Google APIs PHP Clients
=======================

[](#google-apis-php-clients)

The aim of this project is to create a well structured PHP library for accessing Google APIs available through the [Google APIs console](https://code.google.com/apis/console/).

Currently the library enables you to interact programmatically with the following Google APIs,

- [Google Custom Search API v1](https://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/overview.html)
- [Google Translate API v2](http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html) *(Paid service only as of Dec 1st, 2011)*
- (More coming soon)

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

[](#requirements)

- The library is only supported on PHP 5.3.0 and up.
- It has been assumed an autoloader will be present. If you require one, you can find one [here](http://groups.google.com/group/php-standards/web/psr-0-final-proposal).
- Each API requires an API key, which you can get from the [Google APIs console](https://code.google.com/apis/console/).

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

[](#installation)

Simply download the library and add the `src` folder to your project.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**Note:** More extensive documentation will be made available at a later date.

### Custom Search API

[](#custom-search-api)

**Note:** As well as an API key, the [Google Custom Search API v1](https://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/overview.html) also requires either a [Google Custom Search](http://www.google.com/cse/) ID or specification URL.

The following makes a simple [Google Custom Search API v1](https://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/overview.html) request,

```
$apiClient = new \Google\Api\CustomSearch();
$apiClient->setApiKey('INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE');
$apiClient->setCustomSearchEngineId('INSERT_YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID_HERE');
$apiClient->setQuery('flowers');

$response = $apiClient->executeRequest();

```

To get the results from the `$response`,

```
if ($response->isSuccess())
{
    foreach($response->getData()->getItems() as $item)
    {
        echo $item->getHtmlTitle(), ' - ', $item->getDisplayLink(), '';
    }
}

```

### Translate API

[](#translate-api)

The following makes a simple [Google Translate API v2](http://code.google.com/apis/language/translate/overview.html) request,

```
$apiClient = new \Google\Api\Translate();
$apiClient->setApiKey('INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE');
$apiClient->addSourceText('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.');
$apiClient->setTargetLanguage('fr');

$response = $apiClient->executeRequest();

```

To get the translations from the `$response`,

```
if ($response->isSuccess())
{
    foreach($response->getData()->getTranslations() as $translation)
    {
        echo $translation->getTranslatedText(), '';
    }
}

```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

To run the tests, make sure you have PHPUnit 3.6.0 and up installed, and just run the following in the project root,

```
phpunit

```
