This service is a simple PHP wrapper for the Brewerydb.com API. Usage: $bdb = new Pintlabs_Service_Brewerydb($apikey); $bdb->setFormat('php'); // if you want to get php back. 'xml' and 'json' are also valid options. Then you can call the API: try { // The first argument to request() is the endpoint you want to call // 'brewery/BrvKTz', 'beers', etc. // The third parameter is the HTTP method to use (GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE) $results = $bdb->request('beers', $params, 'GET'); // where $params is a keyed array of parameters to send with the API call. } catch (Exception $e) { $results = array('error' => $e->getMessage()); }
