I am trying to send a GET request to a REST API with a custom header, and I've followed tutorials and looked on here, but nothing I tried has worked. Am I missing something from this code?
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://manager.gimbal.com/api/beacons/");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$headers = array(
'Content-type: application/json',
'authorization: Token token={token}',
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
print($result);
?>
I have the correct token, it worked when I used a REST client.

I am trying to set the APIKEY value in CURL for authentication to the IBM Natural Language Understanding API in a PHP application.
I have no problem using the ...CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$usname:$pword"... option in my CURL call, but I'm not sure how to use the new API apikey:"xxxxx" method. There is only a apiKey provided now.
I've also tried placing the authorization apikey in my $header_args section like this:
$header_args = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Authorization: apikey:xxxxxxx
);
// Set options for REST call via curl
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $endpointurl);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); //set to 'true' so array returns to $result
//curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$usname:$pword"); <= this works fine
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'apikey:' . $apikey);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header_args);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
I expect that i receive results in $results. instead I receive
{"code":401, "error": "Unauthorized"}
Even I too faced the same issue but with c code.
Firstly you check with the postman whether your endpoints are working, if it is working then there is a problem in your code.
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'apikey:' . $apikey); -> did not work for me .
So I sent the API key in the header.
The header format you followed requires small correction it is :
use x-api-key:"apiKey value" instead of Authorization
$header_args = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'x-api-key: apikey:xxxxxxx
);
While I am able to receive the initial Strava oAuth Code through the authorize? process on the Strava page, I am struggling with the token exchange process described here: https://developers.strava.com/docs/authentication/
Code below does only result in
Sorry, this one stays red.

I am quite new to the Strava API, but also directly pasting the resulting URL in the browser does result in the same page response.
$url = "https://www.strava.com/oauth/token?client_id=XXXXX&client_secret=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&code=".$code."&grant_type=authorization_code";
echo "<br />".$url;
$cURL = curl_init();
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Accept: application/json'
));
$result = curl_exec($cURL);
curl_close($cURL);
print_r($result);
?>
Thanks in Advance for your support on this matter !
#Chris White solved it, was using POST instead of GET. Thanks for the help
echo "<br />".$url;
$cURL = curl_init();
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Accept: application/json'
));
$result = curl_exec($cURL);
curl_close($cURL);
print_r($result);

I'm trying to use Application Only Authentication, as described here:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/overview/application-only
I'm using the following PHP code to do so.
if(empty($_COOKIE['twitter_auth'])) {
require '../../social_audit_config/twitter_config.php';
$encoded_key = urlencode($api_key);
$encoded_secret = urlencode($api_secret);
$credentials = $encoded_key.":".$encoded_secret;
$encoded_credentials = base64_encode($credentials);
$request_headers = array(
'Host: api.twitter.com',
'User-Agent: BF Sharing Report',
'Authorization: Basic '.$encoded_credentials,
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8',
'Content-Length: 29',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
);
print_r($request_headers);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $request_headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'grant_type=client_credentials');
$attempt_auth = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($attempt_auth);
}
It should return JSON with the token in it, but instead it returns gobbledygook, as seen in the image below:
I'm sure I'm missing some very simple step, where am I going wrong?
If I send the curl request without the headers, it returns an error in JSON format as expected, so is there something wrong with my headers?
You have few options here. Instead of setting header directly, use below
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip');
If you set header directly then you should use
print_r(gzdecode($attempt_auth));
See below thread as well

$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Authorization: hmac ' .$websiteKey.':'.$hmac .':'.$nonce . ':'.$time;
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
var_dump($result);
curl_close($curl);
I have the code above, i want to post to an api. Somehow its not working. I tried using a var_dump on the result variable. The result is:
string(117) "{"Message":"The request entity's media type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is not supported for this resource."}"
Any idea why its not posting to the api?
The value of the $post=
{"AmountDebit":10,"Currency":"EUR","Invoice":"testinvoice 123","Services":{"ServiceList":[{"Action":"Pay","Name":"ideal","Parameters":[{"Name":"issuer","Value":"ABNANL2A"}]}]}}
Headers:
$headers[] = 'Authorization: hmac ' .$websiteKey.':'.$hmac .':'.$nonce . ':'.$time;
If you don't specify a Content-Type header when making a POST call with Curl, it will add one in with the value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
From the Everything Curl book:
POSTing with curl's -d option will make it include a default header that looks like Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. That's what your typical browser will use for a plain POST.
Many receivers of POST data don't care about or check the Content-Type header.
If that header is not good enough for you, you should, of course, replace that and instead provide the correct one.
Judging by your request, I imagine you'll need to add the following to the top of your script:
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
But depending on the exact API you're posting to, this might need to be different.
Have You installed curl before using it.
If it not install try google for Curl installation
and use my curl function for post request its 100% working-
public function curlPostJson() {
$headers = [];
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
$headers[] = 'Content-Length: ' .strlen(json_encode($paramdata));
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($paramdata));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($server_output);
}
I just got API access for one of the website on the internet, and as a new api developer i got into troubles understanding how should i start and with what, So hope you guys guide me . They don't have Documents or tutorials Yet.
If anyone can give me a small example on how to send Http post request that includes Header and body? As what they are mentioning in the API page:
All requests must include an Authorization header with siteid and
apikey (with a colon in between) and it must match with the siteid and
apikey in the request body
In the body the Parameter content type will be application/json. They have also provided a Base URL.
The response will be as application/json.
What should i do? is the request can be sent using AJAX? or there is PHP code for this? i have been reading a lot about this subject but none enter my head. Really hope you guys help me out .
Please let me know if you need more information so i can provide it to you.
EDIT : Problem solved and just posting the small editing that i did to the code that was provided in the correct answer that i marked .
Thanks to Mr. Anonymous for the big help that he gave me . His answer was so so close, all what i had to do is just edit his code a little bit and everything went good .
I will list the finial code down bellow in case any other developer had this issue or wanted to do an HTTP request .
First what i did is that i stored the data that i wanted to send over the HTTP in a file with a JSON type :
{
"criteria": {
"landmarkId": 181,
"checkInDate": "2018-02-25",
"checkOutDate": "2018-02-30"
}
}
Second thing as what guys can see what Mr. Anonymous posted .
<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
$SiteID= 'My Site Id';
$ApiId= 'My Api Id';
$url = 'Base URL';
// Here i will get the data that i created in Json data type
$data = file_get_contents("data.json");
// I guess this step in not required cause the data are already in JSON but i had to do it for myself
$arrayData = json_decode($data, true);
$ch = curl_init();
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$SiteID:$ApiID");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Connection: Keep-Alive',
'Authorization: $SiteID:$ApiId'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,json_encode($arrayData));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($result);
?>
Try this
$site_id = 'your_site_id';
$api_key = 'your_api_key';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api-connect-url');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
############ Only one of the statement as per condition ###########
//if they have asked for post
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$site_id=$api_key" );
//or if they have asked for raw post
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$site_id:$api_key" );
####################################################################
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ["$site_id:$api_key"] );
$api_response = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
As asker need to send JSON Payload to API
$site_id = 'your_site_id';
$api_key = 'your_api_key';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api-connect-url');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//send json payload
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{

);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ["$site_id:$api_key", 'Content-Type:application/json'] );
$api_response = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
