Httpful

Httpful is a simple Http Client library for PHP 7.2+. There is an emphasis of readability, simplicity, and flexibility – basically provide the features and flexibility to get the job done and make those features really easy to use.

Features

• Readable HTTP Method Support (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, PATCH and OPTIONS)
• Custom Headers
• Automatic "Smart" Parsing
• Automatic Payload Serialization
• Basic Auth
• Client Side Certificate Auth
• Request "Templates"

Sneak Peak

Here's something to whet your appetite. Search the twitter API for tweets containing "#PHP". Include a trivial header for the heck of it. Notice that the library automatically interprets the response as JSON (can override this if desired) and parses it as an array of objects.

// Make a request to the GitHub API with a custom
// header of "X-Trvial-Header: Just as a demo".
$url = "https://api.github.com/users/maxiwheat";
$response = src\Request::get($url)
    ->expectsJson()
    ->withXTrivialHeader('Just as a demo')
    ->send();

echo "{$response->body->name} joined GitHub on " .
                        date('M jS', strtotime($response->body->created_at)) ."\n";
