The DFC API is a Restful API which has been built to facilitate the ability to Setup/Ammend/Cancel & View Direct Debits with Debit Finance Collections Plc

[](#checking-api-credentials)

So you're probably wondering how using Unirest makes creating requests in PHP easier, let's look at a working example:

```
$dfcapi = new Dfcapi();
$response = $dfcapi->CheckApiKey('TEST-TEST-TEST-TEST','a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3');

var_dump($response); // API Credential Check Response (true or false)
```

### Extra Details

[](#extra-details)

When calling the API, additional details can be retrieved using the below methods:

```
$dfcapi = new Dfcapi();

$dfcapi->getErrors(); //Array of returned errors from the API Call

$dfcapi->getResponseCode(); //HTTP Response Code (200 = OK)

$dfcapi->getResponseBody(); //HTTP Response Body (Object)

$dfcapi->getResponseBodyRaw(); //HTTP Response Body (Raw)

$dfcapi->getResponseHeaders(); //HTTP Response Headers (Array)
```
