Details

AMT REST API This package is placed by the author in the public domain. This package is written for php 5.3+. It uses namespaces. It implements the whole of the (usable) Amazon Mechanical Turk API over the Amazon REST interface. The aim has not been to impose an object-oriented view of the Amazon API - whose object decomposition must necessarily depend upon individual applications - but rather to apply a low-level object-oriented approach to its implementation whilst making the best use of the facilities built into PHP. This package divides the AMT API into four main chunks: the core, the qualifications API, the notifications API, and the notification response class. The latter provides the basis for a web service to receive AMT notifications. Many AMT implementations will need only the core. The written documentation has been designed to co-exist with automatically generated documentation using the docblox PEAR package. Instructions on generating the automatic documentation are included in the installation documentation.
