There's a few noticable things.
1. You are using both
CURLOPT_POST and
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST options. Both are not needed.
2. As
@eldes pointed out, you're encoding an array within an array to JSON - so you're getting a nested JSON. Most APIs expect a single object and this could be why your request is being rejected by OpenAPI servers
To give you an example, this is your current code
PHP:
$data = array(
"Phone" => "7656493111"
);
$data = json_encode(array($data));
The above code, will result in the below output
JSON:
[
{
"Phone": "7656493111"
}
]
Now, let's remove the second array
PHP:
$data = array(
"Phone" => "7656493111"
);
$data = json_encode($data);
Your JSON object produced is now
JSON:
{
"Phone": "7656493111"
}
3. cURL is good at returning errors.
If an error occurs, first of all
curl_exec() will return false, once/if that happens, we can use
curl_error() to echo the errors - so you can determine what is happening.
4. Finally, close your cURL sessions man! Come on -
Below is the code with the fixes, see if you're able to get it to work
PHP:
// API URL
$url = "https://openapi.api.com/api/v2/open/customers/10005182";
// Create a new cURL Resource
$curl = curl_init($url);
// Setup request to send json via POST
$data = array(
"Phone" => "7656493111"
);
// Encode the data as JSON
$data = json_encode($data);
// Attach encoded JSON string to the POST fields
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
// Set the content type to application/json
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: ApiKey DEMO', 'Content-Type:application/json'));
// Return response instead of outputting
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Make a POST Request
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// Execute cURL request and capture response
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
// Check for errors in the cURL request
if ($resp === false) {
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($curl);
} else {
print_r($resp);
}
// Close cURL session
curl_close($curl);
