README

A Symfony bundle for the ApiCheck API - address validation, search, and verification for 18 European countries.

Requirements

PHP 8.1+
Symfony 6.4+ | 7.0+
An ApiCheck API key (get one here)

Installation

composer require api-check/php-symfony-client

The bundle is auto-enabled by Symfony Flex.

Configuration

Add to your .env:

APICHECK_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

# Optional - required if your API key has "Allowed Hosts" configured
APICHECK_REFERER=https://yourdomain.com

Or create config/packages/apicheck.yaml:

apicheck:
    api_key: '%env(APICHECK_API_KEY)%'
    referer: '%env(APICHECK_REFERER)%'

Usage

Via Dependency Injection

use ApiCheck\Api\ApiClient;

class MyService
{
    public function __construct(
        private ApiClient $apiCheck
    ) {}
}

Global Search (Recommended)

The global search endpoint is the most powerful way to find addresses. It searches across streets, cities, and postal codes in one query with powerful filtering options.

// Basic search - finds streets, cities, and postal codes
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('nl', 'Amsterdam', ['limit' => 10]);

foreach ($results->Results as $result) {
    echo "{$result->name} ({$result->type})\n";
}
// Output:
// Amsterdam (city)
// Amsterdamsestraat (street)
// 1012LM (postalcode)

// Filter by city - only return results within a specific city
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('nl', 'Dam', [
    'city_id' => 2465,
    'limit' => 10
]);

// Filter by street - only return results on a specific street  
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('nl', '1', [
    'street_id' => 12345,
    'limit' => 10
]);

// Filter by postal code area
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('nl', 'A', [
    'postalcode_id' => 54321,
    'limit' => 10
]);

// Belgium: filter by locality (deelgemeente)
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('be', 'Hoofd', [
    'locality_id' => 111,
    'limit' => 10
]);

// Belgium: filter by municipality (gemeente)
$results = $this->apiCheck->globalSearch('be', 'Station', [
    'municipality_id' => 222,
    'limit' => 10
]);

Global Search Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
country	string	Country code (nl, be, lu, de, fr, cz, fi, it, no, pl, pt, ro, es, ch, at, dk, gb, se)
query	string	Search term (street name, city name, or postal code)
limit	int	Maximum results (default: 10)
city_id	int	Filter results to a specific city
street_id	int	Filter results to a specific street
postalcode_id	int	Filter results to a specific postal code area
locality_id	int	Filter results to a specific locality (Belgium)
municipality_id	int	Filter results to a specific municipality (Belgium)

Result Types

Results include a type field indicating what was matched:

city - City/municipality
street - Street name
postalcode - Postal code area

Address Lookup (Netherlands & Luxembourg)

For exact address lookup by postal code and house number:

// Basic lookup
$address = $this->apiCheck->lookup('nl', [
    'postalcode' => '1012LM',
    'number' => '1'
]);
echo $address->street;  // Damrak
echo $address->city;    // Amsterdam

// With number addition (apartment/suite)
$address = $this->apiCheck->lookup('nl', [
    'postalcode' => '1012LM',
    'number' => '1',
    'numberAddition' => 'A'
]);

// Get available number additions for an address
$additions = $this->apiCheck->getNumberAdditions('nl', '1012LM', '1');
print_r($additions->numberAdditions);  // ['A', 'B', '1-3']

Individual Search Endpoints

For targeted searches when you know exactly what you're looking for:

// Search cities
$cities = $this->apiCheck->search('nl', 'city', ['name' => 'Amsterdam', 'limit' => 10]);

// Search streets
$streets = $this->apiCheck->search('nl', 'street', ['name' => 'Damrak', 'limit' => 10]);
$streets = $this->apiCheck->search('nl', 'street', ['name' => 'Dam', 'city_id' => 2465, 'limit' => 10]);

// Search postal codes
$postalcodes = $this->apiCheck->search('nl', 'postalcode', ['name' => '1012', 'limit' => 10]);

// Search localities (Belgium primarily)
$localities = $this->apiCheck->searchLocality('be', 'Antwerpen', ['limit' => 10]);

// Search municipalities (Belgium primarily)
$municipalities = $this->apiCheck->searchMunicipality('be', 'Antwerpen', ['limit' => 10]);

// Resolve full address using IDs from other searches
$addresses = $this->apiCheck->searchAddress('nl', [
    'city_id' => 2465,
    'number' => '1',
    'numberAddition' => 'A',
    'limit' => 10
]);

Verification

// Verify email
$result = $this->apiCheck->verifyEmail('test@example.com');
echo $result->status;          // valid, invalid, or unknown
echo $result->disposable_email; // true if disposable
echo $result->greylisted;       // true if greylisted

// Verify phone number
$result = $this->apiCheck->verifyPhone('+31612345678');
echo $result->valid;           // true if valid number
echo $result->country_code;    // NL

Supported Countries

Tips

Use Global Search first - It's the most flexible and covers all use cases
Filter for precision - Use city_id, street_id, etc. to narrow down results
Chain searches - Use Search City to get a city_id, then use it in Global Search or Search Address
Belgium addresses - Use locality_id and municipality_id filters for precise results
