POST data for url with cuRL - php

Question

I am trying to send some data to an curl URL to obtain a key.
The curl command is:
curl -X POST "http://website.com/api/open/oauth/token" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: xx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "grant_type=password&username=xxx#yahoo.com&password=xxxx"
Any idea how this will look into a php code to get the response key ?

Answer 1

You can try like this,
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://website.com/api/open/oauth/token");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "grant_type=password&username=xxx#yahoo.com&password=xxxx");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Accept: application/json";
$headers[] = "Authorization: xx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

Using cURL, you can do something like this:
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "http://website.com/api/open/oauth/token",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "grant_type=password&username=xxx%40yahoo.com&password=xxxx",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"accept: application/json",
"authorization: xx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"cache-control: no-cache",
"content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"postman-token: ac46b74a-6b24-85a4-36ea-4867a3bd3eda"
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
}
You can also use the HttpRequest class:
<?php
$request = new HttpRequest();
$request->setUrl('http://website.com/api/open/oauth/token');
$request->setMethod(HTTP_METH_POST);
$request->setHeaders(array(
'postman-token' => '67cba408-41b5-7c86-568f-437e27abfa08',
'cache-control' => 'no-cache',
'content-type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'authorization' => 'xx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'accept' => 'application/json'
));
$request->setContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$request->setPostFields(array(
'grant_type' => 'password',
'username' => 'xxx#yahoo.com',
'password' => 'xxxx'
));
try {
$response = $request->send();
echo $response->getBody();
} catch (HttpException $ex) {
echo $ex;
}
