Simple Rotten Tomatoes API wrapper for Laravel 5

### Setup

[](#setup)

Require this package in composer.json and run `composer update`

```
"joearcher/tomatoes": "dev-master"
```

After updating add the ServiceProvider the the providers array in `app/config/app.php`

```
'Joearcher\Tomatoes\TomatoesServiceProvider',
```

And then you can add the facade to the Facades array

```
'Tomatoes' =>	'Joearcher\Tomatoes\Facades\Tomatoes',
```

Publish the config

```
artisan vendor:publish
```

This creates a `tomatoes.php` file in `app/config`

Add your api key to `tomatoes.php`

```
'apikey' => ''
```
