DVLASearch - API Client

This PHP composer package provides a simple object orientated way to interact with the http://dvlasearch.co.uk API.

Setup:

Using composer add the package to your project:

composer require opensaucesystems/dvlasearch

Initializing the client:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    
/**
 * Initialize the API client class
 */
$dvlasearch = new opensaucesystems\dvlasearch\APIClient(
    'DvlaSearchDemoAccount' // API key
);

Making calls:

To interact with the API, its as simple as calling a class method or property, endpoints are dynamically loaded when traversed to.

For example:

print_r($dvlasearch->vin->find('WMX1903782A004387'), true);
