Response from the API endpoint is returning 500 but support says API server is not down

API Q&A

I am getting a 500 when requesting the following right now :
curl --head https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v1/transactions/nnnn?access_token=xxxx

But chat support says that the API server is not down. I cross-checked with the curl command on the server too. Same response - 500.

Good afternoon Dave,

A 500 usually indicates there is some kind of problem processing the record for display; please file a support ticket here to have our Advanced Support team look at the specific data for the record in question.

https://developer.infusionsoft.com/support/tickets/create/

Additionally, you shouldn’t pass access_token as a query parameter, and it is not a supported operation so we don’t guarantee that it will function in that manner in the future. The proper method is to pass it as an “Authorization” header as “Bearer {token}”.

The API is returning 200 now with the correct customer data - no change was done at my end.

You mean to say as in the header of the request ? So I have to switch to using cURL instead of file_get_contents ?

$url = "https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v1/transactions/{$transaction_id}?access_token={$token}";
$data_transactions = file_get_contents($url);

To this ?

$url = "https://api.infusionsoft.com/crm/rest/v1/transactions/{$transaction_id}";
$authorization = "Authorization: Bearer {$token}";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json' , $authorization ));                
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);                
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$json_transactions = json_decode($response);

I’m not a PHP guy, but it looks like you can set the Headers in an object, open the stream and pass it to that method:

// Create a stream
$opts = [
    "http" => [
        "method" => "GET",
        "header" => "Authorization: Bearer {bearerToken}\r\n" .
            "SomeOtherHeader: foobar\r\n"
    ]
];

// DOCS: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php
$context = stream_context_create($opts);

// Open the file using the HTTP headers set above
// DOCS: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
$file = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/', false, $context);
