README

This is library for the Namecheap API. It supports all of the latest namecheap API methods and is installable using composer. Started off as just a fork of Humen/Namecheap but I ended up making a whole lot of breaking changes including how you interact with the class and the parser so switching to it's own repo.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.0 or greater

Installation

To install Namecheap, use the following composer require statement:

    "require": {
        "aronduby/namecheap": "dev-master"
    }

Usage

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$api_user = 'YOUR-API-USERNAME';
$api_key = 'YOUR-API-KEY';
$client_ip = 'YOUR-IP-ADDRESS';
$sandbox = true;

$namecheap = new Namecheap\Wrapper($api_user, $api_key, $client_ip, $sandbox);
$response = $namecheap->domains()->getTldList();

if($response->success === true){
	$response->getData();
} else {
	$response->getErrors();
}

Parser

The XML to Array parsing is done via this function from Outlandish blog. The nodes, starting at CommandResponse, will be returned as nested associative arrays where the node name is a key, attributes are prefixed with @ and the text value is $.

So this call:

$rsp = $namecheap->domains()->dns()->getEmailForwarding(['DomainName' => 'test.com']);

results in the following XML from $rsp->getRaw():

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApiResponse Status="OK" xmlns="http://api.namecheap.com/xml.response">
 <Errors />
 <Warnings />
 <RequestedCommand>namecheap.domains.dns.getEmailForwarding</RequestedCommand>
 <CommandResponse Type="namecheap.domains.dns.getEmailForwarding">
   <DomainDNSGetEmailForwardingResult Domain="test.com">
     <Forward mailboxid="19935" mailbox="info">test@gmail.com</Forward>
     <Forward mailboxid="19936" mailbox="webmaster">test@grcmc.org</Forward>
   </DomainDNSGetEmailForwardingResult>
 </CommandResponse>
 <Server>PHX01SBAPI01</Server>
 <GMTTimeDifference>--4:00</GMTTimeDifference>
 <ExecutionTime>1.379</ExecutionTime>
</ApiResponse>

which results in the follow array from $rsp->getData():

[
 "@Type" => "namecheap.domains.dns.getEmailForwarding",
 "DomainDNSGetEmailForwardingResult" => [
   [
     "@Domain" => "test.com",
     "Forward" => [
       [
         "@mailboxid" => "19935",
         "@mailbox" => "info",
         "$" => "test@gmail.com",
       ],
       [
         "@mailboxid" => "19936",
         "@mailbox" => "webmaster",
         "$" => "test@gmail.com",
       ],
     ],
   ],
 ],
]

If you prefer to work directly with the SimpleXml object just call $response->getXml()

TODO

• Write unit tests
• Write DTOs to enforce strictness in calls
