ApiCheck PHP Client

This is a PHP client for ApiCheck endpoints. ApiCheck helps you validate customer data.

Currently supported countries: The Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Requirements

• Register an account at ApiCheck Dashboard and select the appropriate subscription type.
• Create a new API key.

Installation

Use composer to install this package

$ composer require api-check/php-client:^1.0

{
  "require": {
    "api-check/php-client": "^1.0"
  }
}

Examples

The first step is to set your API key (optionally also load autoload.php):

Use the Lookup API

The lookup API is currently only supported for NL and LU. See: Lookup API documentation

use ApiCheck\Api\ApiClient;

require "./vendor/autoload.php";

$apicheckClient = new ApiClient();
$apicheckClient->setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");

Use the Lookup API

$address = $apicheckClient->lookup('nl', ['postalcode' => '2513AA', 'number' => 1]);
// Do something with the result:
print("🥳 Yay! We have a result: \n $address->street $address->number \n $address->postalcode $address->city \n {$address->Country->name}");

Use the Search API

The search API is currently supported for NL, BE, LU and FR. See: Search API documentation

$results = $apicheckClient->search('be', 'city', ['name' => 'Namur']);

This will return an array with the search results

Exceptions

The ApiCheck client uses custom Exceptions to handle failure responses:

use ApiCheck\Api\ApiClient;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\NotFoundException;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\ValidationException;
use ApiCheck\Api\Exceptions\UnsupportedCountryException;

try {
    $address = $apicheckClient->lookup('nl', ['postalcode' => '2513AA', 'number' => 1]);
} catch (NotFoundException $e) {
    // No results have been found using the supplied data
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    // One of the submitted fields is not valid or set
} catch (UnsupportedCountryException $e) {
    // The given country-code is not supported
}

More examples can be found in the examples directory.
