I’m trying to convert the line below to be used with PHP whilst also learning how to use CURL!
$ curl -X POST -d 'key=YOUR_KEY&secret=YOUR_SECRET' "https://api.example.co.uk/authenticate" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Bellow is what I have so far, however I keep getting HTTP ERROR 403 UnauthorizedException accessing service error, so I think the key and secret and not being sent correctly.
$curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($curl, array( CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.example.co.uk/authenticate", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST", CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{"key": "MYKEY","secret": "MYSECRET"}", CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array( "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ), )); $response = curl_exec($curl); $err = curl_error($curl); curl_close($curl); if ($err) { echo "cURL Error #:" . $err; } else { echo $response; }
