Here is my code

<?php namespace AdClass;

    private $domain;

    public function __construct($domain, $widget_id, $api_key, $pub_id)
    {   
        $this->domain = $domain;
        $this->widget_id = $widget_id;
        $this->api_key = $api_key;
        $this->pub_id = $pub_id;
    }

    public function getDomain()
    {
        return $this->domain;
    }

    }

    {

    }


    public function getAdContent()
    {   
        // Get cURL resource
        $curl = curl_init();
        // Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
        curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
            CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.revcontent.com/api/v1',
            CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Codular Sample cURL Request',
            CURLOPT_POST => 1,
            CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
                'api_key'  => $this->api_key,
                'pub_id' => $this->pub_id,
                'widget_id' => $this->widget_id,

        $resp = curl_exec($curl);
        // Close request to clear up some resources
        curl_close($curl);

        return $resp;
    }

}

Try passing a valid user agent. Some APIs reject connection without it. — John Baker, Nov 14 '18 at 11:11
does file_get_content work with other url ? have you consider using curl ? — R. Martin, Nov 14 '18 at 11:11
@R.Martin I have changed the way to call API, now cURL but nothing is returned response is empty. is this code is correct to send request from POST cURL — Hemant Kumar, Nov 14 '18 at 11:34

Issue Fixed with cURL request:

<?php namespace AdClass;

use stdClass;

class AdInfo{

    private $domain;

    private $sponsored_count;
    private $internal_offset;
    private $internal_count;

    public function __construct($domain,$widget_id,$sponsored_count=1,$internal_offset=1, $sponsored_offset=0,$internal_count=3)
    {   
        $this->domain = $domain;
        $this->widget_id = $widget_id;
        $this->api_key = "XXXX";
        $this->pub_id = xxxx;
        $this->sponsored_offset =$sponsored_offset;
        $this->sponsored_count = $sponsored_count;
        $this->internal_offset = $internal_offset;
        $this->internal_count = $internal_count;
    }

    public function getAdContent()
    {   

        $curl = curl_init();
        // Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
        curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
            CURLOPT_URL => 'https://trends.revcontent.com/api/v1/?api_key='.$this->api_key.'&pub_id='.$this->pub_id.'&widget_id='.$this->widget_id.'&domain='.$this->domain.'&format=json&sponsored_count='.$this->sponsored_count.'&sponsored_offset='.$this->sponsored_offset.'&internal_count='.$this->internal_count.'&internal_offset='.$this->internal_offset ,
