Authorization with token in guzzlehttp Laravel php - php

Question

I'm trying to make a request with my other endpoint, using GuzzleHttp in laravel, but the token isn't authorizing it. I believe it's in the way I'm going. Anyone know how to fix this? This is my code.
public function productRecommendation($rowPerPage,$keywords, $page){
try{
$request = request();
$token = $request->bearerToken();
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$promise = $client->request('GET', $this->sellerUrl.'recommended', [
'headers' => ['Authorization' => "Bearer {$token}"],
'query' =>
[
'rowPerPage' => $rowPerPage,
'page' => $page,
'keywords' => $keywords,
],
]);
$response = (string) $promise->getBody();
return json_decode($response, true);
}
catch (Exception $e){
return $e;
}
}

Answer 1

You are getting the bearer token of your first application using $request->bearerToken() and send it to your second application for authorization which must not work;
You need to get a working token from your second application. You can either generate a token in your second application and copy it inside your current $token variable, or first call the login endpoint of second application with your credentials and use that token.
By the way, Laravel now supports a guzzle wrapper called Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http which makes things lot easier, you can rewrite your code like this:
public function productRecommendation($rowPerPage, $keywords, $page)
{
try{
$token = "some valid token from second endpoint";
$response = Http::withToken(
$token
)->get(
$this->sellerUrl . 'recommended',
[
'rowPerPage' => $rowPerPage,
'page' => $page,
'keywords' => $keywords,
]
);
return response()->json(
json_decode($response->body(), true)
);
}
catch (Exception $e){
return $e;
}
}
