Sift Bindings

Installation

With Composer

1. Add siftscience/sift-php as a composer dependency

composer require siftscience/sift-php

2. Now SiftClient will be autoloaded into your project.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$sift = new SiftClient([
    'api_key' => 'my_api_key',
    'account_id' => 'my_account_id'
]);

// or

Sift::setApiKey('my_api_key');
Sift::setAccountId('my_account_id');
$sift = new SiftClient();

Manually

1. Download the latest release.

2. Extract into a folder in your project root named "sift-php".

3. Include SiftClient in your project like this:

   require 'sift-php/lib/SiftRequest.php';
   require 'sift-php/lib/SiftResponse.php';
   require 'sift-php/lib/SiftClient.php';
   require 'sift-php/lib/Sift.php';
   
   
   $sift = new SiftClient([
       'api_key' => 'my_api_key',
       'account_id' => 'my_account_id'
   ]);

Contributing

Run the tests from the project root with PHPUnit like this:

composer update
composer exec phpunit -v -- --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php test

Updating Packagist

1. Update composer.json to reflect the new version, as well as any new requirements then merge changes into master.

2. Create a new release with the version number and use it as the description. Packagist will automatically deploy a new package via the configured webhook.

HTTP connection pooling

You can substantially improve the performance of SiftClient by using HTTP connection pooling. Because standard PHP/fastcgi deployments don't have a mechanism for persisting connections between requests, the easiest way to pool connections is by routing requests through a proxy like Apache httpd or nginx.

Apache httpd

Listen 8081

...

LoadModule proxy_module .../mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module .../mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule ssl_module .../mod_ssl.so

<VirtualHost localhost:8081>
    ServerName api.sift.com
    SSLProxyEngine on
    SSLProxyVerify require
    SSLProxyVerifyDepth 3
    SSLProxyCACertificateFile ...
    ProxyPass / https://api.sift.com/
</VirtualHost>

nginx

# Read more about nginx keepalive: https://www.nginx.com/blog/tuning-nginx/#keepalive
upstream sift {
    server api.sift.com:443;
    keepalive 16;
}

server {
    listen localhost:8081;
    server_name api.sift.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass https://sift;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Connection "";
        proxy_ssl_verify on;
        proxy_ssl_verify_depth 3;
        proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate ...;
        proxy_ssl_name api.sift.com;
        proxy_ssl_server_name on;
    }
}

For Debian-based distributions, the certificate file is /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Then, instantiate SiftClient to route requests through the proxy:

$sift = new SiftClient([
    'api_key' => 'my_api_key',
    'account_id' => 'my_account_id',
    'api_endpoint' => 'http://api.sift.com',
    'curl_opts' => [CURLOPT_CONNECT_TO => ['api.sift.com:80:localhost:8081']],
]);

Integration testing app

For testing the app with real calls it is possible to run the integration testing app, it makes calls to almost all our public endpoints to make sure the library integrates well. At the moment, the app is run on every merge to master

How to run it locally

1. Add env variable ACCOUNT_ID with the valid account id
2. Add env variable API_KEY with the valid Api Key associated from the account
3. Run the following under the project root folder

# install the lib from the local source code
composer install -n
# run the app
php test_integration_app/main.php
