Laravel Guzzle params - php

Question

I have this curl request from the API docs
curl https://apidev.aaa.co.uk/api/v1/vouchers/2869512_1-9FDD --user TOKAN-HO:2eL4aKsSGCaN4FH8 -k
Now I'm trying to call this request with Laravel 5.1 using Guzzle library, so I do this
public function testacorne()
{
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$res = $client->get('https://apidev.aaa.co.uk/api/v1/vouchers/claimed', [
'form_params' => [
'user' => 'TOKAN-HO:2eL4aKsSGCaN4FH8'
]
]);
dd($res);
}
This is what i get
ClientException in RequestException.php line 107:
Client error: `GET https://apidev.aaa.co.uk/api/v1/vouchers/claimed` resulted in a `401 Unauthorized` response:
{
"Message": "Authorization has been denied for this request."
}
But the username and password are correct. How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Most likely --user in this case is used for Basic Auth with cURL. Try sending authorization data not by form data, but in the same way as cURL.
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->get('https://apidev.aaa.co.uk/api/v1/vouchers/claimed', [
'auth' => [
'TOKAN-HO', '2eL4aKsSGCaN4FH8'
]
]);
