Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Implementing the NewsAPI within your PHP application has never been smoother. The principle behind its design is simplicity without forfeiting power or flexibility.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Add it to your project via Composer.

```
composer require gfargo/newsapi
```

### Dependencies

[](#dependencies)

This wrapper utilizes the [Requests](https://github.com/rmccue/requests) library from Ryan McCue.

> Official website & documentation can be found [here](http://requests.ryanmccue.info/).

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Once included in your project, setup should be very straightforward. Only requirement is a valid API key provided by [NewsAPI.org](NewsAPI.org/account/).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Step 1. Set Access Token

[](#step-1-set-access-token)

```
\NewsAPI\Client::setAccessToken('276537c6a3824cdd9eae393c024ff732');
```

### Step 2. Setup Query

[](#step-2-setup-query)

Making requests to the API is done via `query` method, which accepts three parameters. Below are a few examples.

**`Query` parameters:**

- `(string) $endpoint` Target endpoint. Options are `top`, `everything`, and `sources`.
- `(array) $query_params` Query parameters passed to NewsAPI.org
- `(array) $request_options` Options passed to Requests library to control CURL.

**Examples:**

```
// All articles featuring the keyword 'Open Source'
$request = NewsAPI\Client::query( 'everything', [ 'q' => 'Open Source' ] );
```

```
// Top headlines for articles featuring the keyword 'Technology'
$request = NewsAPI\Client::query( 'top', [ 'q' => 'Technology' ] );
```

```
// Top articles from 'Business' category
$request = NewsAPI\Client::query( 'top', [ 'category' => 'business' ] );
```

### Step 3. Handling Responses

[](#step-3-handling-responses)

Each query returns a `Request_Response` object, more on this [here](http://requests.ryanmccue.info/api/class-Requests_Response.html).

In short the `Requests` library makes dealing with the API responses much easier.

```
$request = NewsAPI\Client::query( 'top', [ 'category' => 'business' ] );

$request->status_code             // int(200)
$request->headers['content-type'] // string(31) "application/json; charset=utf-8"
$request->url                     // string(54) "https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?category=business"
$request->body                    // string(14385) "{...}"
```
