Issue in getting data using CURL

Question

I am sending request to API using CURL, but not able to get request. The API works well when you call it directly in browser.

Here is the link

http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/info?cid=55505&minorRev=99&apiKey=5d9cp7nfxruc7p788fvvqpwn&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&hotelId=123912

my CURL code is here

  $post_string1 = "cid=55505&minorRev=99&apiKey=5d9cp7nfxruc7p788fvvqpwn&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&type=xml&hotelId=123912";  

  $path1 = "http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/info"; //Relative path to the file with $_POST parsing

$ch1 = curl_init($path1); 
$fp1 = fopen('hotel.xml','w');
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string1); //Send the data to the file
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/xml')); 
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp1);
$val = curl_exec($ch1);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch1);
curl_close($ch1);//Close curl session
fclose($fp1); //Close file overwrite

//$hotel = simplexml_load_file('hotel.xml');

echo '<pre>';print_r($info);

I get http 405 code. Please advice what i am doing wrong.

403 forbidden: your credentials aren't valid. As simple as that. — STT LCU

Remove url from $post_string1, it only should contain the post params. $post_string1 = 'cid=55505&minorRev=99&apiKey=5d9cp7nfxruc7p788fvvqpwn&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&type=xml&hotelId=123912'; — Fracsi

405 Method Not Allowed: you can't use POST when the server was expecting a GET (or vice-versa) — STT LCU

yes, but we want to know WHY shazad's code does not work and yours do. We're not just looking for code, but for knowledge! — STT LCU

Check this

$post_string1 = "http://api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/info?cid=55505&minorRev=99&apiKey=5d9cp7nfxruc7p788fvvqpwn&locale=en_US&currencyCode=USD&type=xml&hotelId=123912";  
$header[] = "Accept: application/json";
  $header[] = "Accept-Encoding: gzip";
  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header );
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING , "gzip");
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, $post_string1 );
  curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
  $response = json_decode(curl_exec($ch));
  print_r($response);  exit;

Thanks srivi. I think POST method is not allowed in this api. Can i use this code in loop to get data for multiple hotels?

Padmanathan J Over a year ago

if you want multi hotel result use api.ean.com/ean-services/rs/hotel/v3/list?minorRev=14. Please read this documentation developer.ean.com. Its contain all your need with examples

M Shahzad Khan Over a year ago

By multiple i meant, keep requesting with different hotel Id's in foreach or for loop. Possible?

@NathanSrivi you shouldn't fish so hard for points. It's a bad practice to accept an answer within the first 24hrs.
