This package enables you to query Google's SafeBrowsing service to determine if a URL exists in their database.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Composer

```
$ composer require ampersa/safebrowsing

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use of the Google SafeBrowsing API (v4) requires a valid API key. Details can be found at

**Basic usage**

```
use Ampersa\SafeBrowsing\SafeBrowsing;
...

$safebrowsing = new SafeBrowsing(API_KEY);
$result = $safebrowsing->listed('http://ianfette.org');
// Returns: (bool) true
```

The listed() function accepts a second boolen argument, which when `true` returns the threat type as reported by SafeBrowsing

```
$safebrowsing = new SafeBrowsing(API_KEY);
$result = $safebrowsing->listed('http://ianfette.org', true);
// Returns: (string) MALWARE
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

To run the unit tests within this package, you will need to edit the tests/SafeBrowsingTest.php file and enter a functional SafeBrowsing API key
