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:

el.cloud.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.json file 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/ 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 Open in 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 Settings from File menu.

Select PHP from 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 using phpunit --verbose instead.

You can change the PHPUnit test configuration in the phpunit.xml file.

Initialization

Authentication

In order to setup authentication and initialization of the API client, you need the following information.

Parameter	Description
basicAuthUserName	The username to use with basic authentication
basicAuthPassword	The password to use with basic authentication

API client can be initialized as following.

$basicAuthUserName = 'basicAuthUserName'; // The username to use with basic authentication

$client = new UnifonicNextGenLib\UnifonicNextGenClient($basicAuthUserName, $basicAuthPassword);
