README

The official PHP library for integrating with the Onfido API.

Documentation can be found at https://documentation.onfido.com.

This version uses Onfido API v3.6. Refer to our API versioning guide for details of which client library versions use which versions of the API.

Installation & Usage

Requirements

PHP 7.4 and later. Should also work with PHP 8.0.

Installation

Composer

To install the bindings via Composer, add the following to composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/onfido/onfido-php.git"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "onfido/onfido-php": "*@dev"
  }
}

Then run composer install

Manual Installation

Download the files and include autoload.php:

<?php
require_once('/path/to/OpenAPIClient-php/vendor/autoload.php');

Getting Started

Please follow the installation procedure and then run the following:

<?php
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

$configuration = Onfido\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration();
$configuration->setApiToken($_ENV['ONFIDO_API_TOKEN']);
$configuration->setRegion(Onfido\Region::EU);   // Supports `EU`, `US` and `CA`

$onfidoApi = new Onfido\Api\DefaultApi(
              new \GuzzleHttp\Client([
                  'timeout'  => 30,
                  'connect_timeout' => 30,
                  'read_timeout' => 30
              ]), $configuration);

Making a call to the API

try {
  $applicant = $onfidoApi->createApplicant(
      new Onfido\Model\ApplicantBuilder(
          [
              'first_name' => 'First',
              'last_name' => 'Last'
          ])
  );

  // To access the information use the getter for the desired property on the object, for example:
  $applicant->getFirstName();

  // ...

} catch (Onfido\ApiException $ex) {
  // Handle API exception
  echo 'Caught exception: ',  $ex->getMessage(), "\n";
}

Webhook event verification

Webhook events payload needs to be verified before it can be accessed. Library allows to easily decode the payload and verify its signature before returning it as an object for user convenience:

try {
  $verifier = new Onfido\WebhookEventVerifier('_ABC123abc...3ABC123_');

  $signature = 'a0...760e';

  $event = $verifier->readPayload('{"payload":{"r...3"}}', $signature);
} catch (Onfido\OnfidoInvalidSignatureError $ex) {
  // Invalid webhook signature
}

For contributions to the tests instead, please follow the steps below:

Fork repository
Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
Make your changes
Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
Create a new Pull Request
