webz.io client for PHP
======================

[](#webzio-client-for-php)

A simple way to access the [Webz.io](https://webz.io) API from your PHP code:

```
// API Key from: https://webz.io/dashboard
Webz::config("API_KEY");

//Perform a "filterWebContent" query using "United States" as our keywords.
$params = array("q"=>"United States", "size"=>"3");
$result = Webz::query("filterWebContent", $params);

//Fetch the next results using the same terms.
$result = Webz::get_next();
```

API Key
-------

[](#api-key)

To make use of the webz.io API, you'll need an API key.

To get one, sign up at:

And your key will be available here:

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To get started, you'll need to import the class and configure it with your API key:

```
require_once('webz.php');

// API Key from: https://webz.io/dashboard
Webz::config("API_KEY");
```

**API Endpoints**

The first parameter the query() function accepts is the API endpoint string. Available endpoints:

- filterWebContent - access to the news/blogs/forums/reviews API
- productFilter - access to data about eCommerce products/services
- darkFilter - access to the dark web (coming soon)

Now you can make a request and inspect the results:

```
//Helper method to print result:
function print_filterwebdata_titles($api_response)
{
    if($api_response == null)
    {
        echo "Response is null, no action taken.";
        return;
    }
    if(isset($api_response->posts))
        foreach($api_response->posts as $post)
        {
            echo "" . $post->title . "";
        }
}

//Perform a "filterWebContent" query using "United States" as our keywords.
$params = array("q"=>"United States", "size"=>"3");
$result = Webz::query("filterWebContent", $params);
print_filterwebdata_titles($result);
```

You can traverse the structure as you would any PHP array:

```
//Print more detailed information about the article:

$params = array("q"=>"United States", "size"=>"1");
$result = Webz::query("filterWebContent", $params);

foreach($result->posts as $post)
{
    echo "Site: " . $post->thread->site . "";
    echo "Categories:";
    echo "";
    foreach($post->thread->site_categories as $category) {
        echo "" . $category . "";
    }
    echo "";
}
```

Depending on the endpoint used, the resulting JSON array could provide "posts", "products", ... You can view the JSON in the browser to get a clearer picture of the return data. In order to view the data in the browser, we can enable a debug flag to expose the URL fed to cURL:

```
//If true, echoes the parameterised Webz API URL before executing request.
Webz::enable_debug(true);
```

Full documentation

Polling
-------

[](#polling)

It is possible to continue a search to fetch more results using the same parameters:

```
//Perform a "productFilter" query using "United Kingdom" as our keywords.
$params = array("q"=>"United Kingdom", "size"=>"1");
$result = Webz::query("productFilter", $params);
print_productsearch_titles($result);

//Fetch the next results using the same terms.
$result = Webz::get_next();
print_productsearch_titles($result);

$result = Webz::get_next();
print_productsearch_titles($result);

//...
//When $result is null, there are no more results available.
```
