Use Yii2 REST client to consume Yii2 REST API

I have created a REST API using the Yii2 documentation. It seems to be working fine as I can use curl like this:

curl -i "https://example.com/api/v3/user" \
    -H "Accept:application/json"  \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

I would now like to be able to consume this data from another Yii2 site. I am trying to use the Yii2 REST API client. I won't post the whole code as it's basically a copy of the Facebook client in yiisoft/yii2-authclient.

Does anyone know of a guide to help me amend this to comsume my API? In the first instance, I'm struggling with what to put for $authUrl and $tokenUrl.

If I am not wrong what you will need for this, is to use yiisoft/yii2-httpclient Ref: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-httpclient Add it: php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-httpclient

Then make the call «I would probably build a model to handle this»

use yii\httpclient\Client;

$client = new Client();
$response = $client->createRequest()
    ->setMethod('GET')
    ->setUrl('https://example.com/api/v3/user')
    ->addHeaders(['Authorization' => 'Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'])
    ->send();
if ($response->isOk) {
    // use your data
}

I am not sure if you need to extend outh2 class as I believe you don't have the authentication logic completed in the first Yii2 webapp, like authenticating using first webapp url then redirect to the second webapp to extract the token from url.

It could be simpler just create a component that have those methods 

class YourRestClient {
  const BASE_URL = 'https://example.com/api/v3';
  private $_token = null;

  public function authenticate($username,$password){
    $client = new Client();
    $response = $client->createRequest()
    ->setMethod('POST')
    ->setUrl(BASE_URL.'/user/login')
    ->setData(['username' => $username, 'password' => $password])
    ->send();
    if ($response->isOk) {
        $this->_token = $response->data['token'];
    }
  }

    public function logout(){
      //your logut logic
    }

    public function refreshToken(){
      //your refresh logic 
    }

    public function userList(){
      $client = new Client();
      $response = $client->createRequest()
      ->setMethod('GET')
      ->setUrl(BASE_URL.'/user/users')
      ->addHeaders([
          'content-type' => 'application/json',
          'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.$_token,
      ])
      ->send();
      if ($response->isOk) {
          return $response->getData();
      }
    }
}
