Project Honeypot Http:BL Library

A simple PHP library for querying the Project Honeypot Http:BL API.

Usage

Create a new instance

use Thasmo\ProjectHoneypot\Blacklist;
$client = new Blacklist('127.0.0.1', 'api-key');

Create multiple instances

use Thasmo\ProjectHoneypot\Blacklist;

# Set default API key.
Blacklist::setDefaultKey('api-key');

# Use the default API key.
$clientOne = new Blacklist('127.0.0.1');

# Use a specific API key.
$clientTwo = new Blacklist('127.0.0.2', 'other-api-key');

# Use the default API key, again.
$clientThree = new Blacklist('127.0.0.3');

Check for various types of clients

# Client is a search engine.
$client->isSearchEngine();

# Client is suspicious.
$client->isSuspicious();

# Client is a harvester.
$client->isHarvester()

# Client is a spammer.
$client->isSpammer();

# Client is blacklisted.
# Which means it is suspicious, a harvester or a spammer but not a search engine.
$client->isListed();

Get last activity

# Get the last activity for the client in days.
$lastActivity = $client->getActivity(); 

Get threat score

# Get the threat score of the client.
$threatScore = $client->getThreat();

Check last activity

# Check if the client was active in the last 10 days.
$isActive = $client->isActive(10);

Check threat score

# Check if the threat score is within the limit of 100.
$isThreat = $client->isThreat(100);

Get the name for a search engine

# Get the name of the search engine.
if($client->isSearchEngine()) {
  $name = $client->getName();
}

Get the API result

# Return an array holding the result from the API call
$result = $client->getResult();

Change the address

use Thasmo\ProjectHoneypot\Blacklist;

# Create an instance
$client = new Blacklist('127.0.0.1', 'api-key');

# Get the result
$result1 = $client->getResult();

# Set a new address which resets the object
$client->setAddress('127.0.0.2');

# Get the new result
$result2 = $client->getResult();

Query the API

use Thasmo\ProjectHoneypot\Blacklist;

# Create an instance
$client = new Blacklist('127.0.0.1', 'api-key');

# Query the API immediately
$client->query();

# Use other methods
if($client->isSearchEngine()) {
  $name = $client->getName();
}

Implementation Details

• Requests to the API are delayed until you first call a method like isSearchEngine etc. or query explicitly.
• API responses for the same IP address on the same instance will be cached, the API will be queried only once.
• When changing the IP address via setAddress the cache is cleared and the API will be queried again.
