Cryptowatch HTTP API client
===========================

[](#cryptowatch-http-api-client)

A rough implementation of the Cryptowatch HTTP API

Installation
============

[](#installation)

This package can be installed using composer

```
composer require djansen20/cryptowatch-http-api:^1.0
```

Or add the following directly into your composer.json

```
{
    "require": {
        "djansen20/cryptowatch-http-api": "^1.0"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In order to use this library, include the following namespace into you project

```
use Cryptowatch\CryptowatchHttpApi
```

All methods will return a response object that can be convertd to json or to a usable array

```
# To get data as array
$array = $response->asArray();

# Get data as json
$json = $response->jsonSerialize();
```

### Rate limiting

[](#rate-limiting)

Cryptowatch gives each client 8 seconds of CPU time per hour. Currently this client does not read this limit or does anything with it. If you get a response with status code 429 it means the request limit has been reached. The library will probably crap out earlier though.

### Methods

[](#methods)

All methods are called statically so there is no need to create an object. Currently there are 5 possible static methods.

### getAssets

[](#getassets)

An asset can be a crypto or fiat currency

Example request

```
$asset = 'neo';
$responseObject = CryptowatchHttpApi::getAssets($asset);
$data = $responseObject->asArray();
```

Example response

```
array(2) {
  ["result"]=>
  array(5) {
    ["id"]=>
    int(66)
    ["symbol"]=>
    string(3) "neo"
    ["name"]=>
    string(3) "NEO"
    ["fiat"]=>
    bool(false)
