title: Noobie bigcommerce API connection
body: <p>Sorry for the noobie question but I just wanted to know the process by which I could at least connect to my bigcommerce store and query it via a PHP or curl script.</p>
  
  <p>If someone could help me with simple instructions. i.e download bigcommerce php script, install , generate API on user, install wamp or some other php mac app paste into here blah blah blah I would be eternally grateful.</p>
  
  <p>I have been reading and reading and just obvioulsy missing something as I cant gereneate anything out of the playground section of developer big commerce functionality and dont know where to go from here.</p>
  
  <p>Nearly forgot to mention I am on a mac if that makes a difference</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Andrew</p>
