Gab now has an official API and documentation at developers.gab.com. Use that instead of this repo, which won't be updated any more.
Gab.ai does not currently have a public API or much documentation, so here are some basic, quick and dirty PHP functions to get you started talking to the Gab.ai API unofficially. Presently only posting a plain text Gab is supported, but this should be easy to extend to start doing other things.
This is wholly unofficial, likely to break, and hopefully a temporary solution until Gab release an official public API. Use at your own risk and be sure to follow the Gab terms of service: https://gab.ai/about/tos
Please be respectful and do not spam Gab with this script!

The above is an example of sending a simple plain text gab to your timeline. It is possible to construct a more elaborate gab by overriding the basic envelope options. The following example posts to the Philosophy topic.
$Gab = array (
'body' => '<p>Turn off the light switch before changing the bulb. #Wisdom</p>',
'is_html' => '1',
'topic' => '5436f0a7-548a-4445-ad91-7db971b48c84'
);
$GabResponse = Gab_DoPost ('your_gab_username', 'your_gab_password', $Gab);
