Github API easy access

This library helps you to access Github API. It is quite low-level library. All data are returned in the same raw form as Github describes them at documentation page. None envelope classes.

So what the library does? It helps you to:

• obtain OAuth token
• define/read HTTP headers in a sane way
• encode/decode JSON data
• observe incoming and outgoing HTTP activity
• cache requests to save the rate-limit

Basic usage

The heard of the library is the Milo\Github\Api class. Within this class you access the API by GET, POST, HEAD, PUT ... HTTP methods.

$api = new Milo\Github\Api;

# Get all available emoticon URLs example
$response = $api->get('/emojis');
$emojis = $api->decode($response);

# Render a Markdown document example
$data = [
    'text' => 'Check out this commit e41d17e4a4a9e5368e018fcac44ff42155bc8738',
    'mode' => 'gfm',
    'context' => 'milo/github-api',
];
$response = $api->post('/markdown', $data);
$html = $api->decode($response);

And that's actually all. You can find details about library API on other wiki pages.
