Usage

You can inject the ContentDetectPhonesService class to access phone number detection functionality. For best results, especially with batch processing, use Laravel's queuing system to optimize job dispatch and result polling.

Basic Workflow

1. Dispatch Job: Send text content to the API using detectPhones, which returns a status URL.
2. Poll for Results: Use fetchResults($statusUrl) to poll until the job completes or fails.
3. Process Result: After completion, retrieve the results from the SharpApiJob object returned.

Note: Each job typically takes a few seconds to complete. Once completed successfully, the status will update to success, and you can process the results as JSON, array, or object format.

Controller Example

Here is an example of how to use ContentDetectPhonesService within a Laravel controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use SharpAPI\ContentDetectPhones\ContentDetectPhonesService;

class ContentController extends Controller
{
    protected ContentDetectPhonesService $phoneDetectionService;

    public function __construct(ContentDetectPhonesService $phoneDetectionService)
    {
        $this->phoneDetectionService = $phoneDetectionService;
    }

    /**
     * @throws GuzzleException
     */
    public function detectPhoneNumbers(string $text)
    {
        $statusUrl = $this->phoneDetectionService->detectPhones($text);
        
        $result = $this->phoneDetectionService->fetchResults($statusUrl);

        return response()->json($result->getResultJson());
    }
}

Handling Guzzle Exceptions

All requests are managed by Guzzle, so it's helpful to be familiar with Guzzle Exceptions.

Example:

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

try {
    $statusUrl = $this->phoneDetectionService->detectPhones('Contact us at +1 (800) 555-1234 or 555-6789');
} catch (ClientException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Optional Configuration

You can customize the configuration by setting the following environment variables in your .env file:

SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_WAIT=180
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_USE_POLLING_INTERVAL=true
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_INTERVAL=10
SHARP_API_BASE_URL=https://sharpapi.com/api/v1
