# OMDbAPI
PHP class to communicate with OMDbAPI.com API by Brian Fritz

## How to Use

Include the file

```
composer require aharen/omdbapi

```

Or update your composer.json file accordingly

```
require {
"aharen/omdbapi" : "2.0.*"
}

```

### Initiating

Since the API will be going private ([read about it](https://www.patreon.com/posts/api-is-going-10743518)) & would be requiring the API key, a small change has been made to how the API will be initiated and how the Poster API will be used.

```php
use aharen\OMDbAPI();

$omdb = new OMDbAPI($api_key, $image_host, $assoc);

```

The first parameter will be the API Key, the secound is the host to use (false = omdbapi, true = poster api, false by default) & third is assoc (true = assoc on, false = assoc off, false by default)

### Search OMDb API

Requires search keyword and accepts type (movie, series or episode) & year

```php
use aharen\OMDbAPI;

$omdb = new OMDbAPI();

$omdb->search($keyword, $type, $year);

```

Example usage

```php
$omdb->search('spider');

```

Output

```php
stdClass Object

[data] => stdClass Object
(

Usage examples

```php
// search for all 'series' that contain 'spider' in the title
$omdb->search('spider', 'series');

// search for all 'series' that contain 'spider' in the title and is from '2014'
$omdb->search('spider', 'series', '2014');

```
### Associative mode

You can also use this library in associative mode, resulting in arrays instead of stdClass
instances, passing the second constructor argument to true:

```
// Associative mode (results will be associative arrays)
$omdb = new OMDbAPI(null, true);
```

### Fetch movie details

Fetch details of a movie, series or episode. details can be fetched by either IMDB ID or the Title

Usage example

```php
// get details for IMDB ID 'tt0338013'
$omdb->fetch('i', 'tt0338013');

// get details for title 'eternal sunshine'
$omdb->fetch('t', 'eternal sunshine');
```

Output for both of the above queires

```php

### Fetching episodes details

You can also use the `fetch` third parameter to add extra parameters, for instance:

```php
// Dexter (TV show)
$omdb->fetch('i', 'tt0773262', ['Season' => 1])
```

This will add the `Season=1` parameter
