$result = Skebby::send('1234567890', 'Hello from Laravel!');

// Get account info

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

Direct Instantiation

$skebby = new Skebby();

Advanced Usage

Error Handling

The package includes comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions:

use alagaccia\skebby\Skebby;
use alagaccia\skebby\Exceptions\SkebbyException;

try {
    $skebby = new Skebby();
    $result = $skebby->send('1234567890', 'Hello World!');
    echo "SMS sent successfully!";
} catch (SkebbyException $e) {
    echo "SMS sending failed: " . $e->getMessage();
    // Handle specific error codes
    if ($e->getCode() == 401) {
        echo "Authentication failed - check your credentials";
    }
}

Message Types

You can specify different message types when sending SMS:

use Skebby;

// Send with specific message type
$result = Skebby::send('1234567890', 'Hello!', Skebby::MESSAGE_CLASSIC_PLUS);

// Send with campaign name for tracking
$result = Skebby::send('1234567890', 'Hello!', null, 'Summer Campaign 2024');

// Send with both message type and campaign name
$result = Skebby::send('1234567890', 'Hello!', Skebby::MESSAGE_CLASSIC_PLUS, 'Summer Campaign 2024');

// Available message types:
// Skebby::MESSAGE_CLASSIC_PLUS  ('GP') - Classic Plus
// Skebby::MESSAGE_CLASSIC       ('TI') - Classic (default)
// Skebby::MESSAGE_BASIC         ('SI') - Basic
// Skebby::MESSAGE_EXPORT        ('EE') - Export
// Skebby::MESSAGE_ADVERTISING   ('AD') - Advertising

Credit Management

Check remaining credits for different message types:

use Skebby;

// Get remaining credits for current message type
$remaining = Skebby::getRemaining();

// Get remaining credits for specific message type
$remaining = Skebby::getRemaining(Skebby::MESSAGE_CLASSIC_PLUS);

// Get all remaining credits
$allCredits = Skebby::getAllRemainingCredits();
// Returns: ['GP' => 100, 'TI' => 200, 'SI' => 300, ...]

Authentication Cache

The package automatically caches authentication credentials for the duration of the request to improve performance:

use Skebby;

// Clear authentication cache if needed
Skebby::clearAuthCache();

Configuration Options

The configuration file supports the following options:

return [
    'SKEBBY_USER' => env('SKEBBY_USER'),
    'SKEBBY_PWD' => env('SKEBBY_PWD'),
    'SKEBBY_ALIAS' => env('SKEBBY_ALIAS'),
    'SKEBBY_QUALITY' => env('SKEBBY_QUALITY', 'TI'), // Default message type
];
