README

This php package is a wrapper for the coinmarketcap.com API. It supports three endpoints:

• The ticker endpoint "/ticker", which returns all crypto currencies, and their vital statistics like price, volume, market cap and percentage changes
• The currency ticker endpoint "/ticker/", which returns all the data in the previous endpoint, except for only the specified coin.
• The global data endpoint "/global", which returns some stats like the total market cap, active currencies, active markets and so on.

Install

composer require cointokenhub/cmc-api-php

Usage

In a PHP app:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use CoinTokenHub\CoinMarketCapApi\CoinMarketCap;

$httpClient = new Client();
$cmcApi = new CoinMarketCap($httpClient);


$api->ticker('AUD', false, 5);
$api->currencyTicker($coin);
$api->globalData();

In Laravel:

Add a route to routes/web.php that looks like below:

Route::get('coin/{coin}', 'CoinController@coin');
Route::get('ticker', 'CoinController@ticker');
Route::get('global_data', 'CoinController@globalData');

Controller looks like below:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use CoinTokenHub\CoinMarketCapApi\CoinMarketCap;

class CoinController extends Controller
{
	private $httpClient;

	public function __construct(Client $httpClient) {
		$this->httpClient = $httpClient;
	}

    public function coin($coin) {
		$api = new CoinMarketCap($this->httpClient);
		return json_encode($api->currencyTicker($coin));
    }

    public function ticker() {
	    $api = new CoinMarketCap($this->httpClient);
	    return json_encode($api->ticker('AUD', false, 5));
    }

    public function globalData() {
	    $api = new CoinMarketCap($this->httpClient);
	    return json_encode($api->globalData());
    }
}

Configuring for Laravel

Laravel 5.5 and higher

You don't need to change or add any config as this package uses Package Auto Discovery.

Laravel 5.4 and lower

After installing, register the CoinTokenHub\CoinMarketCapApi\CoinMarketCapServiceProvider service provider in your config/app.php file.

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...

    CoinTokenHub\CoinMarketCapApi\CoinMarketCapServiceProvider::class,
],

Also add the facade to your aliases array in the config/app.php file in order to easily access this wrapper using the CoinMarketCap alias

'CoinMarketCap' => CoinTokenHub\CoinMarketCapApi\CoinMarketCapFacade::class,
