Introduction
Send SMS messages using Unifonic Messaging API. Get your dedicated Universal number, and start sending messages today.
Unifonic NextGen Restful and HTTP API's uses The basic Authentication protocol. All request and response bodies are formatted in JSON.
Get an account
To start using the API you need to send an email to Unifonic to create Appsid for you.
Base URL
All URLs referenced in the documentation have the following base:
basic.unifonic.com
Security
To ensure privacy we recommend you to use HTTPS for all Unifonic API requests. you can download our HTTPS certificate.
[Download] (https://api.unifonic.com/udm/https.zip)
Formats
Unifonic API only supports JSON format. All request must use the Content-type header set to application/json.

How to Build
The generated code has dependencies over external libraries like UniRest. These dependencies are defined in the `
composer.jsonfile that comes with the SDK.
To resolve these dependencies, we use the Composer package manager which requires PHP greater than 5.3.2 installed in your system.
Visit [https://getcomposer.org/download/](https://getcomposer.org/download/) to download the installer file for Composer and run it in your system.
Open command prompt and type
composer --version`
. This should display the current version of the Composer installed if the installation was successful.
- Using command line, navigate to the directory containing the generated files (including
`
composer.json`
) for the SDK. - Run the command
`
composer install`
. This should install all the required dependencies and create the`
vendor`
directory in your project directory.
[For Windows Users Only] Configuring CURL Certificate Path in php.ini
CURL used to include a list of accepted CAs, but no longer bundles ANY CA certs. So by default it will reject all SSL certificates as unverifiable. You will have to get your CA's cert and point curl at it. The steps are as follows:
- Download the certificate bundle (.pem file) from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html on to your system.
- Add curl.cainfo = "PATH_TO/cacert.pem" to your php.ini file located in your php installation. “PATH_TO” must be an absolute path containing the .pem file.
[curl]
; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an
; absolute path.
;curl.cainfo =
How to Use
The following section explains how to use the UnifonicNextGen library in a new project.
1. Open Project in an IDE
Open an IDE for PHP like PhpStorm. The basic workflow presented here is also applicable if you prefer using a different editor or IDE.
Click on `
Openin PhpStorm to browse to your generated SDK directory and then click
OK`
.
2. Add a new Test Project
Create a new directory by right clicking on the solution name as shown below:
Name the directory as "test"
Add a PHP file to this project
Name it "testSDK"
Depending on your project setup, you might need to include composer's autoloader in your PHP code to enable auto loading of classes.
require_once "../vendor/autoload.php";
It is important that the path inside require_once correctly points to the file `
autoload.php`
inside the vendor directory created during dependency installations.
After this you can add code to initialize the client library and acquire the instance of a Controller class. Sample code to initialize the client library and using controller methods is given in the subsequent sections.
3. Run the Test Project
To run your project you must set the Interpreter for your project. Interpreter is the PHP engine installed on your computer.
Open `
Settingsfrom
File`
menu.
Select `
PHPfrom within
Languages & Frameworks`
Browse for Interpreters near the `
Interpreter`
option and choose your interpreter.
Once the interpreter is selected, click `
OK`
To run your project, right click on your PHP file inside your Test project and click on `
Run`
How to Test
Unit tests in this SDK can be run using PHPUnit.
- First install the dependencies using composer including the
require-dev
dependencies. - Run
vendor\bin\phpunit --verbose
from commandline to execute tests. If you have installed PHPUnit globally, run tests usingphpunit --verbose
instead.
You can change the PHPUnit test configuration in the phpunit.xml
file.
