A PHP client for the [Sift Science](https://siftscience.com/) REST API.

Note: Sift Science now offer their own PHP bindings [here](https://github.com/SiftScience/sift-php).

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6b54e4594c868ce68f3913b1cb19b4e3f1b82d7843cd85f8b41b9c51deff3a64/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f393964657369676e732f73697068742e706e67)](https://travis-ci.org/99designs/sipht)

This client supports the three basic operations exposed by the Sift API: posting events, labelling users and fetching scores.

The currently supported API version is **`v203`**.

Instantiating a client
----------------------

[](#instantiating-a-client)

Interactions with the API occur via `Sift\Client`. You instantiate a client by passing your API key to its constructor:

```
$client = new Sift\Client('my-api-key');
```

The following errors may be thrown by any client request:

- `Sift\Exception\BadRequestException`: HTTP 40x; the request was rejected by the API
- `Sift\Exception\ServerErrorException`: HTTP 50x; the API endpoint suffered some internal problem
- `Sift\Exception\HttpException`: any other exception generated in the course of making the HTTP request (e.g. too many redirects)

Posting events
--------------

[](#posting-events)

Create instances of `Sift\Event`, e.g.:

```
$event = new Sift\Event(array(
    '$type' => Sift\Event::TYPE_TRANSACTION,
    '$user_id' => '1234',
    // ...
));
```

Alternatively, factory constructors are provided for each event type:

```
$event = Sift\Event::transactionEvent(array(
    '$user_id' => '1234',
    // ...
));
```

Then post the event via `Sift\Client::postEvent()`:

```
$response = $client->postEvent($event);
```

See  for more information on posting event data.

Labelling users
---------------

[](#labelling-users)

Create label objects using the factory methods of `Sift\Label`, e.g.:

```
// Label a user as fraudulent, optionally specifying reason codes and an explanation:
$reasons = array(Sift\Label::REASON_SPAM);
$label = Sift\Label::bad($reasons, 'User engaged in phishing attack')

// Alternatively, correct a false positive by labelling a user as non-fraudulent:
$good = Sift\Label::good('Mistakenly identified as fraudulent');
```

Then post the event via `Sift\Client::labelUser()`:

```
$response = $client->labelUser('some-user-id', $label);
```

See  for more information on labelling users.

Fetching scores
---------------

[](#fetching-scores)

Fetch fraud score data for a user via `Sift\Client::userScore()`:

```
$score = $client->userScore('some-user-id');
```

This returns an instance of `Sift\Score`. Note that if no events have been captured for the given user, a `Sift\Exception\ScoreException` will be thrown.

See  for more information on fetching user fraud scores.
