Power your apps with our MTN MoMo API
You are required to have PHP 5.4.0 and later.
You can install the bindings via Composer. Run the following command:
composer require sparkplug/momoapi-php
To use the bindings, use Composer's autoload:
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the latest release. Then, to use the bindings, include the init.php
file.
require_once('/path/to/momoapi-php/init.php');
The bindings require the following extensions in order to work properly:
If you use Composer, these dependencies should be handled automatically. If you install manually, you'll want to make sure that these extensions are available.
Next, we need to get the User ID
and User Secret
and to do this we shall need to use the Primary Key for the Product to which we are subscribed, as well as specify a host. The library ships with a commandline application that helps to create sandbox credentials. It assumes you have created an account on https://momodeveloper.mtn.com
and have your Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key
.
## within the project, on the command line. In this example, our domain is akabbo.ug
$ ./vendor/momoapi-php/lib/Provision.php
$ providerCallBackHost: https://akabbo.ug
$ Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: f83xx8d8xx6749f19a26e2265aeadbcdeg
The providerCallBackHost
is your callback host and Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key
is your API key for the specific product to which you are subscribed. The API Key
is unique to the product and you will need an API Key
for each product you use. You should get a response similar to the following:
Here is your User Id and API secret : {'apiKey': 'b0431db58a9b41faa8f5860230xxxxxx', 'UserId': '053c6dea-dd68-xxxx-xxxx-c830dac9f401'}
These are the credentials we shall use for the sandbox environment. In production, these credentials are provided for you on the MTN OVA management dashboard after KYC requirements are met.
Before we can fully utilize the library, we need to specify global configurations. The global configuration using the requestOpts builder. By default, these are picked from environment variables, but can be overidden using the MomoApi builder
BASE_URL
: An optional base url to the MTN Momo API. By default the staging base url will be usedENVIRONMENT
: Optional enviroment, either "sandbox" or "production". Default is 'sandbox'CURRENCY
: currency by default its EURCALLBACK_HOST
: The domain where you webhooks urls are hosted. This is mandatory.COLLECTION_PRIMARY_KEY
: The collections API primary key,COLLECTION_USER_ID
: The collection User IdCOLLECTION_API_SECRET
: The Collection API secretREMITTANCE_USER_ID
: The Remittance User IDREMITTANCE_API_SECRET
: The Remittance API SecretREMITTANCE_PRIMARY_KEY
: The Remittance Subscription KeyDISBURSEMENT_USER_ID
: The Disbursement User IDDISBURSEMENT_API_SECRET
: The Disbursement API SecretDISBURSEMENT_PRIMARY_KEY
: The Disbursement Primary Key
Once you have specified the global variables, you can now provide the product-specific variables. Each MoMo API product requires its own authentication details i.e its own Subscription Key
, User ID
and User Secret
, also sometimes refered to as the API Secret
. As such, we have to configure subscription keys for each product you will be using.
You will only need to configure the variables for the product(s) you will be using.
you can also use the MomoApi to globally set the different variables.
MomoApi::setBaseUrl('base');
MomoApi::setTargetEnvironment("targetenv");
MomoApi::setCurrency("UGX");
MomoApi::setCollectionApiSecret("collection_api_secret");
MomoApi::setCollectionPrimaryKey("collection_primary_key");
MomoApi::setCollectionUserId("collection_user_id");
MomoApi::setRemittanceApiSecret("remittance_api_secret");
MomoApi::setRemittancePrimaryKey("remittance_primary_key");
MomoApi::setRemittanceUserId("remittance_user_id" );
MomoApi::setDisbursementApiSecret("disbursement_api_secret");
MomoApi::setDisbursementPrimaryKey("disbursement_primary_key");
MomoApi::setDisbursementUserId("disbursement_user_id");
The collections client can be created with the following paramaters. Note that the COLLECTION_USER_ID
and COLLECTION_API_SECRET
for production are provided on the MTN OVA dashboard;
COLLECTION_PRIMARY_KEY
: Primary Key for theCollection
product on the developer portal.COLLECTION_USER_ID
: For sandbox, use the one generated with themtnmomo
command.COLLECTION_API_SECRET
: For sandbox, use the one generated with themtnmomo
command.
