VisaLogic API Class

1. Introduction

This document holds the documentation for the Application Programming Interface of VisaLogic. This is a document in whom a technical language will be used and for which technical knowledge is required to implement.

2. Installation

2.1 Via Composer

Our API class is available through composer.

You can install our dependency using the following command:

composer require visalogic/api

In your project you should require composer's autoload.php file:

<?php
    require 'vendor/autoload.php';

2.2 Via Github

Our API class is also available on Github.

When you choose to install from Github you need to require all the files in src/ into your project.

3 Configuration

All our API classes are namespaces with VisaLogic.

3.1 Aquire an API key

You can aquire an API key via our backoffice.

3.2 Setting the API key

You can set the API key by passing it through the constructor:

$visalogic = new VisaLogic\Api('your-api-key');

4 Available methods

4.1 Get your orders

You can request your orders by calling the getOrders(); method. This will get your last 15 orders.

$visalogic->getOrders();

The orders are paginated. To request your next 15 orders you can provide a pagenumber as the first argument.

$visalogic->getOrders($page = 2);

4.2 Get an order

To request an order and it's details, you can make a call to the getOrder(); method. With as parameter it's id.

$visalogic->getOrder($id = 1);

4.3 Creating an order

To create an order you can call the createOrder(); method. This will return an new VisaLogic\Resources\Order instance.

By passing the order details in an array as argument, the properties on the Order instance will be set for you.

$order = $visalogic->createOrder([
    'email'                   => 'johndoe@example.com',
    'phone_number'            => '31' . '12345678',
    'addressee'               => 'John Doe',
    'addressline'             => 'Examplestreet 1',
    'addressline_1'           => '1234 AB City',
    'country'                 => 'NL',
    'customer_purchase_price' => 25,
    'order_created'           => 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
    'remote_name'             => 'Order 1' // optional
]);

Then you can add an application to the order by calling the addApplication(); method on the Order object:

$order->addApplication([
    'firstnames'           => 'John',
    'lastnames'            => 'Doe',
    'date_of_birth'        => '1990-01-01',
    'place_of_birth'       => 'City',
    'nationality'          => 'NL',
    'document_type'        => 'passport',
    'document_number'      => 'AA1BBBB22',
    'document_issue_date'  => '2010-01-01',
    'document_expire_date' => '2020-01-02',
    'visa_start_date'      => 'YYYY-MM-DD' // This date has to be after yesterday
]);

nationality can be either NL or BE, and document_type can be passport or id_card. For one order the all document_type values and visa_start_date values have to be the same. If this is not the case, please create two seprateo orders.

4.3 Submit the order

When you finished creating the order, you can send it to us by using the postOrder(); method which accepts the Order object as first parameter:

$visalogic->postOrder($order);

4.4 Get visa request status

You can request the status of a visa application by calling the following method, with the application_id:

$application_status = $visalogic->getStatus($application_id = 1);

This method will return one of the following strings:

• APPROVED Application has been approved
• PENDING Application is pending to be processed
• BUSY Application is being processed by visa supplier
• RECEIVING Waiting to receive the visa document
• REJECTED Application has been rejected

4.3 Get the visa document

4.3.1 Download PDF

If the application's status is APPROVED you can request the visa document by calling getVisa();

$visalogic->getVisa($application_id = 1);

This method will set headers for a pdf document to be downloaded and returns the visa document.
