Getting Data from API - PHP - php

Question

I have been trying to connect to an API, which requires both a user and password key. I was able to connect using curl from the command line, however am having trouble using PHP.
I have tried using "user:password" as the AUTH key (which worked in curl), previously the code simply required a password and worked.
Below is the code that I am using:
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "api-link-removed.com" . urlencode($location),
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"accept: application/json",
"authorization: Basic " . AUTH_KEY,
"content-type: application/json"
),
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
Any suggestions to what I might be doing wrong would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Maybe Guzzle HTTP
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->get('http://www.server.com/endpoint', [
'auth' => [
'username',
'password'
]
]);

I tried this:
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
CURLOPT_URL => "your api url here",
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 => [
"Name of api host: the name here",
"Api key : api key here"
]
);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
}
