TwitchTV SDK for PHP
====================

[](#twitchtv-sdk-for-php)

> UNMAINTAINED!!! I have no project to build SDK for or test on, so i abandoned this project. I'm sorry for that and i hope someone kind will continue with developing. Maybe another SDK's are around, so try search GitHub for alternative.

> This is unofficial [TwitchTV SDK for PHP](https://github.com/jofner/Twitch-SDK) formerly known as ritero/twitch-sdk

WARNING BEFORE UPDATING TO 2.\* !!!
-----------------------------------

[](#warning-before-updating-to-2-)

Version 2.\* changed namespace! I know it's not best practice and i'm really sorry, but i have my reasons for that. Thanks for understanding. Version 2.\* has BC breaks and lot of changes. Be careful with updating! Before updating thoroughly examine the changes and adjust your application for modified functions.
