SimpleAPI for Laravel 4 and 5
=============================

[](#simpleapi-for-laravel-4-and-5)

A simple api wrapper with quick and easy caching and throttling.

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

To configure a new api key you must register it in the .env where in the example `EXAMPLE_KEY` is the key.

```
# Required
EXAMPLE_KEY_API_URL=http://api.example.com/

# Optional
EXAMPLE_KEY_API_THROTTLE_LIMIT=100
EXAMPLE_KEY_API_STORAGE_TIME=1440
EXAMPLE_KEY_API_CACHE_TIME=60
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Example to resolve

```
$api = new SimpleAPI\RegisterAPI('example_key');

$query = [
	'foo' => 'bar'
];

$result = $api->action('baz')->lookup($query);
```

This library works by throwing exceptions which you would need to catch.

- Invalid configuration `ConfigException`
- Throlled API `ThrottleException`
