#### Set up

[](#set-up)

Using VatsimXML in Laravel is made easy through the use of Service Providers. Add the service provider to your `config/app.php` file:

```
'providers' => array(
    // ...
    'Vatsim\Xml\XmlServiceProvider',
),
```

Followed by the alias:

```
'aliases' => array(
    // ...
    'VatsimXML'       => 'Vatsim\Xml\Facades\Xml',
),
```

#### Configuration file

[](#configuration-file)

You should not need to modify the default configuration file supplied by the package.

### Getting data

[](#getting-data)

This lightweight package only has one main function: getData

If you don't specify a URL to use, you will be given basic user details.

```
VatsimXML::getData(980234)
```

Other possible data requests are as follows.

```
VatsimXML::getData(980234, "idstatusint") // Receive basic data, but with numeric ratings rather than verbose.
VatsimXML::getData(980234, "idstatusprat") // Receive the previous rating, for ADM, SUP or INS accounts.
VatsimXML::getData(980234, "idstatusrat") // Get the number of hours controlled at each rating level.
```
