README

A HN Api client wrapper for PHP, built to experiment with Guzzle services.

Installation

The package is available through composer:

$ composer require mgerarts/hn-api-php

Usage

The client is a wrapper around a Guzzle service definition. It can be instantiated like this:

<?php

use HackerNewsApi\Service\HackerNewsServiceClient;
use HackerNewsApi\Client\HackerNewsClient;

$client = new HackerNewsClient(HackerNewsServiceClient::create());

You can then start making requests:

<?php

$client->getItem(8863);

// Will return:
// HackerNewsApi\Models\Item {#70
