As per the RAWG API Docs: Every API request should have an API Key. If you don’t provide it, we may ban your requests.

Usage

Here is an example of making request to Games endpoint:

$response = \Rawg::load('games')->setParams([
                'page' => 1,
                'page_size' => 40,
                'ordering' => '-rating',
            ])->get();

Or finding details for a specific game:

$response = \Rawg::load('games/{id}')->setParams([
                'id' => 86,
            ])->get();

The principle is that the load method takes the endpoint as provided by RAWG.

Available methods

• load( $endpoint )
• setParamByKey($key, $value)
• setParams($parameters)
• get()
• get($key)

load( $serviceName ) - prepare the endpoint name

Accepts string as parameter. You can find all endpoints in the RAWG API Docs. Returns a reference to itself.

\Rawg::load('publishers') 
... 

setParamByKey( $key, $value ) - set the request parameter using key:value pair

Accepts two parameters:

• key - body parameter name
• value - body parameter value

Deeply nested arrays can use 'dot' notation to assign values.
Returns a reference to itself.

$endpoint = \Rawg::load('publishers')
   ->setParamByKey('page', 3)
   ->setParamByKey('page_size', 10)
    ...

setParams( $parameters) - set all request parameters at once

Accepts and array of parameters
Returns a reference to itself.

$response = \Rawg::load('games')
                ->setParam([
                   'search' => 'monster',
                   'tags' => 'multiplayer',
                ])
...

• get() - performs a RESTful request via GET
• get($key) - filter downs the request result. Dot notation is supported here

$response = \Rawg::load('games')
                ->setParamByKey('search', 'monster')
                 ->get();

Example with $key parameter

$response = \Rawg::load('games')
                ->setParamByKey('search', 'monster')
                 ->get('results');
