Pros: - Can authorize users with specific scope - Can check for required scope before executing API call - Works with: Users, Groups, DataStorage, Account and Documents APIs - Easy to modify - Easy to use

This code is available on Github. Pull requests are welcome.

Require this package with Composer

Install this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require freedomcore/vk-api.

Create composer.json file

{
    "name": "nameofyourproject/nameofyourproject",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {

        "freedomcore/vk-api": "*"
    }
}

and run composer update

or

run this command in your command line:

composer require freedomcore/vk-api

Configuration

1. Create New Object a. To work with Library before authorization completed ` $vkObject = new FreedomCore\VK\VKBase('{APPLICATION_ID}', '{API_SECRET}'); ` b. To work with Library after authorization completed ` $vkObject = new FreedomCore\VK\VKBase('{APPLICATION_ID}', '{API_SECRET}', '{ACCESS_TOKEN}'); `
2. How to authorize user a. Generate Authorization Link ` $vkObject->getAuthorizationURL('{SCOPE}', '{CALLBACK_URL}'); ` b. Get Access Token By Using Key From Callback ` $vkObject->getAccessToken('{CODE}'); ` c. Check, if user authorized ` $vkObject->isAuthorized(); // returns true | false `
3. Now you can work with API
