**Deprecated** This library was implemented to work with the TVDB API V1.

It is now deprecated so I suggest you to find another library that implements the new API like

Based on the well known php library phptvdb (available on ), this version has been completely refactored to offer more features from the tvdb api (available on [http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php/Programmers\_API](http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php/Programmers_API)) by using PHP 5.3 namespaces, very useful to import in a bigger project like Symfony 2 for example.

What does it do:
----------------

[](#what-does-it-do)

The Client implements almost all api functions from thetvdb excepted the download in ZIP format

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

```
use Moinax\TvDb\Client;
$apiKey = 'YOURAPIKEY';

$tvdb = new Client("http://thetvdb.com", $apiKey);
$tvdb->getSerie(75710);
```

Cache usage:
------------

[](#cache-usage)

To save bandwidth, reduce latency, or both of two, you can use a Http Client with caching features. The HTTP client use the If-Modified-Since header to fetch full content only if resource was modified. This saves bandwidth. The HTTP client also use a time to live parameter to completly avoid making request if resource was fresh enough. This reduce latency.
