    'Netvlies\\Bundle'          => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
    'Buzz'                      => __DIR__.'/../vendor/Buzz/lib',

public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        // ...
        new Netvlies\Bundle\BolOpenApiBundle\NetvliesBolOpenApiBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

netvlies_bol_open_api:
    access_key:         YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
    secret_access_key:  YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Using it

The API is now available as a service from the service container:

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        // ...
        $bolApi = $this->get('netvlies_bol_open_api.api');
        // ...
    }
}

Search for products / categories

The searchresults operation returns product information by supplying keywords or ISBN/EAN. The operation has filtering and paging options.

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        // ...
        $term = 'PHP';
        $options = array(
            // Set your options here
        );
        $bolApi = $this->get('netvlies_bol_open_api.api');
        $searchResult = $bolApi->searchResults($term, $options);
        // ...
    }
}

List products / categories

The listresults operation returns various product lists, based on list type and category. The category is based on the id, which can be obtained by the category list request.

For available list types see the documentation.

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        // ...
        $type = 'toplist_default';
        $categoryIdAndRefinements = '87';
        $options = array(
            // Set your options here
        );
        $bolApi = $this->get('netvlies_bol_open_api.api');
        $listResult = $bolApi->listResults($type, $categoryIdAndRefinements, $options);
        // ...
    }
}

Get product information

The products operation gets detailed information for products.

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        // ...
        $productId = '1002004011800815';
        $bolApi = $this->get('netvlies_bol_open_api.api');
