If you guys have any feedback or ideas please comment on issue [\#23](https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-php/issues/23). --- Unirest for PHP [![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8757b7b9cc1b5629e42bb2c5ce358113a9e16979bc930b04dde687b501b4be57/68747470733a2f2f6170692e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f4d6173686170652f756e69726573742d7068702e706e67)](https://travis-ci.org/Mashape/unirest-php) ==================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== [](#unirest-for-php-) Unirest is a set of lightweight HTTP libraries available in multiple languages, ideal for most applications: - Make `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` requests - It supports form parameters, file uploads and custom body entities - Supports gzip - Supports Basic Authentication natively - Customizable timeout - Customizable default headers for every request (DRY) - Automatic JSON parsing into a native object for JSON responses Created with love by [thefosk](https://github.com/thefosk) @ [mashape.com](https://mashape.com) ### Install with Composer [](#install-with-composer) If you're using [Composer](https://github.com/composer/composer) to manage dependencies, you can add Unirest with it. ``` { "require" : { "mashape/unirest-php" : "dev-master" }, "autoload": { "psr-0": {"Unirest": "lib/"} } } ``` ### Install source from GitHub [](#install-source-from-github) Unirest-PHP requires PHP `v5.3+`. Download the PHP library from Github, and require in your script like so: To install the source code: ``` $ git clone git@github.com:Mashape/unirest-php.git ``` And include it in your scripts: ``` require_once '/path/to/unirest-php/lib/Unirest.php'; ``` Creating Request ---------------- [](#creating-request) So you're probably wondering how using Unirest makes creating requests in PHP easier, let's look at a working example: ``` $response = Unirest::post("http://httpbin.org/post", array( "Accept" => "application/json" ), array( "parameter" => 23, "foo" => "bar" ) ); $response->code; // HTTP Status code $response->headers; // Headers $response->body; // Parsed body $response->raw_body; // Unparsed body ``` ### File Uploads [](#file-uploads) To upload files in a multipart form representation use the return value of `Unirest::file($path)` as the value of a parameter: ``` $response = Unirest::post("http://httpbin.org/post", array( "Accept" => "application/json" ), array( "file" => Unirest::file("/tmp/file.txt") // Tells Unirest where the file is located ) ); ``` ### Custom Entity Body [](#custom-entity-body) Sending a custom body such as a JSON Object rather than a string or form style parameters we utilize json\_encode for the body: ``` $response = Unirest::post("http://httpbin.org/post", array( "Accept" => "application/json" ), json_encode( array( "parameter" => "value", "foo" => "bar" ) ) ); ``` ### Basic Authentication [](#basic-authentication) Authenticating the request with basic authentication can be done by providing the `username` and `password` arguments: ``` $response = Unirest::get("http://httpbin.org/get", null, null, "username", "password"); ``` Request ======= [](#request) ``` Unirest::get($url, $headers = array(), $parameters = NULL, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) Unirest::post($url, $headers = array(), $body = NULL, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) Unirest::put($url, $headers = array(), $body = NULL, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) Unirest::patch($url, $headers = array(), $body = NULL, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) Unirest::delete($url, $headers = array(), $body = NULL, $username = NULL, $password = NULL) ``` - `url` - Endpoint, address, or uri to be acted upon and requested information from. - `headers` - Request Headers as associative array or object - `body` - Request Body as associative array or object - `username` - Basic Authentication username - `password` - Basic Authentication password Response ======== [](#response) Upon recieving a response Unirest returns the result in the form of an Object, this object should always have the same keys for each language regarding to the response details. - `code` - HTTP Response Status Code (Example `200`) - `headers` - HTTP Response Headers - `body` - Parsed response body where applicable, for example JSON responses are parsed to Objects / Associative Arrays. - `raw_body` - Un-parsed response body Advanced Configuration ====================== [](#advanced-configuration) You can set some advanced configuration to tune Unirest-PHP: ### Timeout [](#timeout) You can set a custom timeout value (in **seconds**): ``` Unirest::timeout(5); // 5s timeout ``` ### Default Request Headers [](#default-request-headers) You can set default headers that will be sent on every request: ``` Unirest::defaultHeader("Header1", "Value1"); Unirest::defaultHeader("Header2", "Value2"); ``` You can clear the default headers anytime with: ``` Unirest::clearDefaultHeaders(); ``` ### SSL validation [](#ssl-validation) You can explicitly enable or disable SSL certificate validation when consuming an SSL protected endpoint: ``` Unirest::verifyPeer(false); // Disables SSL cert validation ``` By default is `true`. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 40% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity13 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity49 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 67% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
