Official PHP client for the tourware REST API

The tourware PHP SDK provides a clean, consistent, and extensible PHP interface to the tourware REST API.
It simplifies authentication, querying, filtering, pagination, and interaction with all tourware resources such as Travels, Bookings, Customers, and more.

The SDK is designed for modern PHP applications, including Laravel and Symfony, but works with any PSR-4 compatible project.

📦 Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require tourware/sdk-php

Load the package:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

🚀 Quick Start

use tourware\Client;

// Create a client for the flowcore API (staging by default)
$client = Client::create(
    xApiKey: 'YOUR_X_API_KEY'
);

// Production:
$prodClient = Client::create(
    xApiKey: 'YOUR_X_API_KEY',
    staging: false
);

// Example: Fetch a travel record
$travel = $client->travels()->find('60feacb365f5f1002750c2b2');

🧭 Working With Entities

Each API resource has a dedicated client.

Accessing entities:

$client->travel()->find('id');
$client->booking()->list();
$client->customer()->create([...]);

Using entity classes:

use tourware\Entities\Travel;

$travel = $client->entity(new Travel)->find('id');

Raw access:

$travel = $client->raw('travels')->find('id');

🔍 Query Builder

The SDK includes a fluent query builder.

$travels = $client
    ->travel()
    ->query()
    ->filter('title')->contains('Kenya')
    ->filter('price.adult')->gte(1500)
    ->sort('updatedAt')->desc()
    ->offset(0)
    ->limit(20)
    ->get();

Dot-notation access:

$title = $travels->get('records.0.title');
$firstName = $travels->get('records.0.responsibleUser.firstname');

💥 CRUD Operations

Create

$client->travel()->create([
    'title' => 'New Travel Package',
]);

Read

$client->travel()->find('id');

Update

$client->travel()->update('id', [
    'title' => 'Updated Title',
]);

Delete

$client->travel()->delete('id');

List

$client->travel()->list(offset: 0, limit: 50);

⚙️ Custom Requests

$response = $client
    ->custom("/relations/getRelations/travels/bba0b42e4699", method: 'GET')
    ->call();

🛡️ Error Handling

try {
    $travel = $client->travel()->find('id');
} catch (\tourware\Exceptions\ApiException $e) {
    echo "API Error: " . $e->getMessage();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo "General Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

🧪 Testing

composer test

🎯 Best Practices

• Store API keys in environment variables
• Prefer Query Builder over raw endpoints
• Wrap API calls in try/catch
• Log API requests and responses
