API Cache Library
=================

[](#api-cache-library)

A Laravel-based PHP library for caching API responses from various services (OpenAI, DataForSEO, Pixabay, YouTube, and more). Provides intelligent caching, rate limiting, compression, and response management through a unified interface.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- **PHP 8.3+**
- **Laravel 11.38+**
- **Redis** (for distributed rate limiting)

Development Setup
-----------------

[](#development-setup)

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

```
composer install
```

3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
4. For testing the demo API:

```
php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -t public
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- API response caching
- Rate limiting with Redis
- Compression support
- Multiple API client support

Caching Control
---------------

[](#caching-control)

The `sendCachedRequest()` method respects the caching settings of the API client. You can control caching behavior using:

```
// Create a new client instance
$client = new ScraperApiClient();

// Disable caching for a specific request
$client->setUseCache(false);

// Check current caching status
$isCachingEnabled = $client->getUseCache();
echo 'Is caching enabled: ' . ($isCachingEnabled ? 'true' : 'false') . PHP_EOL;

$response = $client->scrape('https://httpbin.org/headers');
echo format_api_response($response, true);

// Re-enable caching
$client->setUseCache(true);
```

Rate Limiting
-------------

[](#rate-limiting)

Redis-based distributed rate limiting is implemented to ensure consitent rate limiting across multiple application instances.

See [Rate Limiting Documentation](docs/rate-limiting.md) for details.

Database Migrations
-------------------

[](#database-migrations)

This library takes an unconventional approach to database migrations in order to follow the DRY principle and simplify maintenance across multiple clients, while maintaining consistency between tables.

For more details, see [Database Migrations Documentation](docs/database-migrations.md).

Laravel Integration
-------------------

[](#laravel-integration)

To use this library in a full Laravel project, see the [Laravel Integration Guide](docs/laravel-integration.md) for step-by-step setup instructions including installation, configuration, and usage examples.
