I am having an issue with an app created in Lumen and Guzzlehttp requests.
Looks like I cannot pass options like JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES whenever I am doing a request:
$response = (new Client())->request($this->typeRequest, $endpoint, $options);
This is hitting my server with escaped slashes ("one\/two") and causing some troubles.
Everything seems to be related with the vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Client.php into applyOptions() function which is using jsonEncode and not giving the option to pass anything:
$options['body'] = Utils::jsonEncode($options['json']);
This can be easily fixed just putting the option into jsonEncode:
$options['body'] = Utils::jsonEncode($options['json'], JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
The issue here is in case I am updating something with composer then will be override.
How can I resolve an issue like this?
You can just pass body directly:
['body'=>json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)].
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
//...
$request = new Request('POST', $endpoint, ['content-type' => 'application/json'], json_encode($data, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES));
$response = (new Client())->send($request);
i'm using PHP with Guzzle.
I have this code:
$client = new Client();
$request = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('POST', 'http://localhost/async-post/tester.php',[
'headers' => ['Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'],
'form_params' => [
'action' => 'TestFunction'
],
]);
$promise = $client->sendAsync($request)->then(function ($response) {
echo 'I completed! ' . $response->getBody();
});
$promise->wait();
For some reason Guzzle Doesn't send the POST Parameters.
Any suggestion?
Thanks :)
I see 2 things.
The parameters have to go as string (json_encode)
And you were also including them as part of the HEADER, not the BODY.
Then i add a function to handle the response as ResponseInterface
$client = new Client();
$request = new Request('POST', 'https://google.com', ['Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'], json_encode(['form_params' => ['s' => 'abc',] ]));
/** #var Promise\PromiseInterface $response */
$response = $client->sendAsync($request);
$response->then(
function (ResponseInterface $res) {
echo $res->getStatusCode() . "\n";
},
function (RequestException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage() . "\n";
echo $e->getRequest()->getMethod();
}
);
$response->wait();
In this test Google responds with a
Client error: POST https://google.com resulted in a 405 Method Not Allowed
But is ok. Google doesn't accepts request like this.
Guzzle isn't truely asynchronous. It's more of multi-threading. That is why you have the wait() line to prevent the your current PHP script from closing until all multiple spun threads finish. If you remove the wait() line, the PHP process spun by the script ends immediately with all it's threads and your request is never sent.
Ergo, you need Guzzle (and Curl) for multi-processing(concurrent) I/O and not for asynchronous I/O. In your case, you are processing one request and Guzzle promises are simply an overkill.
To send a request with Guzzle, simply do this:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
$client = new Client();
$header = ['Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'];
$body = json_encode(['id' => '2', 'name' => 'dan']);
$request = new Request('POST', 'http://localhost/async-post/tester.php', $header, $body);
$response = $client->send($request);
Also, it seems you are using the form action attribute rather than the actual form data in form-params.
I'm posting this answer because I tried to achieve something really asynchronous with php - Schedule I/O processing as a background task, continue processing script and serve the page; I/O continues in background and completes without disrupting the client. Laravel Queues was the best thing I could find.
How can I avoid Laravel replacing & with & when calling get_file_contents()? I always get a "Bad Request" response because of this,
which is not a problem when not using Laravel.
use file_get_contents(htmlspecialchars_decode($URL));
I solve my problem just use the " instead ' when building string URL path like follow:
public function __construct($url, $username, $password)
{
$this->url = $url;
$this->params = 'send?username='.$username.'&password='.$password.'&dlr=no';
}
to:
public function __construct($url, $username, $password)
{
$this->url = $url;
$this->params = "send?username=".$username."&password=".$password."&dlr=no";
}
Instead of use file_get_contents() you can use guzzlehttp/guzzle you can use this link for installation, and following example to send request and get response:
$client = new Client([
'base_uri' => $this->url,
'timeout' => 1.0,
]);
$request = $client->request('POST', $params);
$response = $request->getBody()->getContents();
You can access the content's of body by getContents() method, hop this help you.
