Transform a CURL POST request to GuzzleHttp Post - php

Question

I've got this CURL that I'm executing on the command line and it successfully creates content in my CMS (Drupal 9).
curl \
--user username:9aqW72MUbFQR4EYh \
--header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
--header 'Content-type: application/vnd.api+json' \
--request POST http://www.domain.drupal/jsonapi/node/article \
--data-binary #payload.json
and the JSON file as:
{
"data": {
"type": "node--article",
"attributes": {
"title": "My custom title",
"body": {
"value": "Custom value",
"format": "plain_text"
}
}
}
}
Working like a charm and data is being created.
I've been trying to do this in GuzzleHttp but couldn't get it working.
Get is working:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
$url = 'http://www.domain.drupal';
$content_client = new GuzzleHttp\Client([
'base_uri' => $url,
'timeout' => 20.0,
]);
$res = $content_client->request('GET', '/jsonapi/node/article/71adf560-044c-49e0-9461-af593bad0746');
For POST, I've got probably around 10 versions trial and error but nothing worked.
How can I POST my JSON/Content to Drupal or how can I correctly implement the CURL in Guzzle?

If you want a simple post request to send json body with your headers you can do it simply without using Psr7 Request. Guzzle utilizes PSR-7 as the HTTP message interface.
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$url = 'http://www.domain.drupal';
$content_client = new Client([
'base_uri' => $url,
'timeout' => 20.0,
]);
$headers = [
'Content-type' => 'application/vnd.api+json',
'Accept' => 'application/vnd.api+json'
];
$payload['data'] = [
'type' => 'node--article',
'attributes' => [
"title" => "My custom title",
"body" => [
"value" => "Custom value",
"format" => "plain_text"
]
]
];
$guzzleResponse = $content_client->post('/jsonapi/node/article/71adf560-044c-49e0-9461-af593bad0746', [
'json' => json_encode($payload),
'headers' => $headers
]);
if ($guzzleResponse->getStatusCode() == 200) {
$response = json_decode($guzzleResponse->getBody());
}
You can write it in try catch block with using RequestException (see this Catching exceptions from Guzzle to know more about it.)
