Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Provides a straight-forward way of using the [Akismet](https://akismet.com) anti-spam service in any-old PHP application.

Installation & Requirements
-------------------------------

[](#installation--requirements)

Requires PHP `~8.0 || ~8.1 || ~8.2`

The library does not include an HTTP client, so if your project does not already have a [PSR-18 HTTP Client](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) installed, you will need to install one in order to use it. There are many [HTTP clients to choose](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-client-implementation) from, for example the popular libraries [Guzzle](https://packagist.org/packages/guzzlehttp/guzzle) or [HttpPlug](https://packagist.org/packages/php-http/curl-client).

The library also requires that you have a [PSR-17 (HTTP Factories) library](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/) installed, again, you can find implementations on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-factory-implementation) and I personally favour [laminas/laminas-diactoros](https://packagist.org/packages/laminas/laminas-diactoros).

```
composer require laminas/laminas-diactoros
composer require php-http/curl-client
composer require gsteel/akismet
```

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

### Construct a client

[](#construct-a-client)

Once you have the requisite HTTP related libraries installed, they *should* become discoverable with the shipped [discovery library](https://github.com/php-http/discovery). Provide an Api key, and the default website address that you will be operating with to the constructor, and you’ll have a ready-to-use client:
