PHP Client Wrapper for FantasyData, a Real time fantasy football data API providing feeds for your website or mobile app. Since our organization needed to build a client wrapper for the service so that we could use it for ourselves, we decided to work with the folks at FantasyData to create an Open Source version of our client library so that anyone using their service can benefit from it. If you're a customer of FantasyData and are interested in contributing back to this project, feel free to read the Contributing Documentation, we'd love to have you.
In the future, we'll also be adding related libraries as well. As we do, they'll be referenced here.
If you're interested in seeing what we do with the service, or you're just interested in Fantasy Football in general, please check out our site, Gridiron Guru.
This module requires the use of Composer, you will find additional software requirements in the packaged composer.json file.
In addition, you will need to obtain an api key from the FantasyData Portal. The service offers a Free Trial as well as a Developer subscription for those getting started.
Using the library requires only an API key
$client = new FantasyDataAPI\Client( "Your FantasyData API key" );
$result = $client->Timeframes(['Type' => Timeframes\Type::KEY_CURRENT]);To easily include the FantasyDataAPI into your project, you should be using Composer. To do so, add lines similar to the following to your project's composer.json file.
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4",
"gridiron-guru/fantasy-data-api" : "1.*",
},
"repositories": [ {
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://github.com/gridiron-guru/FantasyDataAPI"
}],
This project uses Travis CI for build and CI.
The same environment variables above are already encrypted in the travis.yml file for the project. The values in source control are for accessing the project owner's FantasyDataAPI api key. This allows the Travis CI system to run integration tests. If you wish to fork this repo and run your own TravisCI builds, then you will need to regenerate the encrypted values.
This project is built on top of a number of open source projects, but I wanted to specifically call out and thank the Guzzle project. Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client and webservice framework for building RESTful web service clients. I first discovered Guzzle at php[tek], a PHP conference run by the folks at php[architect].
All documentation can be found in the doc folder.
