PHP：使用Post方法生成令牌

Question

Good day,

Before getting back on Stackoverflow, I have been googling the entire afternoon without being really successful.

What I am trying to do is to get a token from myfox api by referring to their doc which says

A fresh token must be generated to be able to perform API calls. The token can be requested by calling the following method https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token and providing the parameters below (through POST): client_id, client_secret, username, password and grant_type set to password.

Hence my code :

function getToken()
{
$clientID = "a65000ee0c57f2e37260e90c375c3";
$clientSecret = "MyLongSecretCode";
$exportFile = "myfile.txt";
$userName = "[e-mail]";
$userPass = "myPassword123";
$sourceWebsite = "https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token?client_id=" . $clientID .  "&client_secret=" . $clientSecret . "&username=" . $userName . "&password=" . $userPass . "&grant_type=password";

file_put_contents($exportFile, fopen($sourceWebsite , 'r'));
}

All I'm getting is a PHP error which says that the method is not allowed.

Any idea what I am missing here?

Many thanks for your kind help on this subject.

Edit 17.03.2017 :

I have been told by other users that I might be able to achieve this by using curl and it looks like, again, by reading the documentation that this is something that I can do :

A fresh token must be generated to be able to perform API calls. The token can be requested by calling the following method https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token and providing the parameters below (through POST): client_id, client_secret, username, password and grant_type set to password. curl -u CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token -d 'grant_type=password&username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD' or curl https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token -d 'grant_type=password&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET&username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD'

Now, for my question : is there a way to translate this curl -u query into a php instruction and to output the contents to a file out of it that would look like :

{"access_token":"********************************","expires_in":3600,"token_type":"Bearer","scope":null,"refresh_token":"********************************"}

Thanks again for your help.

Answer 1

Thanks all a lot for your hints, here is a script that is working :

I hope that this script (and this post) can at some point be helpful to someone else. I wish you a very nice week-end.

<?php

$clientID = 'b85036758c385c3cd0c57f2e37260f91';
$clientSecret = 'MyLongSecretCode';
$username = '[e-mail]';
$passwd = 'mypassword';

// Get cURL resource
$curl = curl_init();
// Set some options - we are passing in a useragent too here
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://api.myfox.me/oauth2/token',
    CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Codular Sample cURL Request',
    CURLOPT_POST => 1,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array(
        'grant_type' => 'password',
        'client_id' => $clientID,
        'client_secret' => $clientSecret,
        'username' => $username,
        'password' => $passwd
    )
));
// Send the request & save response to $resp
$resp = curl_exec($curl);   

echo $resp;

// Close request to clear up some resources
curl_close($curl);

?>
