API response returns JSON without Response Body - php

Question

Using Guzzle, I'm consuming some external apis in JSON format,
usually I get the data with
$data = $request->getBody()->getContents();
But i can't get data from this different api.
It seems the data doesn't come in a 'Response Body'.
This api call works:

This doesn't work:

public function getRemoteCienciaVitaeDistinctions()
{
$client = new Client(['headers' => ['Accept' => 'application/json']]);
$request = $client->get(
'https://................/',
[
'auth' => ['...', '...'],
]
);
$data = $request->getBody()->getContents();
return $data;
}

Answer 1

the second call is working fine, but the response is empty,
as we can see in Screenshot-3, the Total = 0, so the response from this API is empty.
to handle that properly I suggest you this modification for your method :
public function getRemoteCienciaVitaeDistinctions()
{
$client = new Client(['headers' => ['Accept' => 'application/json']]);
$request = $client->get(
'https://................/',
[
'auth' => ['...', '...'],
]
);
//Notice that i have decoded the response from json objects to php array here.
$response = json_decode($request->getBody()->getContents());
if(isset($response->total) && $response->total == 0) return [];
return $response;
}
please check the documentation of the API that you are using
