I want to make a post request to an API to create a new client but its appearing an error:
Client error: `POST https://testname.app.invoicexpress.com/document-type.json?api_key=...`
resulted in a `404 Not Found` response: <!doctype html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie6 oldie" lang="en">
<![endif]--> <!--[if IE 7]> <html class="n (truncated...)
In the documentation "https://developers.invoicexpress.com/docs/versions/2.0.0/resources/invoices" says that to create a new client along with the invoice the curl command is like:
curl --request POST \
--url 'https://account_name.app.invoicexpress.com/:document-type.json?api_key=YOUR%20API%20KEY%20HERE' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"invoice":{"date":"03/12/2017","due_date":"03/12/2017","client":{"name":"Client Name","code":"A1"},"items":[{"name":"Item Name","description":"Item Description","unit_price":"100","quantity":"5"}]}}'
But with the code below instead of the curl command, it shows that error.
public function generateInvoice()
{
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$array = [
'invoice' => [
'date' => '03/12/2017',
'due_date' => '03/12/2017',
'client' => [
'name' => 'Client Name',
'code' => 'A1'
],
'items' => [
[
'name' => 'Item Name',
'description' => 'Item Description',
'unit_price' => '100',
'quantity' => '5'
]
]
]
];
$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://testname.app.invoicexpress.com/invoices.json', [
'query' => ['api_key' => '...'], 'form_params' => [$array],
]);
dd($response->getStatusCode());
}
Wihout [] and only $array in the 'form_params' shows:
Client error:
`POST https://testname.app.invoicexpress.com/invoices.json?api_key=...` resulted
in a `422 Unprocessable Entity`
response: {"errors":[{"error":"Items element should be of type array"}]}
Try renaming your param 'form_param' with 'json'
Like : 'form_params' => [$array] to 'json' => [$array]
