New API Client (Recommended)
============================

[](#new-api-client-recommended)

`bitmovin-php` is the legacy Bitmovin API client for PHP.

We recommend using the new client, which you can find at [bitmovin-api-sdk-php](https://github.com/bitmovin/bitmovin-api-sdk-php). Using the new client guarantees 100% specification conformity at any given time and access to all features of the API as soon as they are released.
