Edinburgh Festivals Listings API client for PHP
===============================================

[](#edinburgh-festivals-listings-api-client-for-php)

The Edinburgh Festivals Listings API client for PHP makes it easy for developers to access the [Edinburgh Festivals Listings API](https://api.edinburghfestivalcity.com/) in their PHP code.

You can get started quickly by [installing the client through composer](#installing)

[![Build Status](https://github.com/festivalslab/api-client-php/actions/workflows/test.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/festivalslab/api-client-php/actions/workflows/test.yaml)

Quick Examples
--------------

[](#quick-examples)

#### Create a client

[](#create-a-client)

```
// Require the Composer autoloader.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use FestivalsApi\FestivalsApiClientFactory;

// Instantiate a Festivals API Client.
$client = FestivalsApiClientFactory::createWithCredentials('key', 'secret');
```

#### Find some events

[](#find-some-events)

```
use FestivalsApi\FestivalsApiClientException;

try {
    $result = $client->searchEvents(['title' => 'Foo']);
    $events = $result->getEvents();
} catch (FestivalsApiClientException $e){
    echo "There was an error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
```

#### Iterate all results

[](#iterate-all-results)

The API delivers results in pages, by default 25 results at a time, configurable up to 100. Using `FestivalsApi\FestivalsApiEventSearch` will take care for the pagination for you so you can iterate all results for a search query easily.

```
use FestivalsApi\EventSearchIterator;
use FestivalsApi\FestivalsApiClientException;

$search = new EventSearchIterator($client);
$search->setQuery(['festival' => 'jazz']);
try {
    foreach ($search as $event){
        echo $event['title'];
    }
} catch (FestivalsApiClientException $e){
    echo "There was an error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
```
