A PHP SDK for the Dropbox Core API
New engineers at Dropbox take on short "residency" projects during their first few weeks. The goal is to get familiar with the code base and collaborate with people across teams. My project sat with the Platform team, which had a long-running request from developers: a PHP SDK for the Core API.
That SDK has now reached version 1.0. It runs on PHP 5.3 and above, and is supported by a dedicated getting started guide and a complete API reference for exploring the available classes and methods.
What the SDK Covers
The SDK provides a PHP-native wrapper around the Core API endpoints, handling the underlying HTTP requests and response parsing so application code can work with Dropbox resources directly. It targets PHP 5.3+, which was the common baseline for many production codebases at the time of release.
Getting Help
If the SDK doesn't behave as you expect in your own project, the API forums are the place to report issues and ask questions. Documentation links above cover both the initial setup flow and the full method surface for the 1.0.x release line.
