Nimiq PHP Client
================

[](#nimiq-php-client)

> PHP implementation of the Nimiq RPC client specs.

This repository is archived: Nimiq PoS has been launched and this RPC client only supports the old PoW RPC specification. As of now, there is no PHP RPC client implementation. Please [contact us](mailto:community@nimiq.com) if you are interested in implementing and supporting the Nimiq ecosystem for PHP.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Send requests to a Nimiq node using a `NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient` object.

```
$config = [
    'scheme' => 'http',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 8648,
    'user' => 'luna',
    'password' => 'moon',
    'timeout' => false,
];

$client = new \NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient($config);
```

Once we have the client, we can start communicating with the Nimiq node. If no `$config` object is given in constructor it will use same defaults as the Nimiq node defaults.

```
$client = new \NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient();

// make rpc call to get the block number
$blockNumber = $client->getBlockNumber();

echo $blockNumber; // displays the block number, for example 748883
```

API

[](#api)

The complete [API documentation](docs) is available in the `/docs` folder.

Check out the [Nimiq RPC specs](https://github.com/nimiq/core-js/wiki/JSON-RPC-API) for behind the scene RPC calls.

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

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install Nimiq PHP Client is with Composer. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs and installs them into your project.

```
# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```

You can add Nimiq PHP Client as a dependency using the composer.phar CLI:

```
php composer.phar require nimiq-community/php-client
```

Alternatively, you can specify it as a dependency in your project's existing composer.json file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "nimiq-community/php-client": "^1.0"
    }
}
```

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

You can find out more on how to install Composer, configure autoloading, and other best-practices for defining dependencies at [getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org).
