Am trying to leverage the Anvil API for PDF.

Here is their sample request.

curl \

  -X POST \

  -u YOUR_API_KEY: \

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

  -d '{ "data": { "someKey": "some data" } }' \

  https://app.useanvil.com/api/v1/fill/{pdfTemplateID}.pdf > test.pdf

My problem is where to add the API KEY. I have tried adding it to the header but it throws error {"name":"AuthorizationError","message":"Not logged in."}

Here is the coding so far

$url2="https://app.useanvil.com/api/v1/fill/first.pdf";

$ch2 = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_URL, $url2);



$apiKey ='my api key goes here';



$post_data ='

{





  "data": {

    "someName": "Bobby",

    "someDate": "2018-10-31",

    "anAddress": {

      "street1": "123 Main St",

      "city": "San Francisco",

      "state": "CA",

      "zip": "94106"

    }

  }

}';



curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(

//'Content-Type:application/json'

'Authorization: ' . $apiKey

));  





curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,'POST');

curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);

curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);

curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0);

curl_setopt($ch2,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

echo $response2 = curl_exec($ch2);



curl_close($ch2);

My Answer:
To add the API key to the Curl request in PHP, you can use the following code snippet:

php
$api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$url = 'https://api.anvil.com/pdf';

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(array(
// Your request data here
)));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $api_key . ':');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Handle the response here


Replace `'YOUR_API_KEY'` with your actual API key and fill in the request data as needed. This code sets up a Curl request with the necessary headers and authentication using the provided API key.
