System requirements

PHP 7.1.0 or higher is Required

Likelihood Of Impact: Critical

• The new minimum PHP version is now 7.1.0.
• PHP cURL extension

---

Get started

Register your application

In order to use this SDK, you have to register your application in My applications.

---

Install the SDK

Using Composer

Install Composer.

$ composer require pcloud/pcloud-php-sdk

or add the following to composer.json file

"require": {
  "pcloud/pcloud-php-sdk": "3.*"
}

Manually

Copy lib/ folder and include lib/autoload.php in your code

---

Initializing the SDK

The SDK uses an OAuth 2.0 access token to authorize requests to the pCloud API. You can obtain a token using the SDK's authorization flow. To allow the SDK to do that, find App Key, App secret and Redirect URIs in your application configuration page and add them to /example/code.php and /example/auth.php.

Note that redirect_uri is optional.

Run /example/code.php to get an authorization code and use this code in /example/auth.php. This will return access_token and locationid.

---

Example

// Include autoload.php and set the credential file path

$access_token = "ACCESS_TOKEN";
$locationid = 1;

$pCloudApp = new pCloud\Sdk\App();
$pCloudApp->setAccessToken($access_token);
$pCloudApp->setLocationId($locationid);

// Create Folder instance

$pcloudFolder = new pCloud\Sdk\Folder($pCloudApp);

// Create new folder in root

$folderId = $pcloudFolder->create("New folder");

// Create File instance

$pcloudFile = new pCloud\Sdk\File($pCloudApp);

// Upload new file in created folder

$fileMetadata = $pcloudFile->upload("./sample.png", $folderId);

// Get folder content

$folderContent = $pcloudFolder->getContent($folderId);

Creating custom requests

$access_token = "";
$locationid = 1;

$pCloudApp = new pCloud\Sdk\App();
$pCloudApp->setAccessToken($access_token);
$pCloudApp->setLocationId($locationid);

$method = "userinfo";
$params = array();

$request = new pCloud\Sdk\Request($pCloudApp);
$response = $request->get($method, $params); // the second argument is optional

Migration guide

In version SDK version 3 the most significant changes are related to adjusting the namespaces. To easily migrate to version 3 you need to change the following:

<?php 

namespace MyPhpApplication;

# this
use pCloud\App; // <-- Old versions

# change to: 
use pCloud\Sdk\App;  // <-- version 3.

-----

The same change needs to be applied to all pCloud SDK names, pCloud\File, pCloud\Folder, ...

In case you intanciating the classes directly, you can make the following changes:

<?php 

namespace MyPhpApplication;

# this
$pCloudFolder = new pCloud\Folder($pCloudApp); // <-- Old versions

# change to: 
$pCloudFolder = new pCloud\Sdk\Folder($pCloudApp); // <-- version 3.
