FAQ
Example:

Usage
Configuration
User Agent
You can customize the User-Agent header by passing it in the Guzzle client options:
Using curl-impersonate
This library supports curl-impersonate to mimic real browser behavior. When using curl-impersonate, the library automatically removes the default User-Agent header to let curl-impersonate handle it.
To use curl-impersonate:
- Install curl-impersonate on your system
- Typically, you'd want to download the
libcurl-*package for the respective system architecture and extract it - Follow the Using libcurl-impersonate in PHP scripts guide
- Typically, you'd want to download the
-
When execution your application, set the required environment variables:
- Create your API client normally - no additional configuration needed:
The library will automatically detect the CURL_IMPERSONATE environment variable and configure the HTTP client
accordingly.
Retry Feature
The library includes a built-in retry mechanism that can automatically retry failed requests. Configure it when creating the client:
When a request fails, the library will:
- Wait for the specified delay
- Renew the session context (fetch new set of cookies and crumb value)
- Retry the request
- Repeat until success or max retries reached
Context Cache Feature
The library supports caching session contexts (cookies and crumb value) to improve performance and reduce HTTP requests. This is especially useful in high-traffic applications or when making multiple requests.
To use caching, you need a PSR-6 cache implementation, e.g. you could use symfony/cache:
Then configure the cache. In this example, a simple file-based cache is used:
