I'm trying to upload a .csv file to an API. The API documentation says to post it like this:
curl --user username:password
--request POST
--data-binary #yourfile.csv
https://api.example.com/api
This works perfectly.
in PHP I have it like this:
$data = array('myfile' => 'myfile.csv');
$curl = curl_init('https://api.example.com/api');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username" . ":" . "password");
$result = curl_exec($curl);
echo $result;
The results do equal what the API documentation says is the correct response (and is the same response as when using the command line) however it does not actually upload the contents of the file.
is my PHP structure correct? Thanks.

I have a curl command that worls perfectly form the SSH shell, but cannot get it working with PHP Version 7.4.3.
I have tried several times using just about every example I can find on the Internet, all of them return a blank html page when run.
Here is the curl command (with user/pass and IP etc changed for obvious reasons);
curl \
--user someuser:password \
--data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [] }' \
-H 'content-type: text/plain;' \
http://195.86.111.23:8223/
Can someone please educate me on how to turn this into something PHP can use?
I am currently testing with this code, but get an error "{"result":null,"error":{"code":-32600,"message":"Params must be an array"},"id":"curltest"} "
$payload=array();
$payload['jsonrpc']='1.0';
$payload['id']='curltest';
$payload['method']='getinfo';
$payload['params']='[]';
$payload=json_encode($payload);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $pass);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR, 3);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$res=curl_exec($ch);
echo $res;
I have also tried using an automated tool here - https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ which seems to convert my curl command to PHP okay, but the page is empty on loading the provided code.
$payload = ["jsonrpc" => "1.0", id => "curltest", "method" => "getinfo", "params" => [] ];
Simple solution!
hi am new to curl but need it for a particular project could you help me format this code to work i would like to get the results and print out the raw JSON on the page here is the code i am using
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "curl -u api key: https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies");
$x = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
print($x);
this is a link to the api page i am trying to use
https://developer.companieshouse.gov.uk/api/docs/search/companies/companysearch.html
this is the example they give on the page
curl -uYOUR_APIKEY_FOLLOWED_BY_A_COLON:
https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies
these are the parameters for the call if possible i would like to set them as well
q (required)
items_per_page (optional)
start_index (optional)
I simplified your request.you can try this by using below code.
$params = array("q"=>"<Some Value>","items_per_page"=>"<Some Value>","start_index"=>"<Some Value>");
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "api key:");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?".http_build_query($params));
$x = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
print($x);
Thanks for this opportunity to learn more of curl :-)
I tested the code below, it works. Of course you must be registered on the site and you must have got your API key. You will then provide it as username/password, but without username (this is written here on the site).
$searchvalue= 'Test';
$curl = curl_init("https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=$searchvalue");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "your_api_key_provided_by_the_site");
// curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); // when debugging : to show returning header
$rest = #curl_exec($curl);
print_r($rest);
if(curl_errno($curl))
{
echo 'Curl error : ' . curl_error($curl);
}
#curl_close($curl);
I have an existing PHP script, which essentially connects to 2 databases each on a different server and performs a few MySQL queries on each. The ultimate results are stored in a data array which is used to write said results into a JSON file.
All of this works perfectly. The data is inserted into the mysql table correctly and the JSON file is exactly the way it should be.
However, I need to add a block to the end of my script that makes a POST request to one of our affiliate's API and upload the info there. We're currently manually uploading this JSON file to the api instance but we have the configuration data for their server to use in a POST request now so that when this script is run it automatically sends the data rather than us having to manually update it.
The main thing is I'm not exactly sure how to go about that. I've started with code for doing this but I'm not familiar with cURL so I don't know the best way to structure this in php.
Here is an example the affiliate gave me in cURL command line syntax:
curl \
-H "Authorization: Token AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: CONTENT_TYPE" \
-X POST \
-d '[{"email": "jason#yourcompany.com", "date": "8/16/2016", "calls": "3"}]'
\
https://endpoint/api/v1/data/DATA_TYPE/
I have my auth token, my endpoint URL and my content type is JSON, which can be seen in my code below. Also, I have an array instead of the example for the body above.
and here's the affected part of my code:
//new array specifically for the final JSON file
$content2 = [];
//creating array for new fetch since it now has the updated extension IDs
while ($d2 = mysqli_fetch_array($data2, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
// Store the current row
$content2[] = $d2;
}
// Store it all into our final JSON file
file_put_contents('ambitionLog.json', json_encode($content2, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT ));
//Beginning code to upload to Ambition API via POST
$url = 'endpoint here';
//Initiate CURL
$ch = curl_init($url);
//JSON data
$jsonDataEncodeUpload = json_encode($content2, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
//POST via CURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//attach JSON to post fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncodeUpload);
//set content type
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
//execuate request
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
So, like I said, nothing about the file or the data needs to be changed, I just need to have this cURL section take the existing array that's being written to a JSON file and upload it to the API via post. I just need help making my php syntax for curl match the command line example.
Thanks for any possible help.
Have you tried with file_get_contents ( http://en.php.net/file_get_contents ).
$postdata = http_build_query(
array(
'var1' => 'some content',
'var2' => 'doh'
)
);
$opts = array('http' =>
array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'content' => $postdata
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/submit.php', false, $context);
I have found the answer on stackoverflow How to post data in PHP using file_get_contents?
Here is worked example of code. Check $err may be it will be helpful.
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST('data'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type:application/json']);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
$err = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I need upload a file using php. I have the following code that I am using
<?php
$file = realpath('hello_world.jpg');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.newocr.com/v1/upload?key=*My key*');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('file' => '#'.$file));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
curl_close ($ch);
?>
On executing I get the error msg
{"status":"error","message":"File must be uploaded.
https://www.newocr.com/api/"}
But when I manually make a form and upload the image using multipart it works fine. Is something wrong with my code or the issue is with the API
Executing it from command line like this
curl -X POST -F "file=#hello_world.jpg" http://api.newocr.com/v1/upload?key=*my api key*
Works fine
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, TRUE);
Now, it is giving:
404 Page Not Found
The page you are looking for could not be found. Check the address bar to ensure your URL is spelled correctly. If all else fails, you can visit our home page at the link below.
Visit the Home Page
I had the same problem.
Solution:
<?php
$result = exec('curl -H "Expect:" -F file=#'.realpath($file).' http://api.newocr.com/v1/upload?key=KEY');
$result = json_decode($result, true);
return $result;
?>
I am using cURL for the first time. I have to send one image file and one audio file posted by the user.
My cURL code is working, but instead of an image file and an audio file my code is sending a .tmp file.
I googled it, but in every example I found they have used realpath of file directly.
I tried to find real path of the file, but I didn't find any solution.
Here is my code block in which I am collecting all data in an array to pass it to cURL:
$name = $_POST['name'];
$image = $_POST['image']['name'];
$imagetmp = $_POST['image']['tmp_name'];
$imagesize = $_POST['image']['size'];
$imagepath = '#'.$imagetmp;
$audio = $_POST['audio']['name'];
$audiotmp = $_POST['audio']['tmp_name'];
$audiosize = $_POST['audio']['size'];
$audiopath = '#'.$audiotmp;
$data = array("name" => $name, "image"=> $imagepath, "audio" => $audiopath); //array to sned data using cURL
//my cURL code to post data
Where am I doing wrong? How to send files using cURL?
This is what I used to post file data:
$filedata = file_get_contents('file_location/filename.jpg');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $filedata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$return = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
You can use file=#path with curl
curl -kiSs -X POST https://<domain>/path/to/api/files/ \
-F "param1=param2" \
-F "file=#/path/to/test.xlsx" \
-H "Authorization":"bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsIn"
File successfully uploaded (test.xlsx!)
