TO do this in a proper way, you have to declare you api class as a service & use dependancy injection to inject your parameters :

parameters:
    your_api.class:      Acme\HelloBundle\Lib\YourApiClass
    your_api.key:        "key value for your api"
    your_api.token:      "token value for your api"

services:
   yourApiService:
       class:        "%your_api.class%"
       arguments:    ["%your_api.key%", "%your_api.token%"]

And in your controller & many other places you'll have access like that :

$api = $this->get('yourApiService');

Take a look for more informations : http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/service_container.html

thanks for reply. did you checked this repo. It's not a normal bundle. So I am not getting how to declare the services. how I need to alter the package, can you add some more notes

Fabien MEYNARD Over a year ago

You can include this repo with your composer.json file by adding this line : rootaccez/odeskapi to requirements. After run a composer update & declare the api class as a service. Composer is the packager manager used by symfony ;) getcomposer.org

Fabien, I think your not getting. I created that package. I know how to install. Where can I add the service in that package. I think this service noramlly come in example:-AcmeHelloBundle/Resources/config/services.yml right. How can i add that in that package

If your package is not a bundle, you can't declare your lib a service. The application which include this package have to do that.

you can use it as a service: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/service_container.html when i try to implement an extern api, i think about adapter pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_pattern

can you elaborate if you can. I have some understand with services. But did you checked the repo that i linked in question. Do you i need to create the bundle.

Whitout create the bundle you can use it. A service is a simple object who you can find any where in you applivatoom
