How do I pass apikey and other keys to header in guzzle 6.3?

Question

I have a simple registration form that the user can register in my app, now I want to send submitted data to another service.

First I test my request using postman as follows using a raw option in a postman panel.

Api url : app3.salesmanago.pl/api/contact/upsert

JSON DATA:
{
  "clientId":"w2ncrw06k7ny45umsssc",
  "apiKey":"ssssj2q8qp4fbp9qf2b8p49fz",
  "requestTime":1327056031488,
  "sha":"ba0ddddddb543dcaf5ca82b09e33264fedb509cfb4806c",
  "async" : true,
  "owner" : "adam@rce.com",
  "contact" : { 
        "email" : "test-1@konri.com",
        "name" : "Test",
        "address":{
            "streetAddress":"Brzyczynska 123",
      }
    }
}

UPDATE I get the following success result

{
    "success": true,
    "message": [],
    "contactId": "b52910be-9d22-4830-82d5-c9dc788888ba",
    "externalId": null
}

Now using guuzle htpp request in laravel

protected function create(array $data)
{
    $user = User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        ]);

        $client = new client();
        $current_timestamp = Carbon::now()->timestamp;
        try {
            $request = $client->post('app3.salesmanago.pl/api/contact/upsert', [
                \GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::HEADERS      => array(
                    'debug'        => true,
                    'Accept'       => 'application/json',
                    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
                    'clientId'     => 's255hncrw06k7ny45umc',
                    'apiKey'       => 'sj2q8rt5qp4fbp9qf2b8p49fz',
                    'sha'          => 'ba0br45543dcaf5ca82b09e33264fedb509cfb4806c',
                    'requestTime'  =>  $current_timestamp,
                    'owner'        => 'adwamtrw@fere.com',
                    'http_error'   => true
                ),

                \GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::JSON => [
                    'form_params' => [
                        'name'  => $data['name'],
                        'email' => $data['email'],
                    ],
                ],
            ]);  
        }
        catch (GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) {
            $response = $e->getResponse();
            $responseBodyAsString = $response->getBody()->getContents();
        }
        $status = $request->getStatusCode();
        $response = $request->getBody();
        $r = json_decode($response);
        dd($r);
        dd($status, $r );
    return $user;
}

When I run my app and send the form data I get this using the same data as in postman I get this

{#306 ▼
  +"success": false
  +"message": array:1 [▼
    0 => "Not authenticated"
  ]
  +"contactId": null
  +"externalId": null
}

It seems like my API key and other header data are not passed to the header as required,

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Maybe something like this. Notice that according to the API some values should be passed as headers (Accept, and Content-Type -commonly used as headers, btw-), and other values as part of the body. This is the case of the authentication values like clientId and apiKey.

I don't have guzzle 6 installed at hand but you can try and modify the code to include that data not in the headers section of the request but in the body:

$request = $client->post('app3.salesmanago.pl/api/contact/upsert', [
        \GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::HEADERS      => array(
            'debug'        => true,
            'Accept'       => 'application/json',
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        ),

        \GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions::JSON => [
            'form_params' => [
                'name'  => $data['name'],
                'email' => $data['email'],
                'clientId'     => 's255hncrw06k7ny45umc',
                'apiKey'       => 'sj2q8rt5qp4fbp9qf2b8p49fz',
                'sha'          => 'ba0br45543dcaf5ca82b09e33264fedb509cfb4806c',
                'requestTime'  =>  $current_timestamp,
                'owner'        => 'adwamtrw@fere.com',
                'http_error'   => true
            ],
        ],
    ]);

I'm not sure about the 'form_params' in under the RequestOptions::JSON, but mabye you can put the values directly under RequestOptions::JSON.

Just FYI, not sure what Laravel you're using but there's now The Laravel HTTP client which make this sooo much easier.

$response = Http::withHeaders([
                'Accept' => 'application/json, application/json',
                'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
                'clientId' => 'dd2ncrw06k7ny45umce',
                'apiKey' => 'ddjdd2q8qp4fbp9qf2b8p49fdzd',
                'sha' => ' wba0b543dcaf5ca82b09e33264fedb4509cfb4806ec',
                "requestTime" => $current_timestamp,
                "owner" => "testemail@wp.com",
])->post('app3.salesmanago.pl/api/contact/upsert', [
    'name' => $data['name'],
    'email' => $data['email'],
]);

if($response->successful()){
 dd($response->json())
}else{
  // handle yo errors
}
