Any PHP based framework for building APIs?

[Xolocode]

Hi,

I'm just starting in the API world, I'm using PHP as my server language, and would really appreciate if you could recommend any PHP based framework for building APIs, if you have already used any.

Thanks,

José Ríos.

Here is a round-up I did a while back - http://blog.programmableweb.com/2011/09/23/short-list-of-restful-api-frameworks-for-php/

Unfortunately I don't have more details on the pros and cons each one.

One that i am using is Restler ( http://luracast.com/products/restler/ )
Got good contact with the developer and he's very busy creating
version 3 of the framework which will have some nice features.

Cheers.

http://symfony.com/

is also a viable platform for RESTful apis.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, I'll give a try to Restler, Tonic and Slim.

I am working on one myself called Bullet ( https://github.com/vlucas/bulletphp ) that takes a bit of a unique functional-style approach to URL routing. You may want to check it out.

I also have an example Hypermedia app that I created with it you might want to look at: https://github.com/vlucas/brightbudget-web

Slim is a great start. Well documented and lightweight out of the box. http://slimframework.com/

I would also recommend Zend, it has a great implementation for REST http://framework.zend.com/.

Thanks

Use "Apify" https://github.com/apify/apify-library. it is awesome in building REST API.

I've put together a quick list of frameworks with a poll while looking for one that would suit my future implementations. One of my considerations was Slim because of its simplicity and lightweight but ended up using Laravel because it's still not too heavy like many other more estabilished / popular frameworks e.g. Symphony, CakePHP, Zend etc. Laravel also has many features out of the box that needed which whereas Slim required setting up modules e.g. for user authentication:
