Preparation

Before start to code, don’t forget to read the PHP: Getting Started tutorial to see how to prepare your code for hive-php-lib. If you want a shortcut, just start your PHP file with:

<?php

/* Load Composer for autoload libs */
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

/* Declase use statement to add Hive Condenser lib */
use Hive\PhpLib\Hive\Condenser as HiveCondenser;

/* Create config array and fill with settings */
$config = [
    "debug" => false,
    "disableSsl" => false,
    "heNode" => "api.hive-engine.com/rpc",
    "hiveNode" =>"anyx.io",
];

/* Instantiate Hive Condenser object */
$hiveApi = new HiveCondenser($config);

Query

Now, use the getDiscussionByBlog function.

This function needs two variables to work:

• $tag: (string) to have the author to fetch,
• $limit: (int) to know how much posts to fetch.

$tag = 'bambukah';
$limit = 5;

$result = $hiveApi->getDiscussionsByBlog($tag, $limit);

$result will be an array with all data. To display them, just print_r() the first element:

print_r($result[0]);

Now, you have an array with five posts from @bambukah and you have all the details for each post.
