PHP Implementation of the Watupay API

License: MIT

This package provides an expressive and convenient way to interact with the Watupay API

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require digikraaft/watupay-php

Usage

All APIs documented in Watupay's Documentation are currently supported by this package. Using the individual API follows a general convention so that it can be simple and predictable.

<?php 

{API_NAME}::{API_END_POINT}();

Before this, the API key needs to be set. For example, to access the watubill/channels endpoint,

<?php 

include_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Digikraaft\Watupay\Watupay;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Bill;

Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');
$bills = Bill::list();

You can easily pass parameters to be sent as arguments to the API_END_POINT method like this:

<?php

include_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Digikraaft\Watupay\Watupay;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Bill;

Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');

$params = [
    'is_favourite' => 0,
    'country' => 'NG',
    'group' => 'others'
];

$bills = Bill::list($params);

This also applies to POST requests.

For endpoints that require path parameters like the fetch bill with the request channel/info/bill_id, simply pass in a string into the API_END_POINT like this:

<?php

include_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Digikraaft\Watupay\Watupay;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Bill;

Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');
$bill = Bill::fetch('bill-07');

There are a few exceptions to the API_END_POINT convention. Details of these are contained in here.

This package returns the exact response from the Watupay API but as the stdClass type such that responses can be accessed like this:

<?php

include_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Digikraaft\Watupay\Watupay;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Bill;

Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');
$bill = Bill::fetch('bill-07');

if (! $bill->has_error) {
    echo $bill->data->name;
}

Exception Handling

To handle API exceptions, use the Digikraaft\Watupay\Exceptions\ApiErrorException class like this:

<?php

include_once('vendor/autoload.php');

use Digikraaft\Watupay\Watupay;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Bill;
use Digikraaft\Watupay\Exceptions\ApiErrorException;

Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');
try{
    Watupay::setApiKey('WTP-T-SK-abcd1234abcd');
    $bill = Bill::fetch('bill-07');
    
    if (! $bill->has_error) {
        echo $bill->data->name;
    }
}catch(ApiErrorException $exception){
    echo $exception->getMessage();
}

Data Encryption

To encrypt sensitive data before sending to the API, use the WatupayEncryption::encrypt($data, $key, $iv, $blockSize, $mode) method
