How do I make this request with cURL in Php?

  • 772

I am implementing a payment service on my website, and one of the last ones is to make a request httpwith curl, but I don't fully understand how to do it.

The documentation says that the request must have the following form:

https://sandbox.affirm.com/api/v2/charges
     -X POST
     -u "<public_api_key>:<private_api_key>"
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"
     -d '{"checkout_token": "<checkout_token>","order_id": "JKLM4321"}'

The way I have to do this with curl would be the following:

// Iniciar curl
$curl = curl_init();
$headers[]  = 'Content-Type: application/json';
// Agregar las opciones y datos
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://sandbox.affirm.com/api/v2/charges',
    CURLOPT_POST => 1,
    CURLOPT_HEADER => $headers,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
        checkout_token => 'value',
        order_id => 'value2'
    ]
]);
// Enviar la petición y obtener la respuesta
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
// Cerrar la peticion
curl_close($curl);

But, as you can see, I have no idea how to include the public and private keys (which I already have, that's NOT the problem) in the request with curl, and I don't know what that "-u" they describe in the documentation means either. Any ideas?

    The uone you ask for corresponds to the option CURLOPT_USERPWD, cURLas you can verify in the code example below.

    On the API page you have an example of PHP code using cURL:

    <?
php $checkout_token = $_REQUEST['checkout_token'];

//These are sandbox credentials
// $public_key = "ARQBLCL7NAMBTZ7F";                  //descomentar y poner tus credenciales
// $private_key = "RkHBmVSP5ayC2rCUujwhArpGWPxpuTtv"; //descomentar y poner tus credenciales
//This is the sandbox API URL
$url = "https://sandbox.affirm.com/api/v2/charges/";

$data = array("checkout_token" => $checkout_token);
$json = json_encode($data);
$header = array('Content-Type: application/json','Content-Length: ' . strlen($json));

$keypair = $public_key . ":" . $private_key;

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);                                                                     
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $keypair);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($curl);

http_response_code($status);
echo $response;
?>

    Just uncomment and change this to your actual credentials and it should work:

    // $public_key = "ARQBLCL7NAMBTZ7F"; 
// $private_key = "RkHBmVSP5ayC2rCUujwhArpGWPxpuTtv";
