it says bad request means i am wrong with my url but in the docs it said it should be like these or i am wrong on sending my apikey.
please help me here thanks.

You are sending a POST request to scrapinghub which is the message of your badrequest status as method not allowed. instead you can try sending a GET request through PHP curl like so
$url = 'https://app.scrapinghub.com/api/jobs/list.json';
$ch = curl_init();
$curl_opts = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => 1,
CURLOPT_HEADER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => $url."?project=projectid&spider=spiderid",
CURLOPT_USERPWD => "apikey"
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curl_opts);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo '<pre>';
print $response;
echo '</pre>';
