All the code snippets shown here are modified for clarity, so they may not be executable.

Setup service

// get credentials
$apiUser = getenv('BALIKOBOT_API_USER');
$apiKey  = getenv('BALIKOBOT_API_KEY');

// init balikobot class
$requester = new Requester($apiUser, $apiKey, sslVerify: true);
$balikobot = new Balikobot($requester);

Create packages and order shipment

// create new package collection for specific shipper
$packages = new PackageCollection(Shipper::CP);

// create new package
$package = new Package();
$package->setServiceType(ServiceType::CP_NP);
$package->setRecName('Josef Novák');
$package->setRecZip('11000');
$package->setRecCountry(Country::CZECH_REPUBLIC);
$package->setRecPhone('776555888');
$package->setCodPrice(1399.00);
$package->setCodCurrency(Currency::CZK);

// add package to collection
$packages->add($package);

// upload packages to balikobot
$orderedPackages = $balikobot->addPackages($packages);

// save package IDs
$data             = [];
$data['packages'] = $orderedPackages->getPackageIds();

// save track URL for each package
foreach($orderedPackages as $orderedPackage) {
  $data['trackUrl'][] = $orderedPackage->getTrackUrl();
}

// order shipment for packages
$orderedShipment = $balikobot->orderShipment($orderedPackages);

// save order ID and labels URL
$data['orderId']     = $orderedShipment->getOrderId();
$data['labelsUrl']   = $orderedShipment->getLabelsUrl();
$data['handoverUrl'] = $orderedShipment->getHandoverUrl();

/*
var_dump($data);
[
  'packages'    => [
    0 => 42719
    1 => 42720
  ]
  'trackUrl'    => [

]
*/

Test packages data / delete packages

// check if packages data is valid
try {
    $balikobot->checkPackages($packages);
} catch (ExceptionInterface $exception) {
    return $exception->getErrors();
}

// drop packages if shipment is not ordered yet
$balikobot->dropPackages($orderedPackages);

Track packages

// track last package status
$status = $balikobot->trackPackageLastStatus($orderedPackages[0]);
/*
var_dump($status);
Inspirum\Balikobot\Model\Values\PackageStatus {
  'date'        => DateTime { '2018-07-02 09:15:01.000000' }
  'id'          => 2.2
  'name'        => 'Zásilka byla doručena příjemci.'
  'description' => 'Dodání zásilky. (77072 - Depo Olomouc 72)'
  'type'        => 'event'
}
*/

if (Status::isError($status->getId())) {
  // handle package delivery error
}

if ($status->getId() === Status::COD_PAID) {
  // CoD has been credited to the sender's account
}

if (Status::isDelivered($status->getId())) {
  // handle delivered package 
}

Import branches

// get only branches for Zasilkovna in CZ/SK
$branches = $balikobot->getBranchesForShipperForCountries(
  Shipper::ZASILKOVNA, 
  [Country::CZECH_REPUBLIC, Country::SLOVAKIA]
);
