LeagueAPI: How to begin

How to begin? It's easy.

//  Include all required files
require_once __DIR__  . "/vendor/autoload.php";

use RiotAPI\RiotAPI;
use RiotAPI\Definitions\Region;

//  Initialize the library
$api = new RiotAPI([
	//  Your API key, you can get one at https://developer.riotgames.com/
	RiotAPI::SET_KEY    => 'YOUR_RIOT_API_KEY',
	//  Target region (you can change it during lifetime of the library instance)
	RiotAPI::SET_REGION => Region::EUROPE_EAST,
]);

//  And now you are ready to rock!
$ch = $api->getChampion(61); // Orianna <3

And there is a lot more what you can set when initializing the library, here is a complete list:

Library settings key	Value	Description
RiotAPI::SET_REGION	Region::EUROPE_EAST, Region::EUROPE_WEST, Region::NORTH_AMERICA, string	Required. Used to specify, to which endpoint calls are going to be made.
RiotAPI::SET_KEY	string	Required. Option to specify your API key.
RiotAPI::SET_TOURNAMENT_KEY	string	Option to specify your tournament API key.
RiotAPI::SET_VERIFY_SSL	bool default true	Use this option to disable SSL verification. Useful when testing on localhost. Shoul not be used in production.
RiotAPI::SET_KEY_INCLUDE_TYPE	RiotAPI::KEY_AS_QUERY_PARAM, RiotAPI::KEY_AS_HEADER	This option determines how is API key going to be included in the requests (by default RiotAPI::KEY_AS_HEADER).
RiotAPI::SET_INTERIM	bool default false	By specifying this, you tell the library to be in interim mode and use interim-only endpoints (eg. tournament calls will be sent to stub endpoints).
RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_RATELIMIT	bool default false	This option tells the library to take care of not exceeding your API key's rate limit by counting the requests (you should also set desired limits using RiotAPI::SET_RATELIMITS or defaults will be used). See [[rate limiting
RiotAPI::SET_RATELIMITS	array	Option to specify per-key API call rate limits. See [[rate limiting
RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_CALLS	bool default false	This option tells the library to cache fetched data from API and to try to re-use already fetched data (you should also set option RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_CALLS_LENGTH to specify for how long should fetched data be stored in cache). See [[call caching
RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_CALLS_LENGTH	int|array default 60	Option to specify how log should fetched data from API be saved in cache. See [[call caching
RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_PROVIDER	RiotAPI::CACHE_PROVIDER_FILE, RiotAPI::CACHE_PROVIDER_MEMCACHED, ICacheProvider	Using this option you can select from our cache providers or even provide your own. See [[cache providers
RiotAPI::SET_CACHE_PROVIDER_PARAMS	array	These are parameters, that will be passed to the CacheProvider on it's initialization. See [[cache providers
RiotAPI::SET_EXTENSIONS	array	This option contains extensions for any ApiObject. See [[extensions
RiotAPI::SET_STATICDATA_LINKING	bool default false	Option to specify whether or not should StaticData linking be enabled. See [[StaticData linking
RiotAPI::SET_STATICDATA_LOCALE	string	This option sets language in which should StaticData be fetched. See [[StaticData linking
RiotAPI::SET_STATICDATA_VERSION	string	This option sets game version from which should StaticData be fetched. See [[StaticData linking
RiotAPI::SET_CALLBACKS_BEFORE	callable|callable[]	Functions set in this option will be called before request is made. See [[StaticData linking
RiotAPI::SET_CALLBACKS_AFTER	callable|callable[]	Functions set in this option will be called after request is made. See callback functions for more information.

Usage example

Working with RiotAPI can not be easier, just watch how to fetch summoner information based on summoner's name:

//  ...initialization...

//  this fetches the summoner data and returns SummonerDto object
$summoner = $api->getSummonerByName('I am TheKronnY');

echo $summoner->id;             //  30904166
echo $summoner->name;           //  I am TheKronnY
echo $summoner->summonerLevel;  //  30

print_r($summoner->getData());  //  Or array of all the data
/* Array
 * (
 *    [id] => 30904166
 *    [name] => I am TheKronnY
 *    [profileIconId] => 540
 *    [summonerLevel] => 30
 *    [revisionDate] => 1484850969000
 * )
 */

..or how to fetch a static champion data?

//  ...initialization...

//  this fetches the champion data and returns StaticChampionDto object
$champion = $api->getStaticChampion(61);

echo $champion->name;  //  Orianna
echo $champion->title; //  the Lady of Clockwork

print_r($champion->getData());  //  Or array of all the data
/* Array
 * (
 *    [id] => 61
 *    [name] => "Orianna"
 *    [key] => "Orianna"
 *    [title] => "the Lady of Clockwork"
 * )
 */
