Laravel POST request to API answer

Question

I have got a Laravel Application which should send a POST request with parameters to the WebUntis API and the response should be a session id. I can send a POST request and I get a answer but I do not get the session key. I have tested the code in Postman and there it works.

route/api.php

Route::get('auth', 'UntisController@auth');

UntisController.php

class UntisController extends Controller
{

  public function auth()
  {

    $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
    $req = $client->post( 'https://asopo.webuntis.com/WebUntis/jsonrpc.do?school=htblva_villach',[

                "id" => 8294829,
                "method" => "authenticate",
                "params" => [
                    "user" => "USERNAME",
                    "password" => "PASSWORD",
                    "client" => "web"
                ],
                "jsonrpc" => "2.0"
    ],
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'
    ]);



    dd($req);
  }
}

the response I get with POSTMAN, the respones i want

my Postman request

The response I get from my code

I have tried it already with

   dd($req->getBody());

but I do not get the sessionid i want.

Whose server is it? Do you have control over the API, if you don't, I don't think there is a way to get something that the API does not send, unless there is a different endpoint to get the session_key you want — Dhiraj, May 03 '18 at 17:56
I do not own the API but if I make a Request over Postman with the same parameters I get the information I want. — , May 03 '18 at 17:58
Can you post the params you send in postman vs your script, and the response you recieve in postman vs your script ? — Dhiraj, May 03 '18 at 18:02

It's working fine, I think. There's just some extra steps in Guzzle to use the response. See the thread I've linked. — ceejayoz, May 03 '18 at 18:11

You can try this method.(Send post request with api in laravel)

public function auth(Request $request)
{
    $token = session('token'); //if token needed you can take from session else you can remove token
    $body =  [
        "id" => 8294829,
            "method" => "authenticate",
            "params" => [
                "user" => "USERNAME",
                "password" => "PASSWORD",
                "client" => "web"
            ],
            "jsonrpc" => "2.0"
    ];

    $request = 
    Request::create('https://asopo.webuntis.com/WebUntis/jsonrpc.do? 
    school=htblva_villach') , 'POST', $body);
    $request->headers->set('Accept', 'application/json');
    $request->headers->set('Authorization', 'Bearer ' . $token); // if not required token you can comment this line
    $res = app()->handle($request);
    $req = json_decode($res->getContent()); //convert to json object

    dd($req);
}
