Cannot authenticate API with PHP cURL

[zxh]

I'm trying to make use of the NodeBB API on a PHP page, but cannot seem to get authentication using a bearer token working.

This is my code so far

    $url = '<forums>/api/user/email/<email>';
    $headers = ['Authorization: Bearer <token>'];
    $post = ['_uid' => '0'];

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($post));
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    curl_close($ch);
    print_r($data);

Have you tried curl from the command line?

[zxh]

@pitaj Yes I have, doesn't appear to work either.

@zxh share the curl command you used please.

[zxh]

@pitaj

/usr/bin/curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' --data _uid=0 <forums>/api/user/email/<email>

[PitaJ]

@zxh and what response do you get?

[zxh]

@pitaj

{"path":"&#x2F;user&#x2F;email&#x2F;<email>","title":"[[global:404.title]]","bodyClass":"page-user page-user-email page-user-<email> page-status-404 user-guest"}

@julian mind taking a look?

@Pitaj sure

@zxh the /api/user/email/:email API call is a GET route, not a POST route.

e.g. https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/email/[email protected]
