Akismet
=======

[](#akismet)

PHP client for the [Akismet API](https://akismet.com/development/). [Akismet terms of use](https://akismet.com/tos/) apply to usage of this library.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require fyrts/akismet`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Akismet\Akismet;
use Akismet\Comment;

// Instantiate API client with your API key and website root URL
$akismet = new Akismet('api-key', 'https://www.example.org');

// Define content to check for spam
$comment = new Comment();
$comment->setAuthor('Author Name')
        ->setAuthorEmail('author@example.org')
        ->setContent('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.');

// Optionally include additional environment variables for more accurate result
$comment->includeServerVariables();

// Check for spam
$result = $akismet->check($comment);

if ($result->isSpam) {
    echo 'Comment is spam';
}
if ($result->isDiscardable) {
    echo 'Comment is safe to discard';
}
```

It's possible to set Akismet parameters directly if preferred. A list of parameters is available at [the official API documentation](https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check).

```
$comment = new Comment([
    'comment_author' => 'Author Name',
    'comment_author_email' => 'author@example.org',
    'comment_content' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.',
]);
$comment->includeServerVariables();
```

If you'd like to provide all parameters by hand, you can just pass the array to the client directly.

```
$result = $akismet->check([
    'comment_author' => 'Author Name',
    'comment_author_email' => 'author@example.org',
    'comment_content' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.',
]);
```

### Setting global parameters

[](#setting-global-parameters)

For checking multiple comments, it's possible to set global language, charset and environment parameters for all requests.

```
$akismet->setLanguage('en');
$akismet->setCharset('UTF-8');
$akismet->includeServerVariables();

$result = $akismet->check($comment);
