Submit the Job to Smile ID

You can copy the sample code below and edit with your partner and job details.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

// Initialize
$partner_id = "<Put your partner ID here>"; // login to the Smile ID portal to view your partner id
$default_callback = "<Put your default callback here>"; //callback is only required if you are running an asynchronous job
$api_key = "<Put your API key here>"; // copy your API key from the Smile ID portal
$sid_server = "<0 or 1>"; // Use '0' for the sandbox server, use '1' for production server

$connection = new IdApi(
    $partner_id,
    $default_callback,
    $api_key,
    $sid_server
);

// Create required tracking parameters
$partner_params = array(
    'job_id' => "<put your unique job ID here>",
    'user_id' => "<put your unique ID for the user here>",
    'job_type' => 5
);

// Create ID info
$id_info = array(
    'first_name' => "<name>",
    'middle_name' => "<middle>",
    'last_name' => "<surname>",
    'country' => "<2-letter country code>",
    'id_type' => "<id type>",
    'id_number' => "<valid id number>", // Always required
    'dob' => "<date of birth>", // yyyy-mm-dd
    'entered' => "true" // MUST BE A STRING
);

// Set the options for the job
$options = array(
    'use_async' => <true | false>, // Set to true if you want to run the job asynchronously, you will be required to provide a callback in the $default_callback variable above
    'signature' => true
);

// Submit the job
// This method returns a json array
$result = $connection->submit_job($partner_params, $id_info, $options);
