CloudMQTT API Guzzle - php

Question

I have a problem with translating curl to guzzle request.
In docs to create a user i just need to post:
$ curl -XPOST -d '{"username":"test", "password":"super_secret_password"}' -H "Content-Type:application/json" -u "$CLOUDMQTT_USER:$CLOUDMQTT_PASSWORD" https://api.cloudmqtt.com/user
In my project I cannot use curl, so i use guzzle:
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->post('https://api.cloudmqtt.com/user', ['auth' => ['xxx', 'xxx'], 'body' => ["username"=>"user", "password"=>"super_secret_password"]]);
And user is created, I can see new user on the users list on panel, but server is responsing with 500 when creating the user. What am I doing wrong? Maybe my guzzle request is wrong format? I have no idea

Answer 1

This will match up your Guzzle request to the curl request, although I can't say for sure that will solve your 500 error:
$client = new Client([
'headers' => [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' ]
]);
$response = $client->post('https://api.cloudmqtt.com/user',
[
'auth' => ['xxx', 'xxx'],
'body' => json_encode(
[
"username"=>"user",
"password"=>"super_secret_password"
]
)
]
);
The differences here include setting the Content-Type header and also encoding the body to json instead of an array (which may not have an effect here?).
EDIT:
It looks like the json parameter will automatically set the header and json_encode the body for you:
$client = new Client();
$response = $client->post('https://api.cloudmqtt.com/user',
[
'auth' => ['xxx', 'xxx'],
'json' =>
[
"username"=>"user",
"password"=>"super_secret_password"
]
]
);
