insign/php-github-api

A simple PHP GitHub API client, Object Oriented, tested and documented. For 5.5+.

PHP GitHub API

A simple Object Oriented wrapper for GitHub API, written with PHP5.

Uses GitHub API v3 & supports GitHub API v4. The object API (v3) is very similar to the RESTful API.

Features

• Light and fast thanks to lazy loading of API classes
• Extensively tested and documented

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.6
• A HTTP client
• A PSR-7 implementation
• (optional) PHPUnit to run tests.

Install

Via Composer:

$ composer require knplabs/github-api php-http/guzzle6-adapter

Why php-http/guzzle6-adapter? We are decoupled from any HTTP messaging client with help by HTTPlug. Read about clients in our docs.

Using Laravel?

Laravel GitHub by Graham Campbell might interest you.

Basic usage of php-github-api client

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new \Github\Client();
$repositories = $client->api('user')->repositories('ornicar');

From $client object, you can access to all GitHub.

Cache usage

This example uses the PSR6 cache pool redis-adapter. See http://www.php-cache.com/ for alternatives.

<?php

// This file is generated by Composer
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Cache\Adapter\Redis\RedisCachePool;

$client = new \Redis();
$client->connect('127.0.0.1', 6379);
// Create a PSR6 cache pool
$pool = new RedisCachePool($client);

$client = new \Github\Client();
$client->addCache($pool);

// Do some request

// Stop using cache
$client->removeCache();

Using cache, the client will get cached responses if resources haven't changed since last time, without reaching the X-Rate-Limit imposed by github.
