Guzzle POST request to JWT API get Unauthorized while Postman is working

Guzzle POST request to JWT API get Unauthorized while Postman is working. Here is the code:

public function __construct()
{
    $this->client = new Client();
    $this->connect();
}

public function connect()
{
    $loginResult = $this->client->request('POST', config('api.base_uri') .'/auth/login', [
        'form_params' => [
            'email' => config('api.login'),
            'password' => config('api.password'),
        ]
    ]);

    dd(json_decode($loginResult->getBody()));

}

I got 401 Unauthorized while running this code. Credentials are passed correctly. Meanwhile in Postman it is working perfectly: While in Postman it is working perfectly

Kindly advise me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

UPDATE Following is controller and function this request is hitting in API side:

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:api', ['except' => ['login']]);
    }

    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        $credentials = $request->only(['email', 'password']);

        if (!$token = auth('api')->attempt($credentials)) {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthorized '.$credentials['email']], 401);
        }

        return $this->respondWithToken($token);
    }
...

User does exist as it is working in Postman

UPDATE 2 I have simplified code to find that is wrong to:

Route::get('/guzzle', function () {
    $client = new Client([
        'headers' => [
            'Accept' => 'application/json'
        ]]);

    $loginResult =
        $client->request('POST', config('pics.base_uri') .'/auth/login', [
            'form_params' => [
                'email' => '****@****.com',
                'password' => '*****',
            ]
        ]);

    dd(json_decode($loginResult->getBody()));
});

And it does not work - got same error

Run php artisan config:cache on both sites to solve this problem.

Two sites on Apache on Windows requires cached configurations. It's a known but non-documented problem. Run php artisan config:cache on both sites.

Okay... after couple of hours and kind help of Kyslik I was able to find the clue of this issue. Actually what did helped me is debugging and looking up the error I get. Eventually I found following post (https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/issues/1413#issuecomment-222031665) which states kind of strange thing:

Guzzle won't work at all if the same instance of PHP is used to send the Request from Guzzle, and to respond that request

I moved everything to hosting and it worked like a charm. Hope that will help someone in future.

Thanks everyone who envolved finding solution and of course to Kyslik!

Try using the json option in the Guzzle options in your POST request instead of the form_params.

public function connect()
{
    $loginResult = $this->client->request('POST', config('api.base_uri') .'/auth/login', [
        'json' => [
            'email' => config('api.login'),
            'password' => config('api.password'),
        ]
    ]);

    dd(json_decode($loginResult->getBody()));

}

form_params should be used with non-json endpoints.

More information on the json property: http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html#uploading-data

EDIT an example for an endpoint that accepts form-params but returns JSON, which might be what you have:

public function __construct()
{
    $this->client = new Client()
    $this->connect();
}

public function connect()
{
    $loginResult = $this->client->request('POST', config('api.base_uri') .'/auth/login', [
        'form_params' => [
            'email' => config('api.login'),
            'password' => config('api.password'),
        ]
    ]);

    dd(json_decode($loginResult->getBody()));

}
