Configuration

Before using the API client, you need to set up your credentials:

// Basic API configuration
$apiUrl = 'https://www.finstat.sk/api/';    // URL for Slovak API (use 'https://cz.finstat.sk/api/' for Czech API)
$apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';                  // Your unique API key
$privateKey = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY';          // Your private key
$stationId = 'Your Station ID';            // Identifier for the station making the request
$stationName = 'Your Station Name';        // Name or description of the station
$timeout = 10;                             // Timeout in seconds for server response
$json = false;                             // Set to true if you want the API to return responses as JSON
