Would anyone know a function similar to cURL to make requests to an API in php?
So far I have used cURL to make http requests, but I was asked to investigate alternatives, for example in cases where you work in an environment that does not allow modules to be installed, and cUrl is not available, or maybe there is a way lighter and less complex to make simple requests.
Thanks
You can use this library
Example of the same site
$headers = array('Accept' => 'application/json');
$data = array('name' => 'ahmad', 'company' => 'mashape');
$body = Unirest\Request\Body::json($data);
$response = Unirest\Request::post('http://mockbin.com/request', $headers, $body);
Greetings,
You can use file_get_contents() but it would only be used to make the requests by GET .
Alternatively, the extension pecl_http .
$url = 'http://api.sitioconservicios.com/servicios/cualquierwebservicio/';
$respuesta = http_post_data($url, $por_ejemplo_xml);
