OpenAPI PHP Sample Repository

This repository contains sample files demonstrating OpenAPI interactions in PHP.

Since this is only backend, we recommend to take a look at the more detailed (and also web based) samples of the JavaScript repository.

This repository contains sample code for developers working with Saxo's OpenAPI using PHP.

To get started, make sure you:

1. Create a (free) developer account on the Developer Portal.
2. Check out the Reference Documentation and Learn sections.
3. Create an app in Application Management, or obtain a 24-hour access token when required.

Requirements

Besides the developer account:

• cURL is used for the samples. GZip and HTTP/2 when supported.
• Supported PHP versions: PHP 7 and higher. A version of PHP with active support is strongly advised.
