How to access the CURL to get the json data from php - php

Question

How to access the CURL to get the json data from php.
By the way, I am using codeigniter framework.
This is curl data:
curl -u <YOUR_KEY_ID>:<YOUR_SECRET> \
-X POST https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"amount": 50000,
"currency": "INR",
"receipt": "receipt#1"
}'
and this my possible work to cosume it:
$url = 'https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders';
$curl = curl_init($url);
$data = json_encode(array(
'receipt'=> $orderId,
'amount'=>$amount,
'currency'=> 'INR'
), JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type:application/json'
//$keyId.':'.$secretKey
));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
Please help me to consume it!!
I am in trouble and also in hurry!!

Answer 1

If the response like :
[{"data1":"value1","data1.1":"value1.1"},{"data2":"value2","data2.1":"value2.1"}...]
Use :
$arrContextOptions=array(
"ssl"=>array(
"verify_peer"=>false,
"verify_peer_name"=>false,
),
);
$json = file_get_contents('thelink', false, stream_context_create($arrContextOptions));
$result = json_decode($json, true);
and call it like :
echo $result[0]["data1"];
echo $result[0]["data1.1"];
echo $result[0]["data2"];
echo $result[0]["data2.1"];
If you still want to use curl (example on weatherAPI) :
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
CURLOPT_URL => "https://weatherapi-com.p.rapidapi.com/forecast.json?q=London&days=1",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
"x-rapidapi-host: weatherapi-com.p.rapidapi.com",
"x-rapidapi-key: aaaaxxxxbbbb"
],
]);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
$weather = json_decode($response);;
}
?>

Answer 2

Try this, I keep this for whenever I need to consume and API,
$url = 'https://api.razorpay.com/v1/orders';
$curl = curl_init();
$obj = new StdClass();
$obj->receipt = $orderId;
$obj->amount = $amount;
$obj->currency = 'INR';
$payload = json_encode($obj);
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $payload,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
//$keyId.':'.$secretKey
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
Get your response and handle any errors, maybe you are just missing a comma in your headers array
