Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```

// Get your API key from the Google Cloud Platform site.
$gcv->setKey("[Key from Google]");

// An image can be set from either a filename or URL (the default), raw data, or a Google Cloud Storage item:
$gcv->setImage("local/filesystem/file.png");
$gcv->setImage("https://example.org/url/to/file.png");
$gcv->setImage(file_get_contents('local/file.png'), GoogleCloudVision::IMAGE_TYPE_RAW);
$gcv->setImage("gs://bucket_name/object_name", GoogleCloudVision::IMAGE_TYPE_GCS);

// Set which features you want to retrieve:
