Create Access Tokens
Create a new Access Token using your email and password. Be sure to save the returned Access Token either by saving $accessToken->getToken() to a custom storage system.
Not Supported with SSO
If your team is configured with SSO, you will not have a password for Catalytic and therefore cannot use this method to create Access Tokens. Instead, use the
createWithWebApprovalFlowmethod, or create a new Access Token in the Catalytic Web App and copy or download it to use in your app. See Authentication for details.
Method Signature
create(string $domain, string $email, string $password, string $name = null): AccessToken
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
$teamName | string | The name or hostname you use to log in to your Catalytic team. This will typically be<your-team-name>.pushbot.com |
$email | string | The email address you use to log in to Catalytic |
$password | string | The password you use to log in to Catalytic |
$name | string | Optional The name to apply to the new Access Token, which will be visible when managing your Access Tokens via the Catalytic Web App |
| returns | AccessToken | The newly created Access Token |
Example
<?php
/*
* This example demonstrates creating a new Access Token using your
* email and password
*/
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
use Catalytic\SDK\CatalyticClient;
use Catalytic\SDK\Search\Where;
$catalytic = new CatalyticClient();
$accessToken = $catalytic->accessTokens()->create(
"your-team.pushbot.com",
"your-email",
"your-password");
// Save a file with the token to ~/.catalytic/default
$user = posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid());
$file = new SplFileObject($user['dir'], 'w');
$file->fwrite($accessToken->getToken());
// You are now authenticated and ready to use the Catalytic SDK
// The above only needs to be done once. Now that your Access Token
// is saved as the default Access Token, you can configure the SDK
// to use those:
$catalytic = new CatalyticClient();
The CreateWithWebApprovalFlow Method
Create a new Access Token and approve them by logging into your Catalytic account. This method works both for teams with and without SSO enabled. See Authentication for details.

$name | string | A descriptive name to associate with the new Access Token |
| returns | AccessToken | The newly created Access Token |
Example
<?php
/*
* This example demonstrates creating a new Access Token using tbe
* web approval flow
*/
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
use Catalytic\SDK\CatalyticClient;
use Catalytic\SDK\Search\Where;
$catalytic = new CatalyticClient();
$accessToken = $catalytic->accessTokens()->createWithWebApprovalFlow(
"your-team.pushbot.com");
$approvalUrl = $catalytic->accessTokens()->getApprovalUrl($accessToken);
// A human will need to approve the Access Token
$catalytic->accessTokens()->waitForApproval($accessToken);
// Save a file with the token to ~/.catalytic/default
$user = posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid());
$file = new SplFileObject($user['dir'], 'w');
$file->fwrite($accessToken->getToken());
// You are now authenticated and ready to use the Catalytic SDK
// The above only needs to be done once. Now that your Access Token
// is saved as the default Access Token, you can configure the SDK
// to use those:
$catalytic = new CatalyticClient();
The GetApprovalUrl Method

$applicationName | string | The name used on the approval url |

Method Signature
waitForApproval(AccessToken $accessToken, int $waitTimeMillis = null): AccessToken
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
