Admin API client (optional) — `Shipeasy\Admin`

The base SDK evaluates flags, configs, and experiments (Shipeasy\configure() + new Shipeasy\Client($user)). The Admin API client is a separate, optional…

Generated from the SDK's own /docs/ — also served raw at https://shipeasy-ai.github.io/sdk-php/pages/admin-api.md.

The base SDK evaluates flags, configs, and experiments (Shipeasy\configure() + new Shipeasy\Client($user)). The Admin API client is a separate, optional surface for administering a small, deliberate slice of those resources from server code.

It is intentionally lean — three capabilities, seven operations, not the whole admin API:

CapabilityOperations
File a public ticket (client key)createPublicBug, createPublicFeatureRequest
Toggle a kill switchtoggleKillswitch
Manage a whitelistgetGateWhitelist, setGateWhitelist, addToGateWhitelist, removeFromGateWhitelist

Everything else in the admin API — listing, generic CRUD, experiments, metrics, events, configs, i18n, projects, connectors, keys — is deliberately not here. Reach for the Shipeasy CLI or MCP for those; they speak the complete spec. Keeping the vendored contract small is what keeps the generated client small.

It is off by default: guzzlehttp/guzzle is a composer suggest, not a hard dependency of the base SDK. Install it to use the admin client:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

The client is generated from the Shipeasy OpenAPI spec, so it is a raw, 1:1 projection of the REST API: id-based paths and typed request models. It does not add the percent→basis-point conveniences you get from the Shipeasy CLI/MCP — reach for those tools when you want the ergonomic surface, and for this client when you want a typed, programmatic mirror of the API.

Authenticate and scope

Mint an admin SDK key (sdk_admin_…) and scope every call to a project.

$admin = new \Shipeasy\Admin\AdminClient(
    getenv('SHIPEASY_ADMIN_KEY'),      // Authorization: Bearer <key>
    getenv('SHIPEASY_PROJECT_ID'),     // sent as X-Project-Id on every call
    'https://shipeasy.ai',             // admin API host
    // Only needed for the two public ticket operations — see "File a public
    // ticket" below. They send it as X-SDK-Key, on the edge host.
    getenv('SHIPEASY_CLIENT_KEY') ?: null,
);

The project id is sent as the X-Project-Id header on every request. It is optional on the constructor — individual operations also accept an explicit $x_project_id argument to override per call.

File a public ticket

Two dedicated endpoints, so there is no discriminator to set and no fields from the other kind in the request. Both accept just a title.

These two are the public intake, and they differ from the other five operations in three ways worth knowing before you call them:

  • They authenticate with a client key (sdk_client_…) carrying the tickets:public_create scope — not the admin key. Client keys are meant to be embedded in shipped code, which is the point: a CLI, an installer, or a browser bundle can file a ticket without holding an admin credential.
  • They are served by the Shipeasy edge worker (api.shipeasy.ai), not the admin API host. The generated client already routes them there.
  • Every item is filed as pending_approval, parked out of the work queue until a human promotes it in the dashboard, and repeat submissions of the same title dedupe against the open ticket already tracking them (HTTP 200 with deduped: true instead of a second ticket).

The project is the key's own project — there is no project id to pass and no way to file into someone else's queue. The project must have public ticket creation enabled.

use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\CreatePublicBugRequest;
use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\CreatePublicFeatureRequestRequest;

$filed = $admin->ops()->createPublicBug(new CreatePublicBugRequest([
    'title' => 'Checkout 500s on Safari',
    'steps_to_reproduce' => 'Open the cart on iOS Safari and tap the price row.',
    'actual_result' => 'The primary CTA overlaps the price.',
    'priority' => 'high',
]));
echo $filed->getNumber();

$admin->ops()->createPublicFeatureRequest(new CreatePublicFeatureRequestRequest([
    'title' => 'Dark mode',
    'use_case' => 'Reduce eye strain at night',
]));

