Curl In Codeigniter - Error Code 22, HTTP GET - php

Question

I want to fetch data from Third_party API called BirdEye. I was using Core PHP Inbuilt Functions of CURL to fetch data, it was working fine, Now When I switched to Library I am bit confused because it doesn't gives me any response in return.
I have Downloaded Curl Libray from Here : Curl Library Download and Example
I tried to create a demo just to check my Library is working fine or not, it worked. Now If I fetch data from Bird-Eye Api I don't know It gives me nothing in response.
My Code is here:
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Welcome extends CI_Controller {
public function index()
{
$this->load->library('curl');
$get_url = "https://api.birdeye.com/resources/v1/business/147802929307762?api_key=ApiKeyGoesHere";
echo $this->curl->simple_get($get_url, false, array(CURLOPT_USERAGENT => true));
echo $this->curl->error_code;
$this->load->view('welcome_message');
}
}
I don't know where I am going wrong I am passing all the required parameters to the Api and when I try to echo error code it gives me 22. I even searched on birdeye documentation but nothing found.
Link to Api Documentation is : Link to BirdEye Api Documentation

So according to the BirdEye API your cURL script should be like the following:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.birdeye.com/resources/v1/business/businessId ");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
"Content-Type: application/json",
"Accept: application/json"
));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Now, when I'm comparing your library usage code to the example above, I see you're missing the definitions of several options.
Before adding those options to your code, try to follow this part:
In the example they're not using the APIKEY, but when you do use it, you might need to pass it as a parameter and not in the get_url variable.
Which means:
$get_url = "https://api.birdeye.com/resources/v1/business/147802929307762";
echo $this->curl->simple_get($get_url, array('api_key' => 'YourApiKeyGoesHere'), array(..));
If it still doesn't work, try to add the options to your code:
$this->load->library('curl');
$get_url = "https://api.birdeye.com/resources/v1/business/147802929307762?api_key=ApiKeyGoesHere";
echo $this->curl->simple_get($get_url, false, array(CURLOPT_USERAGENT => true, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, CURLOPT_HEADER => FALSE, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array("Content-Type: application/json", "Accept: application/json")));
echo $this->curl->error_code;
$this->load->view('welcome_message');
