README

A PHP api wrapper for the 4chan api.

Please see https://github.com/4chan/4chan-API for usage rules.

Instalation

Run composer require backendtea/fourchanapi ^1.0 For information about Composer check out their website

Usage

Get a list off all the Thread #'s of /v/

use FourChan\FourChan;

FourChan::board('v')->getThreads();

Grab all the images of the first thread we find on /v/

use FourChan\FourChan;

$posts = FourChan::board('v')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts();

foreach($posts as $post) {
    if ($post->hasimage() {
        echo $post->getImageUrl();
    }
}

Any function related to getting image information throws a FourChan\Util\NoImageException when there is no image. So another way would be:

$posts = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts();

foreach($posts as $post) {
    try{
        echo $post->getImageUrl();
    } catch(NoImageException $e) {
        //do nothing
    }
}

Get the information of a thread

$thread = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0];

// true or false
$thread->isStick();
//true or false
$thread->isClosed();
//true or false
$thread->isArchived();
//Subject or '' if no subject is set.
$thread->getSubject();
//# of OP
$thread->getID();

Get the information of a post

$post = FourChan::board('a')->getThreads()[0]->getPosts()[0];
//Comment of the post, including escaped html.
$post->getFullComment();
//# of the post
$post->getID();

If you need more functionality, either make it yourself and shoot me a PR, or create an issue on Github and hope me or someone else does it for you.
