[](https://packagist.org/packages/sharpapi/laravel-skills-database-api)
Check the details at SharpAPI's [Skills Database API](https://sharpapi.com/en/catalog/utility/skills-database-api) page.
---
## Requirements
- PHP >= 8.1
- Laravel >= 9.0
---
## Installation
Follow these steps to install and set up the SharpAPI Laravel Skills Database API package.
1. Install the package via `composer`:
```bash
composer require sharpapi/laravel-skills-database-api
```
2. Register at [SharpAPI.com](https://sharpapi.com/) to obtain your API key.
3. Set the API key in your `.env` file:
```bash
SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```
4. **[OPTIONAL]** Publish the configuration file:
```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=sharpapi-skills-database-api
```
---
## Key Features
- **Skill Search**: Search for skills by name or keyword.
- **Skill Details**: Get detailed information about specific skills.
---
## Usage
You can inject the `SkillsDatabaseApiService` class to access the skills database functionality.
### Basic Workflow
1. **Search for Skills**: Use `searchSkills` to find skills by name or keyword.
2. **Get Skill Details**: Use `getSkillById` to get detailed information about a specific skill.
---
### Controller Example
Here is an example of how to use `SkillsDatabaseApiService` within a Laravel controller:
```php
skillsService = $skillsService;
}
/**
* @throws GuzzleException
*/
public function searchSkills(string $query)
{
$results = $this->skillsService->searchSkills($query);
return response()->json($results);
}
/**
* @throws GuzzleException
*/
public function getSkillDetails(string $skillId)
{
$skill = $this->skillsService->getSkillById($skillId);
return response()->json($skill);
}
}
```
### Handling Guzzle Exceptions
All requests are managed by Guzzle, so it's helpful to be familiar with [Guzzle Exceptions](https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html#exceptions).
Example:
```php
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;
try {
$skills = $this->skillsService->searchSkills('programming');
} catch (ClientException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
```
---
## Optional Configuration
You can customize the configuration by setting the following environment variables in your `.env` file:
```bash
SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SHARP_API_BASE_URL=https://sharpapi.com/api/v1
```
---
