Read the [api.stopforumspam.com usage guide](https://www.stopforumspam.com/usage) first if unfamiliar.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- [create client](https://github.com/webignition/sfs-client/blob/master/docs/creating-a-client.md)
- optionally [create a request](https://github.com/webignition/sfs-client/blob/master/docs/creating-a-request.md)if not using a single-value convenience method
- [query](https://github.com/webignition/sfs-client/blob/master/docs/querying.md) for results
- understand and analyse results

Quick Usage Example
-------------------

[](#quick-usage-example)

```
use webignition\SfsClient\Client;
use webignition\SfsResultInterfaces\ResultInterface;

$client = new Cient();

// Query against a single email address
$result = $client->queryEmail('user@example.com');

// $result will be NULL if the HTTP request to query api.stopforumspam.com failed for any reason

if ($result instanceof ResultInterface) {
    $result->getType();                 // 'email', 'emailHash', 'ip' or 'username'
    $result->getFrequency();            // int
    $result->getAppears();              // bool
    $result->getValue();                // the email address, email hash, IP address or username
    $result->getLastSeen()              // \DateTime()|null
    $result->getConfidence()            // float|null
    $result->getDelegatedCountryCode(); // string|null
    $result->getCountryCode();          // string|null
    $result->getAsn();                  // int|null
    $result->isBlacklisted();           // bool
    $result->isTorExitNode();           // bool|null
}
```

Understanding and Analysing Results
-----------------------------------

[](#understanding-and-analysing-results)

You probably want to know if a given email address/IP address/username can be trusted to perform an operation within your application.

```
use webignition\SfsResultAnalyser\Analyser;
use webignition\SfsResultInterfaces\ResultInterface;

// We're assuming that $result is a ResultInterface object.

$analyser = new Analyser();

// Does a given result indicate that the entity is not to be trusted?
$analyser->isUntrustworthy($result));
// returns true or false

// Is a given result's entity trustworthy?
// Return a float between 0 (do not trust) and 1 (probably can be trusted)
$trustworthiness = $analyser->calculateTrustworthiness($result);
```
