How can i request Http with authorization headers

Question

I have issue with Guzzle POST request

here's my code

$req = $client->request('POST', $endpoint, [
      'headers' => [
          'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
          'Authorization' => 'Basic '.$this->api_credential
         ], $body);

its always response 401 "Please include your API key as an Authorization header"

do i have to encode base64 the credential ?

and its using basic authorization

what credentials are you talking about? what does the API documentation say it wants? — lagbox

The solution will be based on your API provider's specs. Can you link to a reference guide from this API provider? — Rehmat

Based on the API you are trying to authenticate with you will need to base64_encode the credentials for Basic authentication (username:password)[where username is your API Secret Key and password will be blank]:

For the Authorization header:

'Authorization' => 'Basic '. base64_encode($this->api_credential .':'),

Use Bearer instead of Basic authorization. Hope it will solve the issue

$req = $client->request('POST', $endpoint, [
      'headers' => [
          'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
          'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.$this->api_credential
         ], $body);

Please make sure that your server accept authorisation header. .htaccess code to accept authorisation header is given below

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

You can check if the server accept authorisation code by using the following curl request

$ch = curl_init();  
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://yourendpoint.com/apiFile.php'  );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Authorization: Basic ' .$api_credential
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);    
$returnData = json_decode($result, true);
