          PHP SDK can be found [here](https://github.com/invoiceninja/sdk-php)
          ### Authentication:

          API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made to HTTP will fail.
          ### Errors:

          Invoice Ninja uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. below is a table of standard status codes and responses

          | Status Code | Explanation                                                                 |
          |-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
          | 200         | OK: The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request. |
          | 301         | Moved Permanently: This and all future requests should be directed to the given URI. |
          | 303         | See Other: The response to the request can be found under another URI using the GET method. |
          | 400         | Bad Request: The server cannot or will not process the request due to an apparent client error. |
          | 401         | Unauthorized: Similar to 403 Forbidden, but specifically for use when authentication is required and has failed or has not yet been provided. |
          | 403         | Forbidden: The request was valid, but the server is refusing action. |
          | 404         | Not Found: The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. |
          | 405         | Method Not Allowed: A request method is not supported for the requested resource. |
          | 409         | Conflict: Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict in the request. |
          | 422         | Unprocessable Entity: The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors. |
          | 429         | Too Many Requests: The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time ("rate limiting"). |
          | 500         | Internal Server Error: A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable. |
          ### Pagination
