Blimp
=====

[](#blimp)

Inspired by the `simplon/helium`, this library uses a Guzzle service description for connecting to the Urban Airship API. A light wrapper is placed over this service to make common tasks a bit simpler.

### Setup

[](#setup)

Include the [composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) package:

```
"require": {
   "phindmarsh/blimp": "dev-master"
}
```

### Anything else needed?

[](#anything-else-needed)

You'll need an Urban Airship account, and the Application Key, Secret and Master Secret. (Register [here](https://go.urbanairship.com/accounts/register/))

Usage examples to come.
