Manual Installation

Download or clone this repository
Include the autoloader or require files manually

require_once 'path/to/rest-api-php/src/FcsApi.php';
require_once 'path/to/rest-api-php/src/Forex.php';  // For Forex
require_once 'path/to/rest-api-php/src/Crypto.php'; // For Crypto
require_once 'path/to/rest-api-php/src/Stock.php';  // For Stock

Quick Start

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

use FcsApi\FcsApi;

$fcsapi = new FcsApi();

// Forex
$response = $fcsapi->forex->getLatestPrice('EURUSD');

// Crypto
$response = $fcsapi->crypto->getLatestPrice('BINANCE:BTCUSDT');

// Stock
$response = $fcsapi->stock->getLatestPrice('NASDAQ:AAPL');

Authentication Methods

The library supports 4 authentication methods for different security needs:

Method 1: Default Configuration (Recommended)

Set your API key once in src/FcsConfig.php:

public string $accessKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';

Then simply use:

$fcsapi = new FcsApi();

Method 2: Direct API Key

Pass API key directly (overrides config):

$fcsapi = new FcsApi('YOUR_API_KEY');

Method 3: IP Whitelist (No Key Required)

Whitelist your server IP at FCS Dashboard:

use FcsApi\FcsConfig;

$config = FcsConfig::withIpWhitelist();
$fcsapi = new FcsApi($config);

Method 4: Token-Based Authentication (Secure for Frontend)

Generate secure tokens on backend, use on frontend without exposing API key:

use FcsApi\FcsConfig;

// Backend: Generate token
$config = FcsConfig::withToken('YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY', 3600);
$fcsapi = new FcsApi($config);
$tokenData = $fcsapi->generateToken();
// Returns: ['_token' => '...', '_expiry' => 1234567890, '_public_key' => '...']

// Send $tokenData to frontend for secure API calls

Token Expiry Options:

Seconds	Duration
300	5 minutes
900	15 minutes
1800	30 minutes
3600	1 hour
86400	24 hours

Method 5: JWT (one value, nothing else to send)

A standard JWT (header.payload.signature, HMAC-SHA256) made on your backend. The client sends only jwt_token (query string, POST form, JSON body, or the header Authorization: Bearer <jwt>); the public key and expiry are inside the token. The Bearer header counts only when its value is one of our JWTs and no other credential (access_key, jwt_token, _public_key, _token, _expiry) is sent; any other Bearer token is ignored.

use FcsApi\FcsConfig;

// Backend: make a JWT for your frontend
$config = FcsConfig::withJwt('YOUR_API_KEY', 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY', 300);
$fcsapi = new FcsApi($config);
$jwt = $fcsapi->generateJwt();                    // works from any site (or from your Allowed Domains)
$jwt = $fcsapi->generateJwt('customer.com');      // only works from a page on customer.com

// Frontend: https://api-v4.fcsapi.com/forex/latest?symbol=EUR/USD&jwt_token=<jwt>

// Requests made by this SDK itself (server to API) use the same config and always send a plain JWT:
var_dump($fcsapi->forex->getLatestPrice('FX:EURUSD'));

A server request has no browser Origin, so if your key has "Allowed Domains (Public Key)" saved, add the server IP to IP Authorizations in the dashboard, otherwise the API answers 101 invalid_domain. You can also get a JWT from the API: https://api-v4.fcsapi.com/forex/jwt_token?access_key=YOUR_API_KEY&expiry=300 (add &domain=customer.com, one valid host, to bind it to a site; otherwise error 112. Default expiry 3600, allowed 30 to 86400). The mint endpoint caps a token at 86400 seconds, but the API itself does not limit exp, so a token you sign yourself can live longer: keep $tokenExpiry short. A bound token only works from a browser (a server call has no Origin), so use generateJwt('customer.com') for pages and a plain token for servers.