You can create a collection client with the following:
$client = Collection();
-
requestToPay
: This operation is used to request a payment from a consumer (Payer). The payer will be asked to authorize the payment. The transaction is executed once the payer has authorized the payment. The transaction will be in status PENDING until it is authorized or declined by the payer or it is timed out by the system. Status of the transaction can be validated by usinggetTransactionStatus
. -
getTransaction
: Retrieve transaction information using thetransactionId
returned byrequestToPay
. You can invoke it at intervals until the transaction fails or succeeds. If the transaction has failed, it will throw an appropriate error. -
getBalance
: Get the balance of the account. -
isPayerActive
: check if an account holder is registered and active in the system.
$coll = new Collection($currency = "c..", $baseUrl = "url..", $targetEnvironment = "u...", $collectionApiSecret = "u...", $collectionPrimaryKey = "u...", $collectionUserId = "u..."]);
$params = ['mobile' => "256782181656", 'payee_note' => "34", 'payer_message' => "12", 'external_id' => "ref", 'currency' => "EUR", 'amount' => "500"];
$t = $coll->requestToPay($params);
$transaction = $coll->getTransaction($t);
The Disbursements client can be created with the following paramaters. Note that the DISBURSEMENT_USER_ID
and DISBURSEMENT_API_SECRET
for production are provided on the MTN OVA dashboard;
DISBURSEMENT_PRIMARY_KEY
: Primary Key for theDisbursement
product on the developer portal.DISBURSEMENT_USER_ID
: For sandbox, use the one generated with themtnmomo
command.DISBURSEMENT_API_SECRET
: For sandbox, use the one generated with themtnmomo
command.
You can create a disbursements client with the following
$disbursement = new Disbursement();
$params = ['mobile' => "256782181656", 'payee_note' => "34", 'payer_message' => "12", 'external_id' => "ref", 'currency' => "EUR", 'amount' => "500"];
$t = $disbursement->requestToPay($params);
$transaction = $disbursement->getTransaction($t);
-
transfer
: Used to transfer an amount from the owner’s account to a payee account. Status of the transaction can be validated by using thegetTransactionStatus
method. -
getTransactionStatus
: Retrieve transaction information using thetransactionId
returned bytransfer
. You can invoke it at intervals until the transaction fails or succeeds. -
getBalance
: Get your account balance. -
isPayerActive
: This method is used to check if an account holder is registered and active in the system.
NOTE: We do not recommend decreasing the timeout for non-read-only calls , since even if you locally timeout, the request can still complete.
To modify request timeouts (connect or total, in seconds) you'll need to tell the API client to use a CurlClient other than its default. You'll set the timeouts in that CurlClient.
// set up your tweaked Curl client
$curl = new \MomoApi\HttpClient\CurlClient();
$curl->setTimeout(10); // default is \MomoApi\HttpClient\CurlClient::DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
$curl->setConnectTimeout(5); // default is \MomoApi\HttpClient\CurlClient::DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
echo $curl->getTimeout(); // 10
echo $curl->getConnectTimeout(); // 5
// tell MomoApi to use the tweaked client
\MomoApi\ApiRequest::setHttpClient($curl);
// use the Momo API client as you normally would
Need to set a proxy for your requests? Pass in the requisite CURLOPT_*
array to the CurlClient constructor, using the same syntax as curl_stopt_array()
. This will set the default cURL options for each HTTP request made by the SDK, though many more common options (e.g. timeouts; see above on how to set those) will be overridden by the client even if set here.
// set up your tweaked Curl client
$curl = new \MomoApi\HttpClient\CurlClient([CURLOPT_PROXY => 'proxy.local:80']);
// tell MomoApi to use the tweaked client
\MomoApi\ApiRequest::setHttpClient($curl);
Alternately, a callable can be passed to the CurlClient constructor that returns the above array based on request inputs. See testDefaultOptions()
in tests/CurlClientTest.php
for an example of this behavior. Note that the callable is called at the beginning of every API request, before the request is sent.
The library does minimal logging, but it can be configured
with a PSR-3
compatible logger so that messages
end up there instead of error_log
:
\MomoApi\MomoApi::setLogger($logger);
The library can be configured to automatically retry requests that fail due to an intermittent network problem:
\MomoApi\MomoApi::setMaxNetworkRetries(2);
Get Composer. For example, on Mac OS:
brew install composer
Install dependencies:
