PHP API Reference

#Overview

The Magic admin PHP SDK is your entry-point to secure, passwordless authentication for your application. This guide will cover some important topics for getting started with the PHP SDK and to make the most of Magic's features.

#Getting Started

The Magic class is the entry-point to the Magic SDK. It must be instantiated with a Magic secret key.

#Installation

Bash
01composer require magiclabs/magic-admin-php

#Constructor

#new \MagicAdmin\Magic()

Parameter

Type

Definition

api_secret_key

str

Your secret API Key retrieved from the Magic Dashboard.

retries?

num

Total number of retries to allow.

timeout?

num

A period of time the request is going to wait for a response.

backoff_factor?

num

A backoff factor to apply between retry attempts.

#Initialization

PHP
01$magic = new \MagicAdmin\Magic(
02    '<SECRET_API_KEY>',
03    5,
04    5,
05    0.01,
06);

#Token Resource

The token resource and its methods are accessible on the Magic instance by the token attribute. It provides methods to interact with the DID Token.

note

The token resource does not make any API calls to the Magic server.

PHP
01$magic = new \MagicAdmin\Magic('<SECRET_API_KEY>');
02
03$magic->token
04$magic->token->get_issuer
05$magic->token->get_public_address
06$magic->token->decode
07$magic->token->validate

#get_issuer

Extracts the iss from the DID Token.

PHP
01token.get_issuer(did_token);

#Arguments

  • did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic User on the client-side

#Raises

  • DIDTokenException if the given DID Token is malformed

#Returns

  • A Decentralized ID (iss) of the Magic user who generated the DID Token

#get_public_address

Gets the cryptographic public address of the Magic User who generated the supplied DID Token.

PHP
01token.get_public_address(did_token);

#Arguments

  • did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic user on the client-side

#Raises

  • DIDTokenException if the given DID Token is malformed

#Returns

  • A public address of the Magic User who generated the DID Token. Currently, this value is associated with the Ethereum blockchain.

#decode

Decodes a DID Token from a Base64 string into a tuple of its individual components: proof and claim. This method allows you decode the DID Token and inspect the token. You can apply your own rules and validations on top of the current token.validate method.

PHP
01token.decode(did_token);

#Arguments

  • did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic user on the client-side

#Raises

  • DIDTokenException if the given DID Token is malformed

#Returns

  • proof (str): A digital signature that proves the validity of the given claim
  • claim (array): Unsigned data the user asserts. This should equal the proof after Elliptic Curve recovery. See Decentralized Token Specification for fields inside the claim.

#validate

Validates a DID token.

PHP
01token.validate(did_token);

#Arguments

  • did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic user on the client-side

#Raises

  • DIDTokenException if the given DID Token is invalid or malformed

#Returns

  • None

#User Resource

The user resource and its methods are accessible on the Magic instance by the user attribute. It provides methods to interact with the User.

PHP
01$magic = new \MagicAdmin\Magic('<SECRET_API_KEY>');
02
03$magic->user
04$magic->user->get_metadata_by_issuer
05$magic->user->get_metadata_by_public_address
06$magic->user->get_metadata_by_token
07$magic->user->logout_by_issuer
08$magic->user->logout_by_public_address
09$magic->user->logout_by_token

#get_metadata_by_issuer

Retrieves information about the user by the supplied iss from the DID Token. This method is useful if you store the iss with your user data, which is recommended.

PHP
01user.get_metadata_by_issuer(issuer);

#Arguments

  • issuer (str): The user's Decentralized ID, which can be parsed using token.get_issuer

#Raises

  • RateLimitingException: If you have sent too many requests within a given period of time

#Response and Error Handling

#Response

There is only one response object that will be returned from a successful API call.

#MagicResponse

This is the interface to interact Magic API responses. It will only be returned if the API request status code is between 200 (inclusive) and 300 (exclusive).

You will have access to the following attributes:

  • content (Array): Raw content returned by the API response
  • status_code (num): HTTP status code for the given request
  • data (Array): Parsed content
PHP
01MagicResponse->content
02MagicResponse->status_code
03MagicResponse->data

#Errors

The conventional HTTP response is adopted by the SDK. For the status code in:

  • 2XX - Indicates success
  • 4XX - Indicates client errors. Information provided to the SDK is invalid.
  • 5XX - Indicates server errors

Below is the error class inheritance which can help developers to programmatically handle the error cases.

#MagicException

This is the base class of all the Magic SDK errors.

PHP
01MagicException(message=null);

#DIDTokenException

Any DID Token related error. This can mean the given token is malformed or invalid.

#RequestException

This is the base class of all the Magic API request errors. This error class will provide details of unsuccessful API requests.

PHP
01RequestException(
02    $message=null,
03    $http_status=null,
04    $http_code=null,
05    $http_resp_data=null,

08    $http_request_params=null,
09    $http_request_data=null,
10    $http_method=null
11);
CodeErrorDescription
429RateLimitingExceptionToo many requests are submitted for a given period of time.
400BadRequestExceptionThe API requests might have missing required fields or bad inputs.
401AuthenticationExceptionThis means your API secret key is invalid.
403ForbiddenExceptionThis normally means the given API secret key doesn't have permission to perform the action on the given resources.
ApiExceptionThis is a generic API error that handlers other status codes that are not explicitly handled. Ex: 500 , 404 , etc.
ApiConnectionExceptionNetwork connection error. This normally means the connection between your application and Magic API server cannot be established.

#Error Handling

It is recommended to implement error handling for API responses.

PHP
01try{
02    // Make requests to Magic server.
03}
04catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\DIDTokenException $e) {
05    // throw the exception
06}
07catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\RateLimitingException $e) {
08    // throw the exception
09}
10catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\BadRequestException $e) {
11    // throw the exception
12}
13catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\AuthenticationException $e) {
14    // throw the exception
15}
16catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\ForbiddenException $e) {
17    // throw the exception
18}
19catch (\MagicAdmin\Exception\ApiException $e) {
