// Use the class.
use Src\Icecat\Api;

$icecat = new Api(getenv('ICEACAT_USER'), getenv('ICEACAT_PASS'));
$xml = $icecat->getArticleByMPN('Hewlett Packard Enterprise', '838079-B21', 'HU');
$productDataArray = $icecat->xml2array($xml);

$productData = $icecat->getProductData($productDataArray);

Demo is soon available.
