PHP Wrapper for The Imaging Source Download System Web API

The Imaging Source produces a large number of downloadable files (drivers, end-user software, documentation, images etc.). These resources are published at dl.theimagingsource.com and are available via a JSON-based API. In addition to encapsulating the functionality of the JSON-based API, this component library provides several helper objects to make access to The Imaging Source downloads as simple and quick as possible.

composer require theimagingsource/tisd-sdk ^5.0

JSON Structure

root
  categories
    sections
      packages
        package

Loop through the JSON structure in PHP

<?php

use Tisd\Sdk\Sdk;

$sdk = new Sdk();

$packages = $sdk->getPackages();

foreach ($packages['children'] as $categoryId => $categories) {
    foreach ($categories['children'] as $sectionId => $sections) {
        foreach ($sections['children'] as $packageId => $package) {
            // $latestPackageVersion = array_shift($package['versions']);
        }
    }
}

foreach ($packages['children'] as $categoryId => $categories) {
    foreach ($categories['children'] as $sectionId => $sections) {
        foreach ($sections['children'] as $packageId => $package) {
            // $latestPackageVersion = array_shift($package['versions']);
        }
        if (0 === count($packages['children'][$categoryId]['children'][$sectionId]['children'])) {
            unset($packages['children'][$categoryId]['children'][$sectionId]);
        }
    }
    if (0 === count($packages['children'][$categoryId]['children'])) {
        unset($packages['children'][$categoryId]);
    }
}
