Sample code to use the Flattr v2 web API

to get up and running:

the oauth2client uses httpconnection and httpresponse which wrapps the curl php bindings.

if you are using a server with apt you can install it by

apt-get install php5-curl

public api call

$client = new OAuth2Client(array('base_url' => 'https://api.flattr.com/rest/v2'));
$thing = $client->getParsed('/things/423405/');
var_dump($thing); // array

minimal sample code

create an API key at https://flattr.com/apps make sure you add a correct callback_url it should be something like http://url-to-your-vhost/callback.php
Copy /config.template.php to /config.php and enter your api credentials.
Point a apache/lighttpd/nginx vhost to the minimal/ directory and restart.
Open http://url-to-your-vhost
