i have a distant api service which ask for all our requests:

Accept: application/json

clientname: {mynamevalue}

clientsecret: {mysecretvalue}

The first command available is name 'get_contacts'

The http request is GET https://www.example.com/api/contacts

For what i understand you cant send a body with the parameters $clientname and $clientsecret.

You can only do that:

https://www.example.com/api/contacts/?clientname=aaaaaa&clientsecret=bbbbb

Am i right?

Or is it possible to send a json structure in a get request? How to do with php?

Thanks all Good evening

I tried

https://www.example.com/api/contacts/?clientname=aaaaaa&clientsecret=bbbbb

not working and :

$url = 'https://www.example.com/api/contacts/?clientname='.urlencode($login).'&     clientsecret='.urlencode($password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
$response = curl_exec($ch);

You can send any format you want in a GET request. – user3783243 Apr 25 '23 at 17:28
You're correct, you can't send a body in a `GET` request. Try getting rid of the spaces between `&` and `clientsecret`. – Barmar Apr 25 '23 at 17:28
@user3783243 But GET doesn't have a body. Everything has to be in the URL. – Barmar Apr 25 '23 at 17:28
Can you provide a link to the documentation of the API? – Barmar Apr 25 '23 at 17:29
@Barmar Is https://stackoverflow.com/a/54892976/3783243 not valid? Documentation link would help question. – user3783243 Apr 25 '23 at 17:42

@user3783243 From the comments: **That depends on whether or not your web server is checking the body for GET requests, which I admit is not entirely standard behavior.** – Barmar Apr 25 '23 at 17:44
