==============

[](#twitch-api-php)

A Twitch API client for PHP.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/31f0013fbe2b4933ae5502d8a429a702b76eca980b8038be1518c44b9cc94e23/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6e69636b6c6177352f7477697463682d6170692d7068702e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/nicklaw5/twitch-api-php)

Supported APIs
--------------

[](#supported-apis)

This library aims to support `v3`, `v4` and `v5` of the Twitch API until each one becomes [deprecated](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs#which-api-version-can-you-use). If an API version is not specified, `v5` will be used as the default.

Features Completed
------------------

[](#features-completed)

**Main API Endpoints:**

- Authentication
- Bits
- Channel Feed
- Channels
- Chat

- Communities
- Games

- Users
- Videos

Any endpoints missing? Open an [issue here](https://github.com/nicklaw5/twitch-api-php/issues).

**Other Features:**

- IRC Client
- Pub/Sub (ie. Bits & Whispers)
- Video Upload

**Additional Integrations:**

- [StreamsLabs:](https://twitchalerts.readme.io/docs/getting-started)
    - Alerts
    - Authentication
    - Donations
    - Users

Basic Example
-------------

[](#basic-example)

```
$options = [
    'client_id' => 'YOUR-CLIENT-ID',
];

$twitchApi = new \TwitchApi\TwitchApi($options);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser(26490481);

// By default API responses are returned as an array, but if you want the raw JSON instead:
$twitchApi->setReturnJson(true);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser(26490481);

// If you want to switch between API versions on the fly:
$twitchApi->setApiVersion(3);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser('summit1g');
```

See the [examples](examples) directory for more common use cases.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.6 or higher is required.

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

[](#installation)

Either pull in the library via composer:

```
$ composer require nicklaw5/twitch-api-php
```

or add the following dependency to your `composer.json` file and run `composer install`:

```
"nicklaw5/twitch-api-php": "0.1.*"
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

All unit tests can be run with the following command:

```
$ vendor/bin/phpunit # or simply "phpunit" if you have it installed globally
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The Twitch API docs can be found [here](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs).

As for the documentation of this library, that is still on the to-do list. In the meantime, most modern IDEs by default, or through the use of plugins, will provide class property and method auto-completion. Or you can simple look through the [source](src) code.
