Integration

PHP backend integration.

Use this general server-side example as the starting point for jobs, articles, products, listings, events, announcements, or custom content.

PHP

How this integration works

Use this in Laravel or a PHP backend service class.

Keep your zedgad API key on the server. The integration sends a title, summary, public URL, optional image URL, and any useful metadata to the project webhook.

Place the service somewhere like app/Services/ZedgadService.php.
Store ZEDGAD_API_KEY in your backend .env file.
Call the service after the post, product, listing, or article becomes public.

PHP

Create app/Services/ZedgadService.php

Replace the sample content fields with your own model fields. The important part is that zedgad receives a stable ID, content type, title, summary, public URL, optional image URL, and any metadata you want to keep with the post.

    public function sendContent($content): array

        $response = Http::withToken(env('ZEDGAD_API_KEY'))

                'metadata' => [
                    'source' => $content->source ?? 'website',
                    'category' => $content->category,
                ],
            ]);

        $response->throw();

        return $response->json();
    }