I've created a custom Provider for Laravel Socialite.
The authentication part is going well until i'll try to call the user method.
Not sure what's going wrong.
Method documentation at wunderlist
My code:
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
protected function getUserByToken($token)
{
$response = $this->getHttpClient()->get('https://a.wunderlist.com/api/v1/users', [
'X-Access-Token: ' . $token . ' X-Client-ID: ' . $this->clientId
]);
return json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
}
I get the following error:
InvalidArgumentException in MessageFactory.php line 202:
allow_redirects must be true, false, or array
Do i miss things in the options array?
Jos
Actually socialite is not supposed to do something like this. But instead you may use Guzzle. There is a good video at laracasts. Just search for Easy HTTP Requests. And here's the code that you may use for guzzle:
$client = new \Guzzle\Service\Client('a.wunderlist.com/api/v1/');
$response = $client->get('user')->send();
// If you want this response in array:
$user = $response->json();
Just read the docs here.
When using this with straight forward curl there is no issue.
As far as i can see the issue lies in the headers i'll parse.
The following solution is something i can live with, although it's not perfect.
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'X-Access-Token: ' . $token;
$headers[] = 'X-Client-ID: ' . $this->clientId;
$response = $this->getHttpClient()->get('a.wunderlist.com/api/v1/user', [
'config' => [
'curl' => [
CURLOPT_POST => 0,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false
]
]
]);
return json_decode($response->getBody(), true);
What I want is get an object from an API with a HTTP (eg, jQuery's AJAX) request to an external api. How do I start? I did research on Mr Google but I can't find anything helping.
Im starting to wonder is this is even possible?
In this post Laravel 4 make post request from controller to external url with data it looks like it can be done. But there's no example nor any source where to find some documentation.
Please help me out?
Based upon an answer of a similar question here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/22695523/1412268
Take a look at Guzzle
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$res = $client->get('https://api.github.com/user', ['auth' => ['user', 'pass']]);
echo $res->getStatusCode(); // 200
echo $res->getBody(); // { "type": "User", ....
We can use package Guzzle in Laravel, it is a PHP HTTP client to send HTTP requests.
You can install Guzzle through composer
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.0
Or you can specify Guzzle as a dependency in your project's existing composer.json
{
"require": {
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0"
}
}
Example code in laravel 5 using Guzzle as shown below,
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
class yourController extends Controller {
public function saveApiData()
{
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('POST', 'https://url_to_the_api', [
'form_params' => [
'client_id' => 'test_id',
'secret' => 'test_secret',
]
]);
echo $res->getStatusCode();
// 200
echo $res->getHeader('content-type');
// 'application/json; charset=utf8'
echo $res->getBody();
// {"type":"User"...'
}
You just want to call an external URL and use the results? PHP does this out of the box, if we're talking about a simple GET request to something serving JSON:
$json = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://host.com/api/stuff/1'), true);
If you want to do a post request, it's a little harder but there's loads of examples how to do this with curl.
So I guess the question is; what exactly do you want?
As of Laravel v7.X, the framework now comes with a minimal API wrapped around the Guzzle HTTP client. It provides an easy way to make get, post, put, patch, and delete requests using the HTTP Client:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$response = Http::get('http://test.com');
$response = Http::post('http://test.com');
$response = Http::put('http://test.com');
$response = Http::patch('http://test.com');
$response = Http::delete('http://test.com');
You can manage responses using the set of methods provided by the Illuminate\Http\Client\Response instance returned.
$response->body() : string;
$response->json() : array;
$response->status() : int;
$response->ok() : bool;
$response->successful() : bool;
$response->serverError() : bool;
$response->clientError() : bool;
$response->header($header) : string;
$response->headers() : array;
Please note that you will, of course, need to install Guzzle like so:
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
There are a lot more helpful features built-in and you can find out more about these set of the feature here: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/http-client
This is definitely now the easiest way to make external API calls within Laravel.
