This is a simple package providing you with all the tools to quickstart development on that Minecraft site you've been craving. Retrieve UUIDs based on usernames or the other way around with a simple and human-readable API.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via [composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require sven/minecraft-php
```

If you're using the [Laravel](http://laravel.com) framework, you can add the `MinecraftServiceProvider` to your `providers` array:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    Sven\Minecraft\MinecraftServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];
```

You may also add the `Minecraft` facade to the `aliases` array to use the facade:

```
// config/app.php
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Minecraft' => Sven\Minecraft\Facades\Minecraft::class,
    ...
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$minecraft = new Sven\Minecraft\Minecraft;

// Build up the user object from a given username.
$minecraft->fromName($username);

// Supply an optional UNIX timestamp to get the user object of the player who
// owned that username at the time.
$minecraft->fromName($username, time() - (365 * 24 * 60 * 60));

// Build up the user object from a given UUID.
$minecraft->fromUuid($uuid);
```

If you specified the alias in `config/app.php`, you can use the facade:

```
Minecraft::fromName($username);

Minecraft::fromUuid($uuid);
```

This always returns you the same object (`Sven\Minecraft\Minecraft`). You may use the `get()` and `only($property)` methods on it to retrieve the data:

```
$minecraft = new Minecraft;
$user = $minecraft->fromName('jeb_');

$user->get()->name;  // jeb_
$user->get()->uuid;  // 853c80ef3c3749fdaa49938b674adae6

$user->only('name'); // jeb_
$user->only('uuid'); // 853c80ef3c3749fdaa49938b674adae6
```

If you want more flexibility, the `->get()` method returns a JSON object of data for your user:

```
$user->get(); // {"name": "jeb_", "uuid": "853c80ef3c3749fdaa49938b674adae6"}
```

Rate limiting
-------------

[](#rate-limiting)

Mojang has some rate limiting in place so you are expected to cache the results. You may send **1 request per minute** to the same resource, and you may request as many unique resources as you'd like. Keep in mind Mojang might change this at any time.
