Table of Contents

SDK Installation

The SDK relies on Composer to manage its dependencies.

To install the SDK and add it as a dependency to an existing composer.json file:

composer require "nkwa-pay/sdk"

SDK Example Usage

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Pay;

$sdk = Pay\Pay::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();



$response = $sdk->payments->get(
    id: 'b888f774-3e7c-4135-a18c-6b985523c4bc'
);

if ($response->payment !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

Name Type Scheme
apiKeyAuth apiKey API key

To authenticate with the API the apiKeyAuth parameter must be set when initializing the SDK. For example:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Pay;

$sdk = Pay\Pay::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();



$response = $sdk->payments->get(
    id: 'b888f774-3e7c-4135-a18c-6b985523c4bc'
);

if ($response->payment !== null) {
    // handle response
}

Available Resources and Operations

Available methods

operators

operators->availability

  • get - Check which operators and operations are currently available.

payments

  • get - Get the payment (collection or disbursement) with the specified ID.
  • collect - Collect a payment from a phone number.
  • disburse - Disburse a payment from your balance to a phone number.

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or throw an exception.

By default an API error will raise a Errors\APIException exception, which has the following properties:

Property Type Description
$message string The error message
$statusCode int The HTTP status code
$rawResponse ?\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface The raw HTTP response
$body string The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the get method throws the following exceptions:

Error Type Status Code Content Type
Errors\HttpError 401, 404 application/json
Errors\HttpError 500 application/json
Errors\APIException 4XX, 5XX */*

Example

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Pay;
use Pay\Models\Errors;

$sdk = Pay\Pay::builder()
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();

try {
    $response = $sdk->payments->get(
        id: 'b888f774-3e7c-4135-a18c-6b985523c4bc'
    );

    if ($response->payment !== null) {
        // handle response
    }
} catch (Errors\HttpErrorThrowable $e) {
    // handle $e->$container data
    throw $e;
} catch (Errors\HttpErrorThrowable $e) {
    // handle $e->$container data
    throw $e;
} catch (Errors\APIException $e) {
    // handle default exception
    throw $e;
}

Server Selection

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can be overridden globally using the setServerUrl(string $serverUrl) builder method when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

declare(strict_types=1);

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Pay;

$sdk = Pay\Pay::builder()
    ->setServerURL('https://api.staging.nkwapay.mynkwa.com')
    ->setSecurity(
        '<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>'
    )
    ->build();



$response = $sdk->payments->get(
    id: 'b888f774-3e7c-4135-a18c-6b985523c4bc'
);

if ($response->payment !== null) {
    // handle response
}
