MediumApi
=========

[](#mediumapi)

A small PHP SDK to interact with Medium's API, both through a 3rd-party API via RapidApi (), and Medium's official REST API (), where the former fills in the gaps of the latter (e.g., allowing a user to obtain their own posts).

At Packagist:

Install using Composer:

```
composer require gsmpopovic/medium-api

```

Setup:

1. Install via Composer.

```
composer require gsmpopovic/medium-api

```

2. Add .env variables:

```
RAPID_API_MEDIUM_API_KEY= xxx
RAPID_API_MEDIUM_API_HOST= xxx
MEDIUM_USER_NAME= xxx

OFFICIAL_MEDIUM_API_ACCESS_TOKEN= xxx
OFFICIAL_MEDIUM_API_VERSION=v1

```

3. Use classes in your code, as per the example files.

---

NB:

To interact with the official API, you must generate an access token.

All credentials should be set as environment variables, but, barring this, can be manually assigned to the client as properties.

Examples of API usage can be found in the src/examples directory, both for the official Medium API, and 3rd party Rapid API.

e.g.,

```
// Official Medium API Use cases

require_once "../MediumApi.php";
require_once "../Env.php";
require_once "../Request.php";

// or, if you're using composer, and have installed this package

require "vendor/autoload.php";

use gsmpopovic\MediumApi\MediumApi;
use gsmpopovic\MediumApi\Env;
use gsmpopovic\MediumApi\Request;

/*
You should only load the .env
if it hasn't already been loaded elsewhere, as in Laravel.
*/
$path = dirname(__DIR__, 1) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ".env";

$env = new Env($path);

$env->load();

$api = new MediumApi(new Request());

$api->getUser();

```
