This library provides a simple PHP interface to the [Canadian Bitcoin Index API](https://www.cbix.ca/api).

### Installing via Composer

[](#installing-via-composer)

The recommended way to install the library is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

```
# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

# Add Chain-PHP as a dependency
php composer.phar require cbix/cbix-php:dev-master
```

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

### Setup

[](#setup)

Simply call the make method on the Cbix class.

```
$cbix = Cbix::make();

```

### Methods

[](#methods)

All methods of the [CBIX API](https://www.cbix.ca/api) are supported and more will be added when fully supported.

```
$index = $cbix->index();
$history = $cbix->history(['limit=100']);
$convert = $cbix->convert(500, 'CAD', 'BTC');
$news = $cbix->news();
$summary = $cbix->summary();
$orderbook = $cbix->orderbook(['limit=25']);
$volatility = $cbix->volatility(['limit=10']);

```

Exceptions
----------

[](#exceptions)

If there are any issues during the API request a CbixException will be thrown which can be caught and managed according to your application needs.

```
try {
    $index = $cbix->index();
    echo $index->index->value;
} catch (CbixException $e) {
    //There was an error more information in $e->getMessage();
    var_dump($e->getMessage());
}

```

Unit Tests
----------

[](#unit-tests)

This library uses PHPUnit for unit testing. In order to run the unit tests, you'll first need to install the dependencies of the project using Composer: `php composer.phar install --dev`. You can then run the tests using `vendor/bin/phpunit`. The library comes with a set of mocked responses from the CBIX API for running the unit tests.
