FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

laravel-itunes-store-api

Here is to have a simple way to interact with the iTunes Store API from a Laravel >= 5.3 app.

Usage

Caching and iTunes Store API's rate limiting

Curently, the API is "limited to approximately 20 calls per minute (subject to change)". (Approximately!)

For now, the only way to know that you're on the rather erratic Store's rate limit is if we hit an HTTP response of 403 Forbidden. There is no way to know when it expires, or how many call you have left, or anything usefull for that matter (yep, this sucks).

To help you manage the rate limiting, we provide a parameter to the result object returned by the search called rateLimited. If set to true, we encountered a 403 and it means that you are rate limited.

Of course, we cannot stop you from hitting the API even if you are rate limited, so it's your duty to make sure you stope for a little while if rateLimited is set to true.

One last thing on rate limiting: since we usually cache results by default, if we ever encounter a 403, we return an empty result without caching results, without consideration to the caching setting you could have set. This way, if you make the same call again within the normal caching time, but are not rate limited again, you won't get an empty result.

Results

In the example above, what is returned in $results is an object containing: a collection of results; a count value for the results; a boolean to know if we are rate limited, a boolean to know if the result is coming from cached data, a boolean to know if we requested to search in the cache only, raw response data; and the unformatted query sent to the API.
