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

[](#requirements)

- PHP **8.1+**
- Guzzle **6.5+** or **7.2+**

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require baikho/loqate-php
```

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Create a client with your Loqate API key, then use the product entry points as **read-only properties** (`$client->address`, `$client->geocoding`, `$client->email`, `$client->phone`, `$client->bankAccount`):

```
use Baikho\Loqate\Loqate;

$client = new Loqate('your-api-key');

$result = $client->address->find('SW1A 1AA');
```

The same entry points are also available as **methods** (`$client->address()`, `$client->geocoding()`, and so on). Both styles return a new handler each time.

All examples below use property access and assume `$client` is already constructed as shown.

Address verification
--------------------

[](#address-verification)

Supported endpoints:

APIVersionLoqate docsCapture Find`v1.20`[Address capture - Find](https://docs.loqate.com/api-reference/address-capture/find)Capture Retrieve`v1.30`[Address capture - Retrieve](https://docs.loqate.com/api-reference/address-capture/retrieve)**Find (search):**

```
$result = $client->address->find('foo');
```

**Find with full control** (extra query parameters):

```
use Baikho\Loqate\Address\Find;

$result = new Find('your-api-key')
    ->setText('foo')
    ->setIsMiddleWare(true)
    ->setContainer('bar')
    ->setCountries('NL')
    ->makeRequest();
```

**Retrieve** by Loqate id:

```
$result = $client->address->retrieve('GB|RM|B|12345678');
```

**Retrieve with full control**:

```
use Baikho\Loqate\Address\Retrieve;

$result = new Retrieve('your-api-key')
    ->setId('GB|RM|B|12345678')
    ->makeRequest();
```

```
$result = $client->geocoding->directions('381600,259400', '380600,25840');
$result = $client->geocoding->directions('51.4733514399,-0.00088499646', '51.492914695,-0.1215161806');
$result = $client->geocoding->directions('SE10 8XJ', 'SW1A 0AA');
```

**International geocode** - country as ISO-2 or ISO-3; location can be postal code, place name, or Loqate id:

```
$result = $client->geocoding->geocode('GB', 'London');
```

**UK find / geocode / retrieve** - full or partial postcode, place name, or `street, town` style text:

```
$result = $client->geocoding->ukFind('London');
$result = $client->geocoding->ukGeocode('London');
$result = $client->geocoding->ukRetrieve('GB|RM|B|12345678');
```

**UK reverse geocode** - centre point as postcode or coordinates (latitude/longitude or easting/northing):

```
$result = $client->geocoding->ukReverseGeocode('51.4733514399,-0.00088499646');
