Sierra PHP API Class

This PHP class allows you to connect to Sierra's API and make queries.

Example Usage

Authenticating

Before running any query, you will need to authenticate with your API client/secret

// you don't need to include if using composer for packaging
include('src/IIISierra/APIClient/Sierra.php');

use \IIISierra\APIClient\Sierra;

$s = new Sierra(array(
  'endpoint' => 'Sierra REST API Endpoint (ie https://lib.example.edu/iii/sierra-api/v1/)',
  'key' => 'Sierra Client Key',
  'secret' => 'Sierra Client Secret'
  'tokenFile' => 'Location to the temp file to keep token infomation, default: /tmp/SierraToken'
 ));

Example 1

This example gets information on bib ID 3996024 and limits the results to 20 records only including the fields id, location, and status.

$bibInformation = $s->query('items', array(
  'bibIds' => '3996024',
  'limit' => '20',
  'fields' => 'id,location,status'
));

Example 2

This example gets the first ten bib records with CAT DATE between May 1, 2017 and May 15, 2017

$query = '{
  "target": {
    "record": {
      "type": "bib"
    },
    "id": 28
  },
  "expr": {
    "op": "between",
    "operands": [
      "05-01-2017",
      "05-15-2017"
    ]
  }
}';
$bibInformation = $s->query('bibs/query?offset=0&limit=10', $query, FALSE, 'POST');