Updated on March 21 2019
Add GuzzleHttp package using composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.3.3
Or you can specify Guzzle as a dependency in your project's composer.json
{
"require": {
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.3.3"
}
}
Include below line in the top of the class where you are calling the API
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
Add below code for making the request
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('POST', 'http://www.exmple.com/mydetails', [
'form_params' => [
'name' => 'george',
]
]);
if ($res->getStatusCode() == 200) { // 200 OK
$response_data = $res->getBody()->getContents();
}
Definitively, for any PHP project, you may want to use GuzzleHTTP for sending requests.
Guzzle has very nice documentation you can check here.
I just want to say that, you probably want to centralize the usage of the Client class of Guzzle in any component of your Laravel project (for example a trait) instead of being creating Client instances on several controllers and components of Laravel (as many articles and replies suggest).
I created a trait you can try to use, which allows you to send requests from any component of your Laravel project, just using it and calling to makeRequest.
namespace App\Traits;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
trait ConsumesExternalServices
{
/**
* Send a request to any service
* #return string
*/
public function makeRequest($method, $requestUrl, $queryParams = [], $formParams = [], $headers = [], $hasFile = false)
{
$client = new Client([
'base_uri' => $this->baseUri,
]);
$bodyType = 'form_params';
if ($hasFile) {
$bodyType = 'multipart';
$multipart = [];
foreach ($formParams as $name => $contents) {
$multipart[] = [
'name' => $name,
'contents' => $contents
];
}
}
$response = $client->request($method, $requestUrl, [
'query' => $queryParams,
$bodyType => $hasFile ? $multipart : $formParams,
'headers' => $headers,
]);
$response = $response->getBody()->getContents();
return $response;
}
}
Notice this trait can even handle files sending.
If you want more details about this trait and some other stuff to integrate this trait to Laravel, check this article. Additionally, if interested in this topic or need major assistance, you can take my course which guides you in the whole process.
I hope it helps all of you.
Best wishes :)
Basic Solution for Laravel 8 is
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$response = Http::get('http://example.com');
I had conflict between "GuzzleHTTP sending requests" and "Illuminate\Http\Request;" don't ask me why... [it's here to be searchable]
So looking for 1sec i found in Laravel 8 Doc...
**Guzzle is inside the Laravel 8 Http Request !**
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/http-client#making-requests
as you can see
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/http-client#introduction
Laravel provides an expressive, minimal API around the Guzzle HTTP
client, allowing you to quickly make outgoing HTTP requests to
communicate with other web applications. Laravel's wrapper around
Guzzle is focused on its most common use cases and a wonderful
developer experience.
It worked for me very well, have fun and if helpful point up!
I also created trait similar to #JuanDMeGonthat's that u can use anywhere in your project.Please check this out
trait ApiRequests
{
public function get($url, $data = null)
{
try {
$response = Http::get($this->base_url . $url, $data);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
info($e->getMessage());
abort(503);
}
if ( $response->status() == 401) {
throw new AuthenticationException();
} else if (! $response->successful()) {
abort(503);
}
return $response->json();
}
public function post($url, $data = [])
{
$token = session()->get('token');
try {
$response = Http::acceptJson()->withToken($token)->post($this->base_url . $url, $data);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
abort(503);
}
if ($response->status() == 401 && !request()->routeIs('login')) {
throw new AuthenticationException();
}
return $response;
}
}
class Controller extends BaseController
{
protected $base_url;
use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests, ApiRequests;
public function __construct()
{
$this->base_url = env("BASE_URL","http://192.168.xxxxxxx");
View::share('base_url', $this->base_url);
}
}
You can use Httpful :
Website : http://phphttpclient.com/
Github : https://github.com/nategood/httpful
Here is the simple call for laravel 9.4
Route::get('/currency', function () {
$response = Http::withHeaders([
'x-api-key' => 'prtl6749387986743898559646983194',
])->get('https://partners.api.skyscanner.net/apiservices/v3/culture/currencies');
return response()->json(['status'=> true,'data'=> json_decode($response->body()), 'Message'=>"Currency retrieved successfully"], 200);
});
Don't forget to import
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
