Yii2-xmlsoccer
==============

[](#yii2-xmlsoccer)

Yii2 client for [Football API](http://football-api.com) API

Full API Documentation here:

Requirements:
=============

[](#requirements)

PHP5 with CURL. SimpleXML extensions only needed if XML is chosen as output.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
composer require --prefer-dist drsdre/yii2-footballapi "*"

```

or add

```
"drsdre/yii2-footballapi": "*"
```

to the `require` section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can either setup the client as an application component:

```
'components' => [
    'footballapiApi' => [
        'class' => '\FootballAPI\Client',
        'api_key' => 'xxx',
    ]
    ...
]
```

or use the client directly in your code:

```
$client = new \FootballAPI\Client([
    'api_key' => 'xxx',
]);
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The output format of the the API calls can be changed by adding a output type parameter:

```
'components' => [
    'footballApi' => [
        'class' => '\FootballAPI\Client',
        'api_key' => 'xxx',
        'output_type' => 'PHP',
    ]
    ...
]
```

Default value: JSON. Options include: XML, JSON, PHPARRAY, PHPOBJECT, LINE, CONSOLE, VAR.

Optionally a cache component can be added for example to keep the client returning data during a time-out:

```
'components' => [
    'footballApiCache' => [
        'class' => 'yii\caching\FileCache',
    ],
    'footballApi' => [
        'class' => '\FootballAPI\Client',
        'api_key' => 'xxx',
        'cache' => 'footballApiCache',
    ]
    ...
]
```

To facilitate a check to detect data changes, a content hash can be generated by setting the parameter 'generate\_hash' to true (currently only supported in XML, PHPARRAY & PHPOBJECT output type). The output will then include two new attributes:

- contentHash: MD5 hash
- sourceURL: URL used to retrieve the data

If you need to have the API be executed via a specific network adapter it's possible the specify the outgoing IP:

```
$client = new \FootballAPI\Client([
    'api_key' => 'xxx',
    'service_ip' => '192.168.1.1',
]);
```

How to use API:
===============

[](#how-to-use-api)

Go to [Sign up for Free](http://football-api.com/account/membership-checkout/?level=4) and retrieve the API key for access to the football-api.com API.

Methods Available
-----------------

[](#methods-available)

Go to  for more info about methods and parameters including online testing.

Examples:
=========

[](#examples)

List competitions
-----------------

[](#list-competitions)

```
try {
	$client = new \FootballAPI\Client([
        'api_key' => 'xxx',
    ]);
	$competitions=json_decode($soccer->competitions());
	echo "Competitions List:";
	foreach($competitions as $competition){
		echo "".$competition->name." ".$competition->region."";
	}
}
catch(Exception $e) {
	echo "FootballAPI Exception: ".$e->getMessage();
}

```

If your server has multiple IP's available, you can set any IP for request:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#if-your-server-has-multiple-ips-available-you-can-set-any-ip-for-request)

```
try {
	$client = new \FootballAPI\Client([
        'api_key' => 'xxx',
    ]);
	$soccer->setRequestIp("ip_for_request");
	$result=json_decode($soccer->standings(["comp_id"=>1064]));
	var_dump($result);
}
catch(Exception $e) {
	echo "FootballAPI: ".$e->getMessage();
}

```

That's all!
