Google Cloud Speech API using php

I am trying to call Google Cloud Speech API by using PHP and got a problem.

$stturl = "https://speech.googleapis.com/v1beta1/speech:syncrecognize?key=xxxxxxxxxxxx";
$upload = file_get_contents("1.wav");
$upload = base64_encode($upload);

$data = array(
    "config"    =>  array(
        "encoding"      =>  "LINEAR16",
        "sampleRate"    =>  16000,
        "languageCode"  =>  "en-US"
    ),
    "audio"     =>  array(
        "Content"       =>  $upload,
    )
);

$jsonData = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $stturl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonData);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

The result says that it is INVALID JSON PAYLOAD.

{ "error": { "code": 400, "message": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"content\" at 'audio': Cannot find field.", "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT", "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest", "fieldViolations": [ { "field": "audio", "description": "Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"content\" at 'audio': Cannot find field." } ] } ] } } "

I think this is because $upload isn't configured correctly. According Google Cloud Speech API, it should be "A base64-encoded string". https://cloud.google.com/speech/reference/rest/v1beta1/RecognitionAudio

That's why I used base64_encode function, but it seems JSON doesn't process this value correctly. Any thoughts?

You need to construct the properly formatted input as an array and then json encode it. For example, to send a file, base64encode it as "content" and submit to the API as shown:

$data = array(
    "config" => array(
        "encoding" => "LINEAR16",
        "sample_rate" => $bitRate,
        "language_code" => "en-IN"
    ),
   "audio" => array(
        "content" => base64_encode($filedata)
    )
);

$data_string = json_encode($data);                                                              

$ch = curl_init($googlespeechURL);                                                                      
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");                                                                     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);                                                                  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);                                                                      
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(                                                                          
   'Content-Type: application/json',                                                                                
   'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))                                                                       
);                                                                                                                   

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result_array = json_decode($result, true);
