GuzzleTest6.php

<?php

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

$headers = ['x-api-key' => 'MY API KEY'];

$options = [
            'headers' => ['x-api-key' => 'MY API KEY'],
            'debug' => true,
        ];
try {
	$resp = $client->request('GET', 'https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk',$options);

} catch (\GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) {
	$resp = $e->getResponse();
}


echo $resp->getBody();

Or, you could alias the Request class like use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request as GuzzleRequest; and then use $request = new GuzzleRequest to avoid the conflict with the Symfony Request class.

When I make changes I get Class 'App\Http\Controllers\GuzzleHttp\Client' not found apparently this line causes it $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

Sorry. Fully qualified namespace should have the root slash in there to avoid that. Updated. give it one more go.

Im sorry as well should of tried adding them. Also page came back with no errors besides {"message":"Missing Authentication Token"} but I have added the key and its correct as it works within command line

So working?

In theory yes but Im getting the message that the Authentication Token is missing when its not? What could be the issue?

From reading the document with the API theres 3 commands I can run. these are

1. curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your_api_key " \https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk/trade/vehicles/mot-tests\?registration=XX10ABC
   To request the MOT Test History for registration XX10ABC

2. curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your_api_key" \https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk/trade/vehicles/mot-tests\?page=[1-59310] (as of 04th Jan 2018)
   To request a full extract of the database. Please note that the last page normally increments by 10 each day.

3. curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your_api_key" \https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk/trade/vehicles/mot-tests\?date=20170310\&page=[1-1440]
   To request MOT Test completed on the 10-03-2017 from page 1 to 1440

Could that affect it in any way?

Try with the updated code. It has debugging set to true. Run the script from the command line, like php GuzzleTest6.php, and it will output the actual request and response before outputting the response body. Then compare that to:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your_api_key" 'https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk' -v

notice that I've added the -v to the command line curl request so it will output the full request and response headers. How are they different (the one from php GuzzleTest6.php versus the command line curl)?

That's using a valid API key for both?

{"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}

• Connection #0 to host wwwproxy.hud.ac.uk left intact

This is the output

The output from what? That looks like it's all command line curl, is that right? If so, it seems like you get a 403 response no matter what. In which case it's not an issue with the code, right?

Thats from command line yes. If I use curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "x-api-key: your_api_key " \https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk/trade/vehicles/mot-tests\?registration=XX10ABC, I get a output and works with any car reg

Does that also work if you update the URL for the guzzle request?

Would I need to update the actual url within controller?

The URL in the request.

By using function?

public function apitest(){

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$headers = ['x-api-key' => 'Key here'];

$options = [
'headers' => ['x-api-key' => 'Key here'],
'debug' => true,
];
try {
$resp = $client->request('GET', 'https://beta.check-mot.service.gov.uk/trade/vehicles/mot-tests\?registration=XX10ABC
',$options);
} catch (\GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException $e) {
$resp = $e->getResponse();
}
echo $resp->getBody();

}
