$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.voluum.com/auth/session");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"email\":\"MY_EMAIL\",\"password\":\"MY_PASSWORD\"}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8";
$headers[] = "Accept: application/json";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$vars = '{"email":"MY_EMAIL","password":"MY_PASSWORD"}';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://api.voluum.com/auth/session");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars); //Post Fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$headers = ['Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Accept: application/json'];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
exit;
}
curl_close ($ch);
print_r($server_output);

You can do it like below:-
<?php
$data_string = '{"email":"MY_EMAIL","password":"MY_PASSWORD"}';
$ch = curl_init('https://api.voluum.com/auth/session');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Accept: application/json'
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
exit;
}
curl_close ($ch);
var_dump($result);
I run it and found below response (because i don't have mail-id and password):- https://prnt.sc/gdz82r
But the pleasant part is code executed successfully and when you will provide right credentials then it will give you correct output.
