README

A very simplistic Stitch Import API client library for php.

Some important notes

When pushing data at the API there is two fairly undocumented features that should be noted.

date and datetime

First you should note that the API doesn't support datetime. At first I thought this was a bad thing, but after som soulsearching I have concluded that this actually isnt't breaking anything. Just use the date format YYYYMMDD and cast it to an int before pushing it into the Stich Client liberary. Dates will be stored as integers and is easy to both join and do filtering on. I guess most datatargets have great support for handling numbers.

Floats and numbers

The stitch API distincts between numbers and floats. When sending stuff with JSON, PHP for instance will by default remove zeros from floats. To prevent this behaviour this small liberary uses the JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION flag.

json_encode($body , JSON_PRESERVE_ZERO_FRACTION);

Might be helpful for other implementations.
