API Setup - VESSOT

Installation

DESIGN: Built for security + ease of use. Minimal technical setup required.

Once you've created your integration token (covered here) include our composer library in your project (repository: github.com/VESSOT/crypt):

COMMAND

composer require vessot/crypt

Environment Configuration

Configure your integration token as an environment variable, for instance:

NGINX

fastcgi_param VESSOT_INT_TOKEN "your_token_value";

APACHE

SetEnv VESSOT_INT_TOKEN "your_token_value"

LARAVEL

VESSOT_INT_TOKEN=your_token_value

Integration

Include the VESSOT class in your application:

PHP INTEGRATION


                            <?php

                            ...

                            use Vessot\Service\Data as VessotData;

                            ...

                            public function __construct(

                                protected VessotData $vessotData

                            ) { }

                            ...

                            ?>

Encryption Key Generation

Generate your encryption key:

KEY-GEN

$key = $this->vessotData->cryptKeyGenerate();

CRITICAL: Store encryption key securely.

WARNING: Key loss = data loss. We store no plaintext or keys.

INFO: cryptKeyGenerate() checks environment first. Returns empty if key exists.

Key Storage Configuration

Configure your encryption key token as an environment variable, for instance:

NGINX

fastcgi_param VESSOT_CRYPT_KEY "your_encryption_key";

APACHE

SetEnv VESSOT_CRYPT_KEY "your_encryption_key"

LARAVEL

VESSOT_CRYPT_KEY=your_token_value

API Operations

Execute CRUD operations against your encrypted data:

READ

$result = $this->vessotData->show($key);

CREATE

$result = $this->vessotData->store($key, $value);

UPDATE

$result = $this->vessotData->update($key, $value);

DELETE

$result = $this->vessotData->destroy($key);

Advanced operations for complex data management scenarios:

[NESTED-ATTR] Nested Attribute Operations

Work with complex nested data structures using dot notation paths for precise data manipulation.
