Fidro + PHP Integration

Overview

To integrate Fidro with PHP, use Guzzle to send a POST request to the Fidro API with the user's email and IP address. Fidro returns email validation results, disposable domain detection, IP intelligence, and a fraud risk score in a single JSON response. No proprietary SDK is required — Guzzle or any PHP HTTP client handles the integration seamlessly.

Fidro is a fraud detection API that combines email validation, IP intelligence, geolocation analysis, and Stripe chargeback prevention in a single API call. It returns a risk score with a clear recommendation — allow, review, or block — so you can stop fraud without building your own scoring logic.

2. Email Validation

Send a POST request to Fidro's /v1/validate endpoint with the user's email address and optional IP. Fidro validates the email, checks for disposable domains, analyzes the IP for VPN/proxy/Tor usage, and returns a risk score with a clear recommendation — allow, review, or block.
