 ## UniFi Controller API client class
 
-A PHP class which provides access to Ubiquiti's **UniFi Controller API**, versions 4.X.X and 5.X.X of the UniFi Controller software are supported (version 5.9.29 has been confirmed to work). It's a standalone version of the class which is used in our API browser tool which can be found [here](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-browser).
+A PHP class which provides access to Ubiquiti's [**UniFi SDN Controller API**](https://unifi-sdn.ui.com/), versions 4.X.X and 5.X.X of the UniFi SDN Controller software are supported (version 5.11.39 has been confirmed to work). It's a standalone version of the class which is used in our API browser tool which can be found [here](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-browser).
 
 This class can be installed manually or using composer/[packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/art-of-wifi/unifi-api-client) for easy inclusion in your projects.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- a web server with PHP and cURL modules installed (tested on apache2 with PHP Version 5.6.1 and cURL 7.42.1 and with PHP 7.0.7 and cURL 7.37.0)
+- a web server with PHP and cURL modules installed (tested on Apache 2.4 with PHP Version 5.6.1 and cURL 7.42.1 and with PHP 7.2.10 and cURL 7.58.0)
 - network connectivity between this web server and the server and port (normally TCP port 8443) where the UniFi Controller is running

 #### IMPORTANT NOTES:
 
-1. The last optional parameter that is passed to the constructor in the above example (`true`), enables validation of the controller's SSL certificate which is otherwise **disabled** by default. It is highly recommended to enable this feature in production environments where you have a valid SSL cert installed on the UniFi Controller, and which is associated with the FQDN of the server as used in the `controller_url` parameter. This option was added with API client version 1.1.16.

+1. In the above example, `$site_id` is the short site "name" (usually 8 characters long) that is visible in the URL when managing the site in the UniFi SDN Controller. For example with this URL:
 
    `https://<controller IP address or FQDN>:8443/manage/site/jl3z2shm/dashboard`
 
-   In this case, `jl3z2shm` is the value required for $site_id.
