// Importing the SDK class
use TechSpecsSDK\TechSpecsSDK;

// TechSpecs API Key
$techSpecsKey = 'techspecs_api_key';

// TechSpecs base https://apis.dashboard.techspecs.io/{techspecs_base}
$techSpecsBase = 'a8TD3mkN49fhg2y';

// Instantiate the Library
$techSpecs = new TechSpecsSDK($techSpecsBase, $techSpecsKey);

// product name or version number to search
$keyword = 'iPhone 13';

// product category to search
$category = ['all'];

// choose between "pretty" or "raw" mode for viewing response
$response = $techSpecs->search($keyword, $category, 'pretty');

// print the search results
print($response);
