How to pass an object into the http client request? - php

Question

I have tried making a HTTP request using CURL as below:
$rawQuery = '{
"CUSTNAME" : "1970188",
"CURDATE":"2020-12-28T00:00:00+02:00",
"BOOKNUM":"Test BookNum",
"DETAILS":"Test Details"
}';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://somelink.co.de");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $rawQuery);
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch);
This one is returning me result. But when I try to implement the same using Symfony HTTP Client, I am getting 400 error.
This is the code, I have tried.
$response = $this->client->request('POST', $url, [
'auth_basic' => [
'username',
'password'
],
'headers' => [
'Accept' => 'application/json',
],
'json' => $rawQuery
]);
I am not sure what I am missing in Client
Can anybody please help me ?

Your Raw query is incorrect.. This should be a php array, Symfony is trying to json_encode() this for you when you use the 'json' key in the request. Reformat your $rawQuery to be
$rawQuery = [
"CUSTNAME" => "1970188",
"CURDATE" => "2020-12-28T00:00:00+02:00",
"BOOKNUM" => "Test BookNum",
"DETAILS" => "Test Details"
];
