Koko Keyword PHP Client
=======================

[](#koko-keyword-php-client)

A php client for the [Koko Keywords API](https://developers.kokocares.org). The client handles caching to ensure very low latency.

Install
-------

[](#install)

### Ensure that php ffi module is installed

[](#ensure-that-php-ffi-module-is-installed)

In php.ini make the extention is enabled:

```
extension=ffi

```

### Install php module

[](#install-php-module)

Install the module

```
composer require koko/koko-keywords

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Set the `KOKO_KEYWORDS_AUTH` environment to the authentication string provided by Koko. To get an api key, complete our [sign up form](https://r.kokocares.org/api_signup).

```
export KOKO_KEYWORDS_AUTH=username:password

```

Import the module

```
include 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Koko\Keywords;

$koko_keywords = new Keywords();
```

You may need to set the environment variable in PHP depending on your setup:

```
include 'vendor/autoload.php';

putenv("KOKO_KEYWORDS_AUTH=username:password")
use Koko\Keywords;

$koko_keywords = new Keywords();
```

It's recommended to instantiate this once to minimize the overhead of loading the library.

Then use the `match` function to check whether a query prompt matches a risky keyword. The function returns a `bool` indicating whether there was a match or not. The function will raise an exception if there is an issue.

```
if ($koko_keywords->match("some value", "") {
  // Code if there is a match
}
```

There is one optional params, `filter`, set it to the empty string if you are not using it.

### Filter

[](#filter)

Filter the keyword based on the taxonomy using a colon delimited list of “dimension=value” filters. Omitting a dimension does not filter by that dimension e.g.

```
$koko_keywords->match("sewerslide", "category=eating,parenting:confidence=1,2")
```

This matches "sewerslide" against eating eating and parenting, with a confidence of 1 and 2 and any intensity (as intensity was omitted).

Performance
-----------

[](#performance)

The underlying library is written in Rust and cross-compiled to the four major CPU targets. Regexes are cached based on the cache expiration headers (currently set to an hour). This ensures very low latency and overhead (< 1μs/req).

Error Handling
--------------

[](#error-handling)

The `match` function raises an exception if there is an issue.

Logging
-------

[](#logging)

Minimal log messages are logged to STDERR
