DiDiT Laravel Client

A Laravel client library for integrating with the DiDiT verification API (v3). This client handles authentication, session management, PDF report generation, and webhook processing.

Features

• 🔐 API key authentication (x-api-key), with a legacy OAuth2 fallback
• 🔄 Session management (create, retrieve, update) on the Didit v3 API
• 🧩 Workflow-based sessions (workflow_id)
• 📄 PDF report generation
• 🔗 Webhook processing with multiple signature schemes (V2, Simple, legacy)
• 📣 DiditWebhookReceived event for listener-based webhook handling
• 🛡️ Timing-attack-safe signature verification
• 🧯 Typed exception hierarchy (DiditException and friends)
• 📝 Comprehensive logging options

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require awaisjameel/didit-laravel-client

Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\DiditLaravelClientServiceProvider"

Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

# Authentication (recommended): grab your API key from https://business.didit.me
DIDIT_API_KEY=your-api-key

# Default workflow used when creating sessions (configured in the Didit console)
DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID=your-workflow-uuid

# Endpoints
DIDIT_BASE_URL=https://verification.didit.me
DIDIT_API_VERSION=v3

# Webhooks
DIDIT_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-webhook-secret

# Misc
DIDIT_TIMEOUT=10
DIDIT_DEBUG=false

# Legacy OAuth2 fallback — only needed if you are NOT using an API key
# DIDIT_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
# DIDIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
# DIDIT_AUTH_URL=https://apx.didit.me
# DIDIT_TOKEN_EXPIRY_BUFFER=300

Authentication: The current Didit API authenticates with a single API key sent in the x-api-key header — just set DIDIT_API_KEY. The legacy OAuth2 client_credentials flow is used automatically only when no API key is configured.

Usage

Basic Setup

use AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\Facades\DiditLaravelClient;
// or
use AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\DiditLaravelClient;

// Resolve the shared instance from the container (reads config/.env)
$client = app(DiditLaravelClient::class);

// Or call methods statically through the facade
DiditLaravelClient::createSession(/* ... */);

// Or create a new instance with custom configuration
$client = new DiditLaravelClient([
    'api_key' => 'your-api-key',
    // ... other config options
]);

Creating a Verification Session

A session is tied to a workflow (configured in the Didit console and identified by a UUID). Provide it via the workflow_id option, or set a default with DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID.

$session = $client->createSession(
    callbackUrl: 'https://your-app.com/verification/callback', // optional
    vendorData: 'user-123',                                    // optional
    options: [
        'workflow_id' => 'your-workflow-uuid', // falls back to DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID
        // Any other v3 session fields, e.g.:
        // 'callback_method' => 'both',
        // 'metadata' => json_encode(['plan' => 'pro']),
        // 'contact_details' => ['email' => 'jane@example.com'],
        // 'expected_details' => ['first_name' => 'Jane', 'last_name' => 'Doe'],
    ]
);

// The session response contains:
[
    'session_id' => 'xxx-xxx-xxx',
    'url' => 'https://verify.didit.me/session/xxx',
    // ...
]

If you set DIDIT_WORKFLOW_ID, you can simply call $client->createSession().

Retrieving Session Details

$sessionDetails = $client->getSession('session-id');

// Response contains the full verification decision:
[
    'session_id' => 'xxx-xxx-xxx',
    'status' => 'Approved',
    'id_verifications' => [/* ... */],
    'face_matches' => [/* ... */],
    // ... other decision data
]

Updating Session Status

$result = $client->updateSessionStatus(
    sessionId: 'session-id',
    newStatus: 'Approved', // 'Approved', 'Declined' or 'Resubmitted'
    comment: 'Verification approved by admin',
    options: [
        // Optional extra fields, e.g.:
        // 'send_email' => true,
        // 'email_address' => 'jane@example.com',
    ]
);

Generating PDF Reports

$pdfContent = $client->generateSessionPDF('session-id');

// Save to file
file_put_contents('verification-report.pdf', $pdfContent);

// Or return as download response
return response($pdfContent)
    ->header('Content-Type', 'application/pdf')
    ->header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="report.pdf"');

Handling Webhooks

Set up your webhook route in routes/web.php:

Route::post('didit/webhook', function (Request $request) {
    $payload = DiditLaravelClient::processWebhook($request);

    // Handle different webhook events by status / type
    match($payload['status'] ?? null) {
        'Approved' => handleApproved($payload),
        'Declined' => handleDeclined($payload),
        default => handleOther($payload)
    };

    return response()->json(['status' => 'processed']);
});

processWebhook() automatically tries every signature scheme Didit sends (x-signature-v2, x-signature-simple, then the legacy x-signature) and validates the request freshness using x-timestamp.

Listening for webhook events

After a webhook is verified, processWebhook() dispatches a DiditWebhookReceived event carrying the verified payload, so you can react in a listener instead of handling everything inline:

use AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\Events\DiditWebhookReceived;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;

Event::listen(function (DiditWebhookReceived $event) {
    match ($event->payload['status'] ?? null) {
        'Approved' => handleApproved($event->payload),
        'Declined' => handleDeclined($event->payload),
        default => handleOther($event->payload),
    };
});

Manual webhook signature verification:

$headers = [
    'x-signature' => $request->header('x-signature'),
    'x-signature-v2' => $request->header('x-signature-v2'),
    'x-signature-simple' => $request->header('x-signature-simple'),
    'x-timestamp' => $request->header('x-timestamp'),
];

try {
    $payload = $client->verifyWebhookSignature($headers, $request->getContent());
    // Process verified webhook payload
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // Handle invalid signature
    return response()->json(['error' => $e->getMessage()], 400);
}

Error Handling

The client throws a small, typed exception hierarchy so you can catch broadly or narrowly. Every package exception extends DiditException, which itself extends \Exception:

Invalid method arguments (e.g. an empty session id or an unknown status) throw \InvalidArgumentException.

use AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\Exceptions\DiditException;
use AwaisJameel\DiditLaravelClient\Exceptions\DiditRequestException;

try {
    $session = $client->createSession(/* ... */);
} catch (DiditRequestException $e) {
    // Inspect the HTTP response from Didit
    Log::error('DiDiT API Error', [
        'status' => $e->status(),
        'body' => optional($e->getResponse())->json(),
    ]);
} catch (DiditException $e) {
    // Any other DiDiT failure (config, auth, webhook, ...)
    Log::error('DiDiT Error: '.$e->getMessage());
}

Debugging

Enable debug mode in your configuration to get detailed logging:

// In your .env file
DIDIT_DEBUG=true

// Or in configuration
$client = new DiditLaravelClient([
    // ... other config
    'debug' => true
]);

Debug logs will include:

• API requests and responses
• Token management events
• Webhook processing details
• Error details

⚠️ Debug logs may contain PII. When DIDIT_DEBUG=true, verification payloads and API responses (which can include personal/identity data) are written to your application log. Keep debug mode off in production, or ensure your logs are access-controlled and retained appropriately.

Testing

The package includes comprehensive tests. Run them with:

composer test

Security

• All API requests use HTTPS
• Webhook signatures are verified using HMAC SHA-256 (V2, Simple and legacy schemes)
• Timing attack safe signature comparison
• API key sent via the x-api-key header. On the legacy OAuth fallback, access tokens are cached through Laravel's cache store (shared across requests/workers) and refreshed automatically before expiry
• Request timestamp validation (rejects stale webhooks older than 5 minutes)
