It's easy to implement, as you see in the following example:

// Authenticate
try {
   $client->initSessionByCredentials('glpi', 'glpi');
} catch (Exception $e) {
   echo $e->getMessage();
   die();
}

// The client handles the session token for you (app token not yet supported)

// do something
$itemHandler = new \Glpi\Api\Rest\ItemHandler($client);
$response = $itemHandler->getItem('User', 2);
$user = json_decode($response['body']);
echo "User name: " . $user->name . "\n";
