README

Asynchronous HTTP client used for communication with the Discord REST API.

Requirements

• PHP >=7.4

Installation

$ composer require discord-php/http

A psr/log-compliant logging library is also required. We recommend monolog which will be used in examples.

Usage

<?php

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler;
use Discord\Http\Http;
use Discord\Http\Drivers\React;

$loop = \React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$logger = (new Logger('logger-name'))->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('php://output'));
$http = new Http(
    'Bot xxxx.yyyy.zzzz',
    $loop,
    $logger
);

// set up a driver - this example uses the React driver
$driver = new React($loop);
$http->setDriver($driver);

// must be the last line
$loop->run();

All request methods have the same footprint:

$http->get(string $url, $content = null, array $headers = []);
$http->post(string $url, $content = null, array $headers = []);
$http->put(string $url, $content = null, array $headers = []);
$http->patch(string $url, $content = null, array $headers = []);
$http->delete(string $url, $content = null, array $headers = []);

For other methods:

$http->queueRequest(string $method, string $url, $content, array $headers = []);

All methods return the decoded JSON response in an object:

// https://discord.com/api/v8/oauth2/applications/@me
$http->get('oauth2/applications/@me')->done(function ($response) {
    var_dump($response);
}, function ($e) {
    echo "Error: ".$e->getMessage().PHP_EOL;
});

Most Discord endpoints are provided in the Endpoint.php class as constants. Parameters start with a colon, e.g. channels/:channel_id/messages/:message_id. You can bind parameters to then with the same class:

// channels/channel_id_here/messages/message_id_here
$endpoint = Endpoint::bind(Endpoint::CHANNEL_MESSAGE, 'channel_id_here', 'message_id_here');

$http->get($endpoint)->done(...);

It is recommended that if the endpoint contains parameters you use the Endpoint::bind() function to sort requests into their correct rate limit buckets. For an example, see DiscordPHP.
