This page contains documentation that is common across all resource types. For specific documention about one resource type or another see their specific pages:
Authentication with the Walmart Partner APIs requires a Consumer ID and Private Key. Short lived signatures are calculated using these values and sent along in the headers with each request.
The values for Consumer ID and Private Key are passed into the constructor of each resource type object on instantiation. For example:
<?php
use Walmart\Item;
$order = new Item([
'consumerId' => getenv('CONSUMER_ID'),
'privateKey' => getenv('PRIVATE_KEY'),
]);In the example above it is assumed the Consumer ID and Private Key are available as environment variables, but you can store them any way you prefer so long as it is secure. The combination of these values is the same as a username and password so guard them carefully.
Internally this SDK uses the fillup/walmart-auth-signature-php
library to do the signature calculation. If you prefer to write your
own API calls to the Partner APIs rather than use this SDK you may
still want to use the signature library to handle that piece for you
as it is fairly complicated.
There are both Staging and Production environments for the Partner API.
You can control which environment you are developing against by passing
it as the second parameter to a resource constructor. For Staging, use
ResourceType::ENV_STAGE and for production use
ResourceType::ENV_PROD. For ResourceType replace with the
resource you are working with.
The default environment is production, so you only need to specify which environment to use when staging is desired.
Example:
<?php
use Walmart\Item;
$item = new Item(
[
'consumerId' => getenv('CONSUMER_ID'),
'privateKey' => getenv('PRIVATE_KEY'),
],
Item::ENV_STAGE
);For development and testing purposes this SDK also comes with a mock environment that allows you to define the responses for specific API calls. This can be helpful for testing transactional functions like shipping and refunding orders. It is also the mode that should be used for any of your own unit tests to prevent making calls to the Partner APIs.
To use the mock environment simply specify it when instantiating the object:
<?php
use Walmart\Item;
$item = new Item(
[
'consumerId' => getenv('CONSUMER_ID'),
'privateKey' => getenv('PRIVATE_KEY'),
],
Item::ENV_MOCK
);The mock environment works by storing the responses in files located
under src/mock/. When a request is made in mock mode, middleware
is used to identify which resource the request is for, such as
price or item, and then looks for an array index in the
file for the request method plus the requested path. For example when
retrieving a list of items the index might be
GET /v2/items?limit=5. Each mock is an array with keys for
status, headers, and body which are used to create
the mock response.
The unit tests in tests/ use the mocks which you can reference
for more examples.
This SDK allows you to interact with Partner APIs without having to fuss with XML as is expected by the API. The structure for resources in this SDK follows that of the XML schemas though and it is recommended that you reference the latest schema files for complete schema information.
The latest schema files can be downloaded from https://developer.walmartapis.com/.
This SDK will convert the XML responses from the API into normal PHP arrays. For example, below is the XML returned from the API followed by the array representation of the same. This example is for getting a single Order.