Toggle a kill switch

toggleKillswitch reads the current value and publishes its opposite in one call. Every body field is optional, so it widens from "flip it" to "set exactly this, on this environment". The body is the third argument (after the optional $x_project_id) because the spec marks it optional:

use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\ToggleKillswitchRequest;

$ks = 'payments.checkout'; // id (ksw_…) or name

// Flip the kill switch itself on prod — no body at all.
$admin->killswitch()->toggleKillswitch($ks);

// Flip one nested sub-switch on prod (created off→on if it doesn't exist yet).
$admin->killswitch()->toggleKillswitch($ks, null, new ToggleKillswitchRequest([
    'switch_key' => 'eu_region',
]));

// Set it idempotently — a retry can't undo the first call.
$admin->killswitch()->toggleKillswitch($ks, null, new ToggleKillswitchRequest([
    'switch_key' => 'eu_region',
    'value' => true,
]));

// …on a chosen environment.
$result = $admin->killswitch()->toggleKillswitch($ks, null, new ToggleKillswitchRequest([
    'switch_key' => 'eu_region',
    'value' => true,
    'env' => 'staging',
]));
printf("%s -> %s\n", var_export($result->getPrevious(), true), var_export($result->getValue(), true));

Omitting value (or passing null) means flip; passing an explicit true/false means set. Omitting env targets prod.

Manage a flag's whitelist

A gate's whitelist is the always-first allowlist that admits named identities before any targeting rule or percentage rollout runs — the same list the dashboard's Whitelist block edits.

use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\AddToGateWhitelistRequest;
use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\RemoveFromGateWhitelistRequest;
use Shipeasy\Admin\Generated\Model\SetGateWhitelistRequest;

$gate = 'new_checkout'; // id (gate_…) or name

$wl = $admin->flags()->getGateWhitelist($gate);
print_r([$wl->getAttr(), $wl->getEntries()]); // ['email', ['alice@acme.dev']]

// Let one more person in (idempotent — already-listed entries are skipped).
$admin->flags()->addToGateWhitelist($gate, new AddToGateWhitelistRequest([
    'entries' => ['bob@acme.dev'],
]));

// Revoke one.
$admin->flags()->removeFromGateWhitelist($gate, new RemoveFromGateWhitelistRequest([
    'entries' => ['bob@acme.dev'],
]));

// Pin an exact list, re-key onto user ids, or clear it entirely.
$admin->flags()->setGateWhitelist($gate, new SetGateWhitelistRequest([
    'attr' => 'user_id',
    'entries' => ['usr_123'],
]));
$admin->flags()->setGateWhitelist($gate, new SetGateWhitelistRequest(['entries' => []]));

setGateWhitelist is the only call that can switch attr or drop the block — 'entries' => [] removes the whitelist from the gate. Adding to a whitelist keyed on the other attribute is rejected with a 409 rather than silently re-keying everyone already listed.

Resource groups

Each resource group is a lazily-constructed accessor: flags(), killswitch(), ops(). Those three are the whole surface.

The exact method names, request models, and response shapes come straight from the spec — explore them under Shipeasy\Admin\Generated.

Escape hatch

$admin->configuration() exposes the underlying generated Configuration for advanced use (custom headers, retries, a shared Guzzle client).

Regenerating

The generated code lives under src/Shipeasy/Admin/Generated/ and is committed. admin/openapi.json is not the full Shipeasy spec — it is the dedicated server-SDK contract, hand-authored in the monorepo as marketplace/openapi/spec/openapi-sdk.yaml and bundled to openapi-sdk.json. Do not hand-edit it, and do not replace it with the full openapi.json: that is what bloats the generated client back to megabytes.

From the monorepo, re-vendor and regenerate in one step (only the generated namespace is rewritten, never the AdminClient shim):

pnpm sdk:spec:regen sdk-php

A monorepo pre-commit hook blocks any commit that changes the admin spec while this vendored copy is stale, so the two cannot silently drift.

The generator version is pinned in openapitools.json.
