A PHP api wrapper for the 4chan api.

Please see  for usage rules.

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

Run `composer require backendtea/fourchanapi ^1.0` For information about Composer check out their [website](https://getcomposer.org/)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Get a list off all the Thread #'s of /v/

```
use FourChan\FourChan;

FourChan::board('v')->getThreads();
```

Grab all the images of the first thread we find on /v/

```
use FourChan\FourChan;

$posts = FourChan::board('v')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts();

foreach($posts as $post) {
    if ($post->hasimage() {
        echo $post->getImageUrl();
    }
}
```

Any function related to getting image information throws a ` FourChan\Util\NoImageException` when there is no image. So another way would be:

```
$posts = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts();

foreach($posts as $post) {
    try{
        echo $post->getImageUrl();
    } catch(NoImageException $e) {
        //do nothing
    }
}
```

Get the information of a thread

```
$thread = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0];

// true or false
$thread->isStick();
//true or false
$thread->isClosed();
//true or false
$thread->isArchived();
//Subject or '' if no subject is set.
$thread->getSubject();
//# of OP
$thread->getID();
```

Get the information of a post

```
$post = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts()[0];
//Comment of the post, including escaped html.
$post->getFullComment();
//# of the post
$post->getID();
```

If you need more functionality, either make it yourself and shoot me a PR, or create an issue on [Github](https://github.com/BackEndTea/FourChanApi) and hope me or someone else does it for you.
