Usage

Using the SDK it's quite easy. An example of a GET call to the API is the following:

<?php 

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use SearchdataSDK\SearchdataGoogleSearch;
use SearchdataSDK\SearchdataLocations;

$googleSearch = new SearchdataGoogleSearch('YOUR_API_KEY');
$locationsAPI = new SearchdataLocations();

try {
    $locations = $locationsAPI->execute('New York', 1)['body'];

    $googleSearch->set_q('test');
    $googleSearch->set_device('mobile');
    $googleSearch->set_lr('lang_en|lang_ar');
    $googleSearch->set_location($locations[0]['location']);

    $response = $googleSearch->execute();
    echo json_encode($response['body']);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Alternatively, you can use the function executeRaw, which will allow you to send the parameters in an associative array:

<?php 

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use SearchdataSDK\SearchdataGoogleSearch;
use SearchdataSDK\SearchdataLocations;

$googleSearch = new SearchdataGoogleSearch('YOUR_API_KEY');
$locationsAPI = new SearchdataLocations();

try {
    $locations = $locationsAPI->execute('New York', 1)['body'];

    $response = $googleSearch->executeRaw([
        'q' => 'test',
        'device' => 'mobile',
        'lr' => 'lang_en|lang_ar',
        'location' => $locations[0]['location']
    ]);
    echo json_encode($response['body']);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
