GiantBomb.com PHP Api Wrapper
=============================

#### Requirements

* API Key from [GiantBomb][1]
* [Composer][2]

#### Installation

In your project root, run the following:

```sh
composer require giantbomb/giantbomb-php-api dev-master
```

This will create a `vendor` directory (if you dont already have one), and set up the autoloading classmap.

#### Usage

Once everything is installed, you should be able to load the composer autoloader in your code, and go from there!

Here is a very simple example:
```php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use \GiantBomb\Client\GiantBombClient;

$config = array(
'apiKey' => 'your-api-key',
'cache' => array(
'type' => 'redis', // Or memcached
'servers' => array( array( 'host' => 'localhost', 'port' => 6397, 'timeout' => 0 ) ), // weight is also a parameter for memcached
'persistent' => true
)
);
/**
Memcached also has the "options" parameter for specifiying Memcached options (via constants)
Redis also has the "password" parameter for auth, and "dbindex" for specifying your db
*/

$client = GiantBombClient::factory( $config );

$requestArgs = array(
'limit' => 100, // Max of 100,
'offset' => 0, // Default is 0
// 'field_list' => 'name', // Default is not set
// 'sort' => 'name|asc', // Default is not set
// 'filter' => 'name:portal 2', // Default is not set
);

// Depending on the query, there are different options afailable. Check out the [service description][3] for more information.

$response = $client->getGames( $requestArgs );

if( $response->getStatusCode() === 1 ) {
printf( "There are %d total results. Currently showing %d, starting at %d.\n

", $response->getNumberOfTotalResults(), $response->getNumberOfPageResults(), $response->getOffset() );
$games = $response->getResults();
// HUGE dump. Careful
//var_dump( $games );

// Get more info on a single game
$game = $games->get( 0 )->getDetail()->getResults();

// All functions are magic functions based on the camel case of the key from the API result. This goes for anything returned from the API
printf( "Game: %s
", $game->getName() );
} else {
printf( "There was an error: %s", $response->getError() );
}
```
