We have created a simple PHP client to show one of the many possible ways of using the the ShopStyle API. This sample application contains two files: A reusable PHP class file that invokes various methods of the API, and a simple presentation module to display these results.

You can also download these two sample files here:

Copy these files to your php-enabled webserver's document root and load http://localhost/ShopStyleAPIExample.php in your browser to run the application locally.
