PHP Integration

This guide shows how to integrate TxnCheck API into your PHP application.

Installation

Using Guzzle (Recommended)

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Using cURL

cURL is built into PHP, no installation needed.

Basic Client Setup (Guzzle)

<?php

Usage Examples

Async Mode (Default)

<?php

$client = new TxnCheckClient('fb_your_api_key_here');

// Submit request
$response = $client->upiByMobile('+919876543210');
echo "Request ID: {$response['requestId']}\n";

// Poll for result
$result = $client->waitForResult($response['requestId']);
echo "Status: {$result['status']}\n";
echo "UPI addresses: " . implode(', ', $result['result']['upi']) . "\n";

Sync Mode

<?php

// Get result immediately (waits up to 30 seconds)
$result = $client->upiByMobile('+919876543210', sync: true);

if ($result['status'] === 'COMPLETED') {
    echo "Name: {$result['result']['name']}\n";
    echo "UPI addresses: " . implode(', ', $result['result']['upi']) . "\n";
}

Full Check

<?php

$result = $client->fullCheck('+919876543210', sync: true);

if ($result['status'] === 'COMPLETED') {
    // UPI data
    $upiData = $result['result']['upiByMobile'];
    echo "Name: {$upiData['name']}\n";
    echo "VPAs: " . implode(', ', $upiData['upi']) . "\n";
    
    // KYC data
    $kycData = $result['result']['kycByMobile'];
    echo "PAN: {$kycData['pan']}\n";
    echo "DOB: {$kycData['dob']}\n";
    
    // Blocklist status
    $blocklist = $result['result']['vpaChargebackCheck'];
    echo "Blocklisted: {$blocklist['summary']['blocklisted']}\n";
}

VPA Blocklist Check

<?php

$vpas = ['user1@upi', 'user2@paytm', 'suspicious@ybl'];
$result = $client->vpaChargebackCheck($vpas, sync: true);

if ($result['status'] === 'COMPLETED') {
    // Blocklisted VPAs
    foreach ($result['result']['blocklisted'] as $vpa) {
        echo "⚠️ BLOCKED: {$vpa['vpa']}\n";
    }
    
    // Clean VPAs
    foreach ($result['result']['clean'] as $vpa) {
        echo "✓ Clean: {$vpa['vpa']}\n";
    }
}

Error Handling

<?php

class TxnCheckException extends \Exception
{
    public string $errorType;

    public function __construct(string $message, int $code, string $errorType)
    {
        parent::__construct($message, $code);
        $this->errorType = $errorType;
    }
}

// Usage with retry logic
function verifyWithRetry(TxnCheckClient $client, string $mobile, int $maxRetries = 3): array
{
    $lastError = null;

    for ($attempt = 1; $attempt <= $maxRetries; $attempt++) {
        try {
            return $client->upiByMobile($mobile, sync: true);
        } catch (TxnCheckException $e) {
            $lastError = $e;
            
            // Don't retry client errors (except rate limit)
            if ($e->getCode() >= 400 && $e->getCode() < 500 && $e->getCode() !== 429) {
                throw $e;
            }
            
            // Exponential backoff
            $delay = min(pow(2, $attempt - 1), 10);
            echo "Retry {$attempt}/{$maxRetries} in {$delay}s...\n";
            sleep($delay);
        }
    }

    throw $lastError;
}

// Usage
try {
    $result = verifyWithRetry($client, '+919876543210');
    echo "Verified: {$result['result']['name']}\n";
} catch (TxnCheckException $e) {
    echo "Error ({$e->getCode()}): {$e->getMessage()}\n";
}

Webhook Signature Verification

<?php

function verifyWebhookSignature(
    string $payload,
    string $signature,
    string $timestamp,
    string $secretKey,
    int $maxAgeSeconds = 300
): bool {
    // Check timestamp freshness
    $webhookTime = (int) $timestamp;
    $currentTime = (int) (microtime(true) * 1000);
    $ageMs = $currentTime - $webhookTime;

    if ($ageMs > $maxAgeSeconds * 1000) {
        return false; // Webhook too old
    }

    // Compute expected signature
    $message = "{$timestamp}.{$payload}";
    $expected = hash_hmac('sha256', $message, $secretKey);

    // Constant-time comparison
    return hash_equals($expected, $signature);
}

// Laravel example
Route::post('/webhook/fraud-buster', function (Request $request) {
    $signature = $request->header('X-Webhook-Signature');
    $timestamp = $request->header('X-Webhook-Timestamp');
    $secretKey = config('services.txncheck.webhook_secret');

    if (!verifyWebhookSignature(
        $request->getContent(),
        $signature,
        $timestamp,
        $secretKey
    )) {
        return response()->json(['error' => 'Invalid signature'], 401);
    }

    $data = $request->json();
    $event = $data['event'];

    switch ($event) {
        case 'request.completed':
            // Handle completed request
            $requestId = $data['data']['requestId'];
            Log::info("Request completed: {$requestId}");
            break;
            
        case 'request.failed':
            // Handle failed request
            Log::error("Request failed: {$data['data']['requestId']}");
            break;
    }

    return response()->json(['status' => 'ok']);
});

Laravel Service Provider

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\Services\TxnCheckClient;

class TxnCheckServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register(): void
    {
        $this->app->singleton(TxnCheckClient::class, function ($app) {
            return new TxnCheckClient(
                apiKey: config('services.txncheck.api_key'),
                secretKey: config('services.txncheck.secret_key'),
                baseUrl: config('services.txncheck.base_url', 'https://api.txncheck.in/api/v1')
            );
        });
    }
}

// config/services.php
return [
    'txncheck' => [
        'api_key' => env('FRAUD_BUSTER_API_KEY'),
        'secret_key' => env('FRAUD_BUSTER_SECRET_KEY'),
