The DFC API is a Restful API which has been built to facilitate the ability to Setup/Ammend/Cancel & View Direct Debits with Debit Finance Collections Plc
If you're using Composer to manage dependencies, you can the DFC API Client Library with it.
{
"require" : {
"dfcplc/dfcapi-php" : "dev-master"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-0": {"Dfcapi": "lib/"}
}
}
The DFCAPI-PHP Client Library requires PHP v5.3+
. Download the PHP library from Github, and require in your script like so:
To install the source code:
$ git clone git@github.com:dfcplc/dfcapi-php.git
And include it in your scripts:
require_once '/path/to/dfcapi-php/lib/Dfcapi.php';
So you're probably wondering how using Unirest makes creating requests in PHP easier, let's look at a working example:
$dfcapi = new Dfcapi();
$response = $dfcapi->CheckApiKey('TEST-TEST-TEST-TEST','a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3');
var_dump($response); // API Credential Check Response (true or false)
When calling the API, additional details can be retrieved using the below methods:
$dfcapi = new Dfcapi();
$dfcapi->getErrors(); //Array of returned errors from the API Call
$dfcapi->getResponseCode(); //HTTP Response Code (200 = OK)
$dfcapi->getResponseBody(); //HTTP Response Body (Object)
$dfcapi->getResponseBodyRaw(); //HTTP Response Body (Raw)
$dfcapi->getResponseHeaders(); //HTTP Response Headers (Array)
