1 Guzzle, PHP HTTP client
2 =======================
4 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/guzzle/guzzle.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/guzzle/guzzle)
6 Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and
7 trivial to integrate with web services.
9 - Simple interface for building query strings, POST requests, streaming large
10 uploads, streaming large downloads, using HTTP cookies, uploading JSON data,
12 - Can send both synchronous and asynchronous requests using the same interface.
13 - Uses PSR-7 interfaces for requests, responses, and streams. This allows you
14 to utilize other PSR-7 compatible libraries with Guzzle.
15 - Abstracts away the underlying HTTP transport, allowing you to write
16 environment and transport agnostic code; i.e., no hard dependency on cURL,
17 PHP streams, sockets, or non-blocking event loops.
18 - Middleware system allows you to augment and compose client behavior.
21 $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
22 $res = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.github.com/repos/guzzle/guzzle');
23 echo $res->getStatusCode();
25 echo $res->getHeaderLine('content-type');
26 // 'application/json; charset=utf8'
28 // '{"id": 1420053, "name": "guzzle", ...}'
30 // Send an asynchronous request.
31 $request = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('GET', 'http://httpbin.org');
32 $promise = $client->sendAsync($request)->then(function ($response) {
33 echo 'I completed! ' . $response->getBody();

47 The recommended way to install Guzzle is through
48 [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).
52 curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
55 Next, run the Composer command to install the latest stable version of Guzzle:
58 php composer.phar require guzzlehttp/guzzle
61 After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:
64 require 'vendor/autoload.php';
67 You can then later update Guzzle using composer:
