checkmobi-php

The official SDK for integrating with the CheckMobi API. CheckMobi is a service that provides affordable services like:

• Two-factor authentication via SMS, Missed Call, and IVR
• SMS API for marketing and transactional notifications.
• Voice API for creating custom IVRs.

This PHP SDK makes it easy for developers to add CheckMobi's features like SMS and Voice to their PHP apps without much hassle.

Requirements

In order to use the library you need to have available one of CURL or HTTP_Request2 extension:

Using CURL

php-curl
php-openssl

Using HTTP_Request2 :

pear install HTTP_Request2

The SDK initially checks for the CURL extension and then falls back to HTTP_Request2 if necessary. You can set the transport method using the constructor's options parameter.

Installation

The SDK can be installed using Composer:

composer require  checkmobi/checkmobi-php

Get started

Create the CheckMobiRest client

use checkmobi\CheckMobiRest;
$client = new CheckMobiRest("secret key here");

In case you want to change the default behaviours of the library you can use the options array properties:

Property	Default	Description
api.base_url	https://api.checkmobi.com	API endpoint.
api.version	v1	API endpoint version.
net.transport	RequestInterface::HANDLER_DEFAULT	Transport engine: RequestInterface::HANDLER_DEFAULT - will try to use CURL if available otherwise fallbacks to HTTP_Request2, RequestInterface::HANDLER_CURL will force to use CURL, if fails will trigger an exception, RequestInterface::HANDLER_HTTP2 will force HTTP_Request2 instantiation, if fails will trigger an exception.
net.timeout	30	Connection and request timeout in seconds.
net.ssl_verify_peer	true	Indicates if the server certificate is verified or not before transmitting any data.

Example

$client = new CheckMobiRest("secret key here", [
    "net.timeout" => 10, 
    "net.ssl_verify_peer" => false
]);

Resources

The SDK is a wrapper over the REST API described here. For all properties accepted by the following methods check the documentation.

// get list of countries & flags

$response = $client->GetCountriesList();

// get account details

$response = $client->GetAccountDetails();

// get prefixes

$response = $client->GetPrefixes();

// checking a number for being valid

$response = $client->CheckNumber(array("number" => "+number_here"));

// validate a number using "Missed call method". (type can be : sms, ivr, reverse_cli)

$response = $client->RequestValidation(array("type" => "reverse_cli", "number" => "+number_here"));

// verify a pin for a certain request

$response = $client->VerifyPin(array("id" => "request id here", "pin" => "5659"));

// check validation status for a certain request

$response = $client->ValidationStatus(array("id" => "request id here"));

// get remote config profile

$response = $client->GetRemoteConfigProfile(array("number" => "+number_here", "platform" => "android"));

// send a custom sms

$response = $client->SendSMS(array("to" => "+number_here", "text" => "message here"));

// get sms details

$response = $client->GetSmsDetails(array("id" => "sms id here"));

// place call

$params = [
    "from" => "+source_number_here", 
    "to" => "+destination_number_here", 
    "events" => [
        ["action" => "speak", "text" => "Hello world", "loop" => 2, "language" => "en-US"]
    ]
];
$response = $client->PlaceCall($params);

// get call details

$response = $client->GetCallDetails(array("id" => "call id here"));

// hangup call

$response = $client->HangUpCall(array("id" => "call id here"));

// perform HLR Lookup

$response = $client->HLRLookup(["number"=> "+number here"]);

// perform MNP Lookup

$response = $client->MNPLookup(["number"=> "+number here"]);

// perform number verification

$response = $client->VerifyLookup(["number"=> "+number here"]);

Response handling

The response it's an object of the CheckMobiResponse type which exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
is_success	boolean - returns if the response represents an error or not.
status_code	integer - the HTTP status code received.
payload	array or NULL - The json decoded response payload as received from the server.

Example

if($response->is_success()) {
    // success 
    print_r($response->payload());
}
else
{
    // failure
    print "error code: ".$response->payload()["code"]." error message: ".$response->payload()["error"];
}
