Zend_Service_Akismet::verifyKey($key) is used to
verify that an Akismet API key is valid. In most cases, you
will not need to check, but if you need a sanity check, or
to determine if a newly acquired key is active, you may do
so with this method.
<?php
// Instantiate with the API key and a URL to the application or
// resource being used
$akismet = new Zend_Service_Akismet($apiKey,
'http://framework.zend.com/wiki/');
if ($akismet->verifyKey($apiKey) {
echo "Key is valid.\n";
} else {
echo "Key is not valid\n";
}
If called with no arguments, verifyKey() uses
the API key provided to the constructor.
verifyKey() implements Akismet's
verify-key REST method.
