];

$twitchApi = new \TwitchApi\TwitchApi($options);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser(26490481);

// By default API responses are returned as an array, but if you want the raw JSON instead:
$twitchApi->setReturnJson(true);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser(26490481);

// If you want to switch between API versions on the fly:
$twitchApi->setApiVersion(3);
$user = $twitchApi->getUser('summit1g');

See the examples directory for more common use cases.

Requirements

PHP 5.6 or higher is required.

Installation

Either pull in the library via composer:

$ composer require nicklaw5/twitch-api-php

or add the following dependency to your composer.json file and run composer install:

"nicklaw5/twitch-api-php": "0.1.*"

Tests

All unit tests can be run with the following command:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit # or simply "phpunit" if you have it installed globally

Documentation

The Twitch API docs can be found here.

As for the documentation of this library, that is still on the to-do list. In the meantime, most modern IDEs by default, or through the use of plugins, will provide class property and method auto-completion. Or you can simple look through the source code.
