Balanced Payments Fatal Error in Errors

I've recently implemented Balanced Payments. I've updated my composer.json file and yet I get this error when running the PHP:

PHP message: PHP Fatal error:

Uncaught exception 'Balanced\Errors\Error' in /app/vendor/balanced/balanced/src/Balanced/Errors/Error.php:42"

I ran the following on the command line, and it says dependencies were all updated:

composer update

My composer.json looks like this: 

{
 "require" : {
 "braintree/braintree_php" : "2.28.0",
 "balanced/balanced" : "1.*"
  }
}

My PHP is as follows: 

<?php

  #BALANCED
 require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

  Httpful\Bootstrap::init();
  RESTful\Bootstrap::init();
  Balanced\Bootstrap::init();

   Balanced\Settings::$api_key = "ak-test-*************************";

  $amount = $_POST["amount"];
  $href = $_POST["href"];

 $bank_account = Balanced\BankAccount::get($href);
 $bank_account->credits->create(array(
     "amount" => $amount
   ));
Solution

  • The API returned a response that threw a catchable Error. I suggest you wrap the code in a try/catch and determine what the API error was. A few quick common guesses, as it could be any number of things, $amount or $href is null, or $amount was not the amount expressed as an integer.

    Also, you'll find logs accessible via the Balanced Dashboard to be very helpful as you integrate the Balanced API.
