Getting VerifyStatus API working in Sandbox

There are a few caviots to getting the API working.
I hope this saves someone a few hours/ days.

• CallerServices.php has a small bug
• Only Sandbox email accounts work in the sandbox. Thanks for confiming @ppalavilli
• ALL Sandbox accounts have the First Name: Test Thanks @ppalavilli
• ALL Sandbox accounts have the Last Name: User Thanks @ppalavilli

If you get a

PHP Warning: Missing argument 3 for CallerServices::callWebService()

On line 101 of CallerServices.php you have:

function callWebService($request,$serviceName,$simpleXML)

It should read: //(most of the calls that use callWebService are parent::callWebService( $request,$serviceName ) anyways.

function callWebService($request,$serviceName,$simpleXML=NULL)
{
$response = null;
try {
$endpoint=API_BASE_ENDPOINT.$serviceName;
$response = call($request, $endpoint, $this->sandBoxEmailAddress,$simpleXML);
}
catch(Exception $ex) {
throw new FatalException('Error occurred in call method');
}
return $response;
}

Here is the code I used. Replace {email} with one of your sandbox email addresses.

public function verify_email($params){
$VstatusRequest = new GetVerifiedStatusRequest();

$VstatusRequest->emailAddress = '{email}';
$VstatusRequest->matchCriteria = 'NAME';
$VstatusRequest->firstName = 'Test';
$VstatusRequest->lastName = 'User';

$rEnvelope = new RequestEnvelope();
$rEnvelope->errorLanguage = "en_US";
$VstatusRequest->requestEnvelope = $rEnvelope ;

$aa = new AdaptiveAccounts();
$response = $aa->GetVerifiedStatus($VstatusRequest);

echo json_encode($response);
}

The JSON encoded object looks like such:

{"responseEnvelope":{"timestamp":"2011-03-25T15:37:32.443-07:00","ack":"Success","correlationId":"42bce847aebc9","build":"1772158"},"accountStatus":"VERIFIED"}
