Migrating from v1.x SDK (v3 API) to v2.x SDK (v4 API)

Whilst every best effort is made to minimise the number of breaking changes, some breaking changes exist to ensure improved method naming conventions and compatibility with OAuth authentication and the v4 API.

This guide is designed to cover changes that developers may need to make to their existing implementation when upgrading to the v2 SDK.

PHP Version

The minimum supported PHP version is 8.0. Users on older PHP versions should continue to use the v1 SDK.

Authentication

Authentication is now via OAuth. It's recommended to refer to the README file's Getting Started section for implementation.

Initializing the ConvertKit_API class now accepts a clientID, clientSecret and accessToken in place of the existing api_key and api_secret:

$api = new \ConvertKit_API\ConvertKit_API(
    clientID: '<your_oauth_client_id>',
    clientSecret: '<your_oauth_client_secret>',
    accessToken: '<your_oauth_access_token>'
);

Pagination

For list based endpoints which fetch data from the API (such as broadcasts, custom fields, subscribers, tags, email templates, forms, purchases etc.), cursor based pagination is used. The following parameters can be specified in the API methods:

  • per_page: Defines the number of results to return, with a maximum value of 100
  • after_cursor: When specified, returns the next page of results based on the current result's pagination->end_cursor value
  • before_cursor: When specified, returns the previous page of results based on the current result's pagination->start_cursor value
