Transaction

The Transaction class represents a transaction in the News Ladder system. Use it to verify and manage transactions.

Example:

This object ist a transaction object. This key values are necessary for the Transaction HTTP Request.

{
    "domain":           "The domain from the 'become publisher' process",
    "magazineKey":      "The magazine key from the 'become publisher' process",
    "name":             "The name of the article, e.g., article title",
    "url":              "The URL of the article",
    "articleEID":       "The external page ID; can be a string or any identifier related to the article",
    "checkoutToken":    "The token from the URL's GET parameter"
}

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

use NewsLadder\PublisherSDK\Transaction;

$payload = [
    'domain' => "example.com",
    'url' => "https://example.com/article",
    'name' => "Example Magazine",
    'articleEID' => "12345",
    'magazineKey' => "MAG123",
    'checkoutToken' => "TOKEN123",
];

$transaction = new Transaction($payload);

$response = $transaction->verify();
print_r($response);

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