    "parcel-weight" => 10,
    "parcel-reference" => "12345",
    "offsite-collection" => true
]);

Get a waybill POD Image

$response = $skynet->waybillPOD('your-waybill-number');

Track a waybill

$response = $skynet->trackWaybill('your-waybill-number');

Response

Claassenmarius\PhpSkynet\Response provides the following methods to inspect the response.

Get the body of the response in string format:

$securityToken = $response->body(); 
// "{"SecurityToken":"2_f77e4922-1407-485e-a0fa-4fdd5c29e9ca"}" 

Get the JSON decoded body of the response as an array or scalar value

$securityToken = $response->json(); 
// ["SecurityToken" => "2_c767aa41-bca8-4084-82a0-69d8e27fba2c"] 

Get the JSON decoded body of the response as an object.

$securityToken = $response->object(); 
// { +"SecurityToken": "2_c767aa41-bca8-4084-82a0-69d8e27fba2c" }

Get a header from the response.

$header = $response->header('Content-Type'); 
// "application/json; charset=utf-8"

Get the headers from the response.

$headers = $response->headers(); 
// Return an array of all headers

Get the status code of the response.

$headers = $response->status(); 
// 200

Determine if the request was successful (Whether status code >=200 & <300)

$headers = $response->successful(); 
// true

Determine if the response code was "OK". (Status code === 200)

$headers = $response->ok(); 
// true

Determine if server error occurred. (Whether status code >=500)

$headers = $response->serverError(); 
// false

Determine if client or server error occurred.

$headers = $response->failed(); 
// false

Exception Handling

This package uses the Guzzle PHP HTTP client behind the scenes to send requests.

• In the event of a networking error (connection timeout, DNS errors, etc.), a GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestExceptionis thrown. This exception extends fromGuzzleHttp\Exception\TransferException`. Catching this exception will catch any exception that can be thrown while transferring requests.

use GuzzleHttp\Psr7;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException;

try {
    $response = $skynet->securityToken();
} catch(RequestException $e) {
    // Handle the exception
}

• A GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException exception is thrown in the event of a networking error. This exception extends from GuzzleHttp\Exception\TransferException.
• A GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException is thrown for 400 level errors if the http_errors request option is set to true. This exception extends from GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException and GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException extends from GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException.

use GuzzleHttp\Psr7;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

try {
    $response = $skynet->securityToken();
} catch(ClientException $e) {
    // Handle the exception
}

• A GuzzleHttp\Exception\ServerException is thrown for 500 level errors if the http_errors request option is set to true. This exception extends from GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException.
