PHP and Shopify API connection - php

Question

I'm trying to learn the shopify api for a project. Tried a few pasted codes on their forum, adapting my code to theirs.
The documentation says to do the authentication this way, by providing the following:
https://{username}:{password}#{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json
{username} — The API key that you generated
{password} — The API password
{shop} - The name that you entered for your development store
{api-version} — The supported API version you want to use
{resource} — A resource endpoint from the REST admin API
I'm trying to do a GET request on all the orders made on the store.
/ info
$API_KEY = '75c89bf******ea919ce****7702';
$PASSWORD = '2061******82d2802**f***9403';
$STORE_URL = '*****-na-***-c***.myshopify.com';
$AUTHORIZATION = base64_encode($API_KEY . ':' . $PASSWORD);
$url = 'https://' . $API_KEY . ':' . $PASSWORD . '#' . $STORE_URL . '/admin/api/2020-01/orders.json';
$header = array();
$header[] = 'Accept: application/json';
$header[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
$header[] = 'Authorization: Basic ' . $AUTHORIZATION;
$session = curl_init();
//options
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_GET, 1);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//exec
$response = curl_exec($session);
curl_close($session);
print_r($response);
// error
if($response === false)
{
print_r('Curl error: ');
}
The code doesn't work at all, without any error code, completly blank, with only the first project echo showing.
I verified my API keys and they are working, I can insert them manually into chrome.

You don't need the header for authorization. Your code should like:
$API_KEY = '75c89bf******ea919ce****7702';
$PASSWORD = '2061******82d2802ff***9403';
$STORE_URL = 'porcao-na-sua-casa.myshopify.com';
$url = 'https://' . $API_KEY . ':' . $PASSWORD . '#' . $STORE_URL . '/admin/api/2020-01/orders.json';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) //can check status code, requst successfully processed if return 200
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);

Found the problem when I ran in terminal, did not install php-curl on this machine.
#Kshitij solution worked, just like mine, when curl was properly installed.

// Provide the required parameters like store url , endpoint etc.
function shopifyApiCall($STORE_URL ,$query = [], $endpoint, $API_KEY, $PASSWORD){
//API_Key : your API key, you can get it from your APP setup.
//Password : Your Access Token
$url = 'https://' . $API_KEY . ':' . $PASSWORD . '#' . $STORE_URL . $endpoint;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($query));
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$error_number = curl_errno($ch);
$error_message = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// Return an error is cURL has a problem
if ($error_number) {
return $error_message;
} else {
// No error, return Shopify's response by parsing out the body and the headers
$response = preg_split("/\r\n\r\n|\n\n|\r\r/", $response, 2);
// Convert headers into an array
$headers = array();
$header_data = explode("\n",$response[0]);
$headers['status'] = $header_data[0]; // Does not contain a key, have to explicitly set
array_shift($header_data); // Remove status, we've already set it above
foreach($header_data as $part) {
$h = explode(":", $part);
$headers[trim($h[0])] = trim($h[1]);
}
// Return headers and Shopify's response
//return array('headers' => $headers, 'response' => $response[1]);changed headers
return array('headers' => $header_data, 'response' => $response[1]);
}
}
