README

This is a sample PHP library for partners to interact with the Digital Scout API for managing games, scores, and ID mappings.

Feel free to provide pull requests, as this was written by someone with little PHP experience.

Installation

The recommended way to install this library is through Composer.

# Install Composer (Linux/OSX)
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version of this library:

composer.phar require digitalscout/api-client

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

An API key is required to access this API. Please contact Digital Scout if you require one.

$client = new DigitalScout\Api("api.hsgamecenter.com", $apiKey);

//create a game
$newGame = new DigitalScout\Models\Game([
		"Sport" => "Football",
		"StartTime" => new DateTime("2015-09-01T23:00:00.000Z")
		"Participants" => [
			['SchoolId' => $school1Id, 'Level' => 'Varsity', 'Gender' => 'Male'],
			['SchoolId' => $school2Id, 'Level' => 'Varsity', 'Gender' => 'Male']
		], 
		"HomeSchoolId" => $school1Id
	]);
	
$createdGame = $client->games->createGame($newGame);

//load a game
$loadedGame = $client->games->getGame($createdGame->Id);

//change the time for a game
$loadedGame->StartTime = new DateTime("2015-10-01T23:00:00.000Z");
$updatedGame = $client->games->updateGame($loadedGame);

//add scores to a game
$scoreUpdate = new DigitalScout\Models\GameScores([
		"Scores" => [
			["SchoolId" => $school1Id, "Period" => 1, "Score" => 0 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school1Id, "Period" => 2, "Score" => 7 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school1Id, "Period" => 3, "Score" => 0 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school1Id, "Period" => 4, "Score" => 7 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school2Id, "Period" => 1, "Score" => 7 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school2Id, "Period" => 2, "Score" => 0 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school2Id, "Period" => 3, "Score" => 7 ],
			["SchoolId" => $school2Id, "Period" => 4, "Score" => 0 ]			
		]
	]);

$client->games->updateGameScore($updatedGame->Id, $scoreUpdate);
