A library to call archive.org's search API. Please use GitHub to raise any issues and suggest any improvements.

Install
-------

[](#install)

composer require votemike/internetarchiveapi

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a new instance of `Api` passing in a Guzzle Client with the base\_uri set as ''.

```
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://archive.org/']);
$api = new Api($client);

```

For a list of items, call `$api->search()` with your query. For information about the valid query strings, see the [advancedsearch page](https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php)Optional you can page in extra arguments:

- Page - By default this library paginates 50 items at a time. Get additional pages by changing this page.
- Rows - The number of items you would like returned as part of each call
- Fields - By default, all fields are returned. Limit them by passing through an array of fields as mentioned on [advancedsearch page](https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php)
- Sort - Send through an array of sort parameters

If you would like a specific item populated with extra metadata, pass an `Item` object in to `$api->getMetaDataForItem()`.
A second parameter can be added to only return [sub-items](http://blog.archive.org/2013/07/04/metadata-api/) of the metadata
