api\_client
===========

[](#api_client)

Simple PHP API Client using GuzzleHttp 6

### Overview

[](#overview)

A RESTful API in PHP 7 and the new GuzzleHttp 6. This is a conversion of an old project from version 4 of guzzle to the latest version 6 [guzzlehttp/guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/)

Returns an API object of Guzzle. Create a class that understands the API commands for the given API server. Then use this API object to execute get, post, and etc.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Require it in your project

```
php composer.phar require arikin/api_client
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Require the class and initialize it with the API server's base URL and the credentials.

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Arikin\ApiClient;

$client = new ApiClient(array(
    'url' => 'http://api.server.net',
    'user' => 'api_username',
    'pass' => 'secret_password'
 ));

$resp_obj = $client->api->get('/user/list');
$code = $resp_obj->getStatusCode();
$reason = $resp_obj->getReasonPhrase();

$body_string = (string) $resp_obj->getBody();
$data_array = json_decode($body_string,TRUE);
