How do I make an api call in PHP - php

Question

I tested an API using postman. Using, postman, I managed to generate a token.
From postman, I managed to get all the data of a user using the following with the following details via a GET request:
https://example.example.co.za/api/consumers/get?id=567675675&email=example#sample.com
Under Authorization type, I selected "Bearer token" and pasted the Token in its respective field.
When I click send, I get a success response with the user data.
In PHP, how can I do the same api call (using the id,email and token) inside a php function?
I tried this:
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "example.example.co.za/api/consumers/get?email=example#sample.com&id=567675675",
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: */*",
"Authorization: Bearer jhgukfytjfytdytfjgjyfytfjkugfyfdhtklhkugjf",
"Cache-Control: no-cache",
"Connection: keep-alive",
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
return $response;
But when I view the page, instead of the user data, I see this:
How do I make the API call inside a function to get the same result that I have on postman in PHP?

You need to follow the location
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true

Answer 2

Please find a proper CURL call here.
$url = "https://example.example.co.za/api/consumers/get?id=567675675&email=example#sample.com";
$curl = curl_init();
// OPTIONS:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'APIKEY: 111111111111111111111',
'Content-Type: application/json',
));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
// EXECUTE:
$result = curl_exec($curl);
if(!$result){die("Connection Failure");}
curl_close($curl);
