Social Media Username Search

The social media search is an "exact match" search and will return results for the EXACT username as entered. Some sites have case-sensitive usernames so you should consider this when implementing your search feature.

URL Example

https://checkmarks.com/api/v1/username/usernamesearch/account/apiaccount/password/apipassword

PHP Trademark Search
function checkmarks($username){
	//url encode the username to check
	$username = urlencode($username);

	//initialize curl
	$curl = curl_init();

	//create a url with the social username to check, api username, and api password
	$url = "https://checkmarks.com/api/v1/username/{$username}/account/{$apiaccount}/password/{$apipassword}";

	//set curl options
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

	//perform curl and return json decoded results
	return json_decode(curl_exec($curl));
}

//get response from service
$response = checkmarks($username);

//loop through returned websites
foreach($response as $website){
	$websitename = $website->website;
	$usernamestatus = $website->status;

	//set $facebook, $twitter, etc. variables equal to status
	//0 = username not available, 1 = username available
	$$websitename = $usernamestatus;
}

var_dump($facebook);
var_dump($twitter);
var_dump($instagram);
var_dump($snapchat);
var_dump($youtube);
