README

TikAPI SDK for plain PHP and Laravel, created and maintained by NeedLaravelSite.

🚀 Overview

This SDK provides a clean, scalable, and framework-agnostic wrapper for the TikAPI — making it easy to fetch TikTok data via PHP or Laravel.

✅ Works in plain PHP
✅ Fully integrated with Laravel (Service Provider + Facade)
✅ Built on Guzzle
✅ Auto-loads API keys from .env
✅ PSR-4 and PSR-12 compliant
✅ Includes feature tests for all public endpoints

🧰 Installation

composer require needlaravelsite/tikapi-php

Requires PHP 8.0+

⚙️ Laravel Setup

1. Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="NeedLaravelSite\\TikApi\\TikApiServiceProvider" --tag=config

2. Add Environment Variables

TIKAPI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
TIKAPI_ACCOUNT_KEY=your_account_key_if_any
TIKAPI_BASE_URL=https://api.tikapi.io

If any of these values are missing, the SDK safely defaults to environment values or fallback URLs.

🧩 Usage Examples

✅ In Laravel (via Facade or DI)

Using the Facade:

use NeedLaravelSite\TikApi\Facades\TikApi;

$response = TikApi::public()->explore()->list(5, 'us');

Using Dependency Injection:

use NeedLaravelSite\TikApi\TikApi;

class TikApiController
{
    public function index(TikApi $tikapi)
    {
        return $tikapi->public()->video()->get('7109178205151464746');
    }
}

✅ In Plain PHP

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use NeedLaravelSite\TikApi\TikApi;

$tikapi = new TikApi();

$response = $tikapi->public()->check()->username('lilyachty');
print_r($response);

Or provide credentials manually:

$tikapi = new TikApi('your_api_key', 'optional_account_key', 'https://api.tikapi.io');
