Posted Data
{"redeemcode":"f564hfkj4shfee25","gameid":"123456","vcode":"7895","language":"en"}
I collect all of those from Browser > Inspect > Network area.
My Question is, Can I use php curl to post data to that api url from my localhost or my server? I Write my own code but its not working.. Here is my code.
//API Url
$url = 'https://api.awebsite.com/api/redeem';
$code = 'f564hfkj4shfee25';
$user = '123456';
$vcode = '7895';
//Initiate cURL.
//$ch = curl_init();
//The JSON data.
$jsonData = array(
'redeemcode' => $code,
'gameid' => $user,
'vcode' => $vcode,
'language' => 'en'
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
//Encode the array into JSON.
$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($jsonData);
//Tell cURL that we want to send a POST request.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Attach our encoded JSON string to the POST fields.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);
//Set the content type to application/json
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'https://m.awebsite.com/en/exchange');
//Execute the request
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Do you think there is a way to post data using php?

Answer 1

Yes, you can send post with cURL to other domain but... the other domain (https://api.awebsite.com/api/redeem) need allow the access with a cross domian policy
<?PHP
//API Url
$url = 'https://api.awebsite.com/api/redeem';
$code = 'f564hfkj4shfee25';
$user = '123456';
$vcode = '7895';
//Initiate cURL.
//$ch = curl_init();
//The JSON data.
$jsonData = array(
'redeemcode' => $code,
'gameid' => $user,
'vcode' => $vcode,
'language' => 'en'
);
$ch = curl_init();
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
//Encode the array into JSON.
$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($jsonData);
$defaults = array(
CURLOPT_URL => $url,
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $jsonDataEncoded,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: application/json'),
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false // <= Skip the secure validation
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, ($defaults));
//Execute the request
echo $result = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
var_dump($info);
curl_close($ch);
