Get API over VPN with PHP

Question

I have a question with my problem.

I have a task where I want to get the REST API but the API is through a VPN.

Can I take the API in a VPN using PHP? I use laravel

Sorry if my english is bad

Does this answer your question? [PHP curl, special network interface](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43771420/php-curl-special-network-interface) — Kristian, Feb 18 '21 at 04:28
Thanks, but I don't understand CURLOPT_INTERFACE. So on the interface, is the connection to the VPN address or the API webservice address? — ihsan karunia, Feb 18 '21 at 04:40

If you are struggling with api you can use third party library for example guzzle.

And in guzzle you can set proxy server, also for using proxy as you know you should have a proper proxy account wich known with username and password

For example something like this:

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

$res = $client->request("POST", "https://endpoint.com", [
    "proxy" => "http://username:password@proxy.ip.address",
]);
this worked with guzzle in php.

Woww, I’ll try this. Thanks mate – ihsan karunia Feb 19 '21 at 08:35 — ihsan karunia, Feb 19 '21 at 08:35
