curly
=====

[](#curly)

A tiny experimental curl client built for Minicli (but can be also used standalone).

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

[](#requirements)

Requires `curl` and `php-curl`.

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

[](#installation)

To include Curly in your app, first require the dependency with Composer:

```
composer require minicli/curly
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the `Minicli/Curl/Client` class to make GET and POST requests using the `get()` and `post()` methods, respectively.

This example queries the DEV API and gets the latest posts from a user:

```
$crawler = new Client();

$articles_response = $crawler->get('https://dev.to/api/articles?username=erikaheidi');

if ($articles_response['code'] !== 200) {
    $app->getPrinter->error('Error while contacting the dev.to API.');
    return 1;
}

$articles = json_decode($articles_response['body'], true);
print_r($articles);
```

The following single-command Minicli application will fetch a user's latest stats from DEV.to using Curly (this requires `minicli/minicli`):

```
