ApiCheck PHP Client
===================

[](#apicheck-php-client)

This is a PHP client for ApiCheck endpoints. ApiCheck helps you validate customer data.

Currently supported countries: The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Register an account at [ApiCheck Dashboard](https://app.apicheck.nl/authentication/register) and select the appropriate subscription type.
- Create a new API key.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use composer to install this package

```
$ composer require api-check/php-client:^1.0
```

```
{
  "require": {
    "api-check/php-client": "^1.0"
  }
}
```

Examples
========

[](#examples)

The first step is to set your API key (optionally also load autoload.php):

Use the Lookup API
------------------

[](#use-the-lookup-api)

The lookup API is currently only supported for NL and LU. See: [Lookup API documentation](https://apicheck.nl/documentation/lookup-api/)

```
use ApiCheck\Api\ApiClient;

require "./vendor/autoload.php";

$apicheckClient = new ApiClient();
$apicheckClient->setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
```

Use the Lookup API

```
$address = $apicheckClient->lookup('nl', ['postalcode' => '2513AA', 'number' => 1]);
// Do something with the result:
print("🥳 Yay! We have a result: \n $address->street $address->number \n $address->postalcode $address->city \n {$address->Country->name}");
```

Use the Search API
------------------

[](#use-the-search-api)

The search API is currently supported for NL, BE, LU and FR. See: [Search API documentation](https://apicheck.nl/documentation/normalised-search-api/)

```
$results = $apicheckClient->search('be', 'city', ['name' => 'Namur']);
```

This will return an array with the search results

Exceptions
----------

[](#exceptions)

The ApiCheck client uses custom Exceptions to handle failure responses:

```
use ApiCheck\Api\ApiClient;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\NotFoundException;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\ValidationException;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\UnsupportedCountryException;

try {
    $address = $apicheckClient->lookup('nl', ['postalcode' => '2513AA', 'number' => 1]);
} catch (NotFoundException $e) {
    // No results have been found using the supplied data
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    // One of the submitted fields is not valid or set
} catch (UnsupportedCountryException $e) {
    // The given country-code is not supported
}
```

More examples can be found in the examples directory.
