PHP library for the cortical.io API
===================================

[](#php-library-for-the-corticalio-api)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

The official cortical.io PHP library is deprecated and no-longer maintained (). So, since I needed to use the API with a PHP service, I decided to create this library so that others could use it.

    'api_key' => 'MY_API_KEY',
]);

echo "List retinas: \n";
print_r($client->retinas->listRetinas());
echo "\n\n";

echo "Show retina en_associative: \n";
print_r($client->retinas->getRetina('en_associative'));
echo "\n\n";

```

#### Terms

[](#terms)

```
$client = new \Corticalio\Client([
    'api_key' => 'MY_API_KEY',
]);

echo "List terms: \n";
print_r($client->terms->listTerms('en_associative'));
echo "\n\n";

    'api_key' => 'MY_API_KEY',
]);

echo "Compare 2 elements using en_associative: \n";
$element1 = new \Corticalio\Model\ExpressionElement();
$element1->text = 'Manchester City lost the football match';
$element2 = new \Corticalio\Model\ExpressionElement();
$element2->text = 'Manchester United won the football match';
print_r($client->compare->compare('en_associative', $element1, $element2));
echo "\n\n";

echo "Bulk compare element pairs en_associative: \n";
$elementPairs = new \Corticalio\Model\ExpressionElementArray();
$elementPairs->addPair($element1, $element2);
$elementPairs->addPair($element2, $element1);
print_r($client->compare->bulkCompare('en_associative', $elementPairs));
echo "\n\n";

```

### Exceptions

[](#exceptions)

There is a generic `Corticalio\Exception` class that is extended for some specific reasons to use. Anything that does not throw from this base exception will most-likely be coming from a dependency such a Guzzle.
