Provides an example of how to instantiate the `Parameters` class with various configuration options. This class is used to define request parameters for API calls, including format, data freshness, and output settings.

```php
<?php  
  
use MarketDataApp\Endpoints\Requests\Parameters;  
use MarketDataApp\Enums\Format;  
use MarketDataApp\Enums\Mode;  
use MarketDataApp\Enums\DateFormat;  
  
$params = new Parameters(  
    format: Format::JSON,           // Response format  
    use_human_readable: true,       // Human-readable values  
    mode: Mode::CACHED,             // Data freshness mode  
    maxage: 300,                    // Cache freshness (seconds)  
    date_format: DateFormat::UNIX,  // Date format for CSV/HTML  
    columns: ['open', 'close'],     // Column selection for CSV/HTML  
    add_headers: true,              // Include headers in CSV/HTML  
    filename: '/path/to/output.csv' // Output file path for CSV/HTML  
);  

```

use MarketDataApp\Client;

// Create client (uses MARKETDATA_TOKEN environment variable)
$client = new Client();

// Test the connection
$status = $client->utilities->api_status();
echo "API Status Response: {$status->status}\n";

if (!empty($status->services)) {
    $service = $status->services[0];
    echo "Service Check: {$service->service} is {$service->status}\n";
}

```

```php
<?php
  
use MarketDataApp\Client;
  
$client = new Client();
  
// Get the last 20 trading days
$statuses = $client->markets->status(
    to: 'today',
    countback: 20
);
  
$tradingDays = 0;
foreach ($statuses->statuses as $status) {
    if ($status->status === 'open') {
        $tradingDays++;
    }
}
  
echo "Last " . count($statuses->statuses) . " days included " . $tradingDays . " trading days.\n";

```

--------------------------------

### Get Historical Option Quote for a Specific Date (PHP)

Source: https://www.marketdata.app/docs/sdk/php/options/quotes

```php
<?php
  
use MarketDataApp\Client;
  
$client = new Client();
  
// Get historical quote from a specific date
$quotes = $client->options->quotes(
    option_symbols: 'AAPL250117C00200000',
    date: '2024-01-15'
);

echo "Historical Quote (2024-01-15):\n";
foreach ($quotes->quotes as $quote) {
    echo "Last: $" . $quote->last . "\n";
    echo "IV: " . number_format($quote->iv * 100, 1) . "%\n";
}


```

### Configuration Priority and Usage

Source: https://www.marketdata.app/docs/sdk/php/parameters

This section details how universal parameters like output format and date format are configured in the Market Data PHP SDK. It explains the priority order: Environment Variables (lowest), Client Default Parameters, and Direct Method Parameters (highest).

```APIDOC
## Configuration Priority and Usage

The Market Data PHP SDK allows for flexible configuration of universal parameters, which are applied to API requests. The SDK supports a priority hierarchy for these configurations:

1.  **Environment Variables**: Lowest priority. Set globally using variables like `MARKETDATA_FORMAT`.
2.  **Client Default Parameters (`$client->default_params`)**: Medium priority. Set on a specific client instance and applied to all its requests unless overridden.
3.  **Direct Method Parameters**: Highest priority. Passed directly to resource methods and override all other settings for that specific call.

When an API call is made, the SDK merges these parameters, with higher priority settings overriding lower ones. This ensures that specific calls can override global or client-level defaults.

### Example: Setting Environment Variables

```php
<?php

// Set environment variables (typically done in .env file)
putenv('MARKETDATA_FORMAT=csv');
putenv('MARKETDATA_DATE_FORMAT=timestamp');

use MarketDataApp\Client;

$client = new Client();

// All calls will use CSV format and timestamp date format
// unless overridden by default_params or method parameters
$quote = $client->stocks->quote('AAPL');
// Uses: format=CSV, date_format=TIMESTAMP
```

### Example: Setting Client Default Parameters

```php
<?php

use MarketDataApp\Client;
use MarketDataApp\Endpoints\Requests\Parameters;
use MarketDataApp\Enums\Format;
use MarketDataApp\Enums\DateFormat;

$client = new Client();

// Set default parameters for this client instance
$client->default_params = new Parameters(
    format: Format::JSON,
    date_format: DateFormat::TIMESTAMP
);

// All calls will use JSON format and timestamp date format
// (unless overridden by method parameters)
$quote = $client->stocks->quote('AAPL');
// Uses: format=JSON, date_format=TIMESTAMP

$quotes = $client->stocks->quotes(['AAPL', 'MSFT']);
// Uses: format=JSON, date_format=TIMESTAMP
```

**Note:** `$client->default_params` overrides environment variables.

### Example: Passing Parameters Directly to Resource Methods

```php
