如何从wordpress中的cURL请求中提取信息

Question

This is the header: GFC-X-PORTER-PIPE: wZ5u8QgsCsTKR2Wz

Content-Type: application/json

So when you do a get using curl(like below): curl -XGET -H "GFC-X-PORTER-PIPE: wZ5u8QgsCsTKR2Wz" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://mywebsite.com/employeestatus?key=John.Doe|John%20Doe"

RESULT: {"name":"John Doe","request_header":{"Source-IP":"50.200.140.2"},"status":"out","update_date":"2017-12-13 08:54:04","username":"John.Doe","key":"John.Doe|John Doe"}

If you look at the result, you will see the status “OUT” (in red font) and that will change as there is a script that runs to update that status. That status needs to be underneath the employee info (except the executives) on this link: https://www.mywebsite.com/contact-us/addison/, https://www.mywebsite.com/contact-us/chicago/, and https://www.mywebsite.com/contact-us/hammond/ and you match their key(in yellow highlight) to the user in the contact-us page of the website.

It should show as “I am IN” and “I am OUT” underneath each user. The “IN” and “OUT” word will come from the database and the “I am” is hardcoded.

You can use WordPress' built in WP_Http class to make HTTP requests like so:

<?php
$client = new WP_Http();

$request = $client->request( 'https://mywebsite.com/employeestatus', array(
    'headers' => array(
        'GFC-X-PORTER-PIPE: wZ5u8QgsCsTKR2Wz',
        'Content-Type: application/json',
    ),
    'body'    => array(
        'key' => 'John.Doe|John Doe',
    ),
) );

$result = $request['body']; // This is your request output.

Then you can do whatever you want with your $result, you'll probably want to json_decode() it first.
