PHP HTTP 500 trying to make GET request from an api - php

Question

I'm trying to do A GET request to an API but it gives me a 500 Http error.
I tried the same thing on https://reqbin.com/ and it worked without any error
What's the problem in my code?
My code:
$addr = $_GET['addr'];
$api_key = 'secure';
$url = 'https://www.blockonomics.co/api/merchant_order/'.$addr;
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Authorization: Bearer $api_key",
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$contents = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$object = json_decode($contents);

You can use this code to catch any error messages:
<?php
$addr = $_GET['addr'];;
$api_key = 'your_api_key';
$url = 'https://www.blockonomics.co/api/merchant_order/'.$addr;
$options = array (
'http' => array (
'header' => "Authorization: Bearer $api_key",
'ignore_errors' => true
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$contents = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$object = json_decode($contents);
if($object->status != 200) {
echo $http_response_header[0]."\n".$contents;
}
This way you will see the error message which tells you what is wrong:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
{"status": 500, "message": "Order not found."}
