A family is group of offers, used by ArrowSphere to avoid having too many offers all at once if a vendor has too many of them.
The term "family" replaces the legacy term "service".
A family is managed by the Family
entity.

$client = (new FamilyClient())
->setUrl(URL)
->setApiKey(API_KEY);
$families = $client->getFamilies('microsoft');
