+# UnionCloud API Wrapper (PHP)
+
+By [Liam McDaid, University of York Students' Union (YUSU)](http://www.yusu.org)
+
+
+
+A wrapper to allow integration with the APIs of the [UnionCloud](http://www.unioncloud.co.uk) platform operated by NUS.
+
+
+    **This api wrapper is not maintained anymore.**
+
+ A potential replacement is linked here from [Bristol SU](https://github.com/bristol-su/nus-unioncloud-api-wrapper).
+
+
+## Old readme
+
+        **WARNING:** The apis are at Union level and should only be used by the Union. Access to the apis should not be given to any student groups under any circumstances.
+    
+    ## Requirements
+    * PHP5.5+
+    * [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
+    
+    ## Installation
+    Add ``yusu/unioncloud-api-php`` as a require dependency in your ``composer.json`` file:
+    
+    ```bash
+    composer require yusu/unioncloud-api-php
+    ```
+    
+    ## Usage
+    Create an instance of the api wrapper and tell it which site to use
+    
+    ```php
+    use UnionCloud\Api;
+    $api = new Api();
+    $api->setHost("www.yusu.org");
+    ```
+    
+    You can inject debug info about the request into the response by passing ``"include_debug_info" => true`` in either the constructor
+    
+    ```php
+    $api = new Api(["include_debug_info" => true]);
+    ```
+    
+    or
+    
+    ```php
+    $api->setOptions(["include_debug_info" => true]);
+    ```
+    
+    ### Authenticating
+    You need to authenticate before you are able to make any api calls
+    
+    ```php
+    $api->authenticate($user_email, $user_password, $app_id, $app_password);
+    ```
+    
+    ``$app_id`` and ``$app_password`` can be created via your unions dashboard ( **Admin** > **Setup** > **Developers** )
+    
+    ``$user_email`` and ``$user_password`` should be the login details of a valid user for your union that has the permissions to access the apis. **Note:** This should be a service account. Its best to contact NUS via Zendesk to get setup with these as there are some other settings which need to be enabled for the apis to work.
+    
+      
+    ```php
+    $api->setAuthToken($auth_token, $expiry_timestamp);
+    ```
+            
+    ### Making API calls
+    
+    Once you have successfully authenticated you are able to make api calls using the wrapper. Please consult the documentation apiary and the methods which this wrapper exposes to make calls. A few examples are given below:
+    
+    ```php
+    // users
+    $users = $api->users();
+    $user = $api->user_search(["id" => "lm638"]);
+    
+    // events
+    $events = $api->events();
+    $event = $api->event_get($event_id);
+    $api->event_update($event_id, ["event_name" => "New Event Name"]);
+    
+    // groups
+    $groups = $api->groups();
+    ```
+
