Saudi National Address API

SaudiAddress is a PHP package/library built to consume the Saudi National Address API (api.address.gov.sa). It makes it simple to use most of what the API has to offer.

You can for example retrieve regions, cities, districts, services and addresses from geo coordinates, verify an address and more!

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require ali-alharthi/saudiaddress

Laravel

This package supports Laravel out of the box 😄.

However, you need to add the following to the config/services.php file:

'saudiaddress' => [
    'api_key' => env('SNA_API_KEY', null),
    'api_subscription' =>
    env('SNA_API_SUBSCRIPTION', 'Development'),
    'cache' => env('SNA_CACHE', true),
],

Then, append the following to the .env file:

SNA_API_KEY=YOUR-API-KEY-HERE
SNA_API_SUBSCRIPTION=Development
SNA_CACHE=false

Replace YOUR-API-KEY-HERE with your SNA API key, Development with your SNA subscription type and SNA_CACHE with true or false (enable/disable cache).

After that you can use the facade: AliAlharthi\SaudiAddress\Facades\SaudiAddress to access the library.

Usage

As a regualr PHP package:

use AliAlharthi\SaudiAddress\SaudiAddress;

$saudi = SaudiAddress::make('API-KEY', 'Subscription', false); // Cache is disabled
$regions = $saudi->regions()->all('E')->get();

Laravel:

use AliAlharthi\SaudiAddress\Facades\SaudiAddress;

$regions = SaudiAddress::regions()->all('E')->get();

In the following examples, parameter 'E' stands for English. Default language is Arabic 'A'

🔔 Other Information

This package was built by a single person within 2-3 days due to an actual need in a real-world project.

This is still considered simple but gets the job done. Plus contributions (CONTRIBUTING) are welcomed 😁.

⚡ Cache

This package has a simple file cache system. Most of the API requests will be saved in the Api/Cache/ directory due to the limitation on the Development subscription (1000 requests per month).

Redis and other cache methods will be added in the future versions
