any idea how solve issue? in advance help....

you need create service job want. can use service controller , command.

this means controller , console command can both call it, , if need change it, need change in 1 place.

so if service has been registered name 'my_service', controller like;

class getapicontroller extends controller {       public function getapiaction() {           $my_service = $this->get('my_service');           $my_service->download();     } } 

and console command like;

<?php namespace mybundle\command;  use symfony\bundle\frameworkbundle\command\containerawarecommand; use symfony\component\console\input\inputargument; use symfony\component\console\input\inputinterface; use symfony\component\console\input\inputoption; use symfony\component\console\output\outputinterface;  class mycommandcommand extends containerawarecommand  {     ...     protected function execute(inputinterface $input, outputinterface $output)     {           $myservice = $this->getcontainer()->get('my_service');           $my_service->download();     } }
