### Create a client

[](#create-a-client)

You'll need to begin by creating a client for the API you wish to use, as well as specify the API key you wish to use.

We do this by first creating an HTTP client respecting the [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) standard.

The `\Http\Discovery\Psr18ClientDiscovery` class will automatically discover an PSR-18 HTTP client from the installed composer packages, meaning you'll need an HTTP client installed which implements PSR-18 if you don't already.

A common HTTP client which does is [Guzzle](https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/), we can install this by running `composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:^7.0`.

The example below creates a client for the **Live** API by setting a base URI using the `\Http\Client\Common\Plugin\BaseUriPlugin` plugin. If you wish to use the **Sandbox** API, you can change the base URI from `https://alsoaskedapi.com/v1` to `https://sandbox.alsoaskedapi.com/v1`.

You'll need to change the API specified in the `\AlsoAsked\Api\Authentication\ApiKeyAuthentication` plugin from `your-api-key` to the API key you've created. If you don't have an API key, follow the [authentication guide](https://developers.alsoasked.com/docs/also-asked/j389o9lgezike-authentication).
