Steps for Installation

Composer

Publish Config file

This file contains some essential information the Client requires to make successful requests

Example Usages

You can simply create a new Client, passing in your api key and that's it! You can decide to bind the class in your AppServiceProvider, but if not, the client can easily be initialised in any __invoke or __construct

This package is set up in a way that all the params you need can be built using chainable function helpers, as they all return $this. Once you call one of the API endpoints which return a response, you can no longer call these function helpers.

Another way to define your Client Class

You can bind your Client class at runtime in the AppServiceProvider. Allowing you to simply define the Client in the constructor of your class, without having to constantly pass the api credentials.

then your class may look like

Additional: When constructing the Client, it will have some default parameters

This avoids having to define these on each request, but they can be overwritten with their corresponding class functions ie; setRegions('au')

To help manage your quota, there are helpers that you can call to return the number of requests used and remaining. Checkout the UseHandleHeaders trait, which can be called on any OddsClient instant.

Also, if this API ever becomes outdated for a small period of time, and you require to use new parameters, you can utilise the addParams() function, which accepts an array where you can pass any new parameters.
