Passing API Data back to view
Hi,
I am experimenting with an API (DirectAdmin), I have a view to select a server which then calls a method in the ServerController and runs the following.
$sock->query('/CMD_API_ALL_USER_USAGE');
$result = $sock->fetch_body();
$result = explode("\n", $result);
That does exactly what it is supposed to do and returns multiple rows of data like this example. ( there is a lot, this is just a small sample of one row):
[
"testuser=bandwidth=7.05128000&creator=adminuser&date_created=1582530762&
default=test.com&email_daily_limit=1000&email_deliveries_outgoing=0&inode=1492 ",
]
What I want to do now is send this data straight back to the view where I can output it in some way. But when I try to send the data in $result back I either get a bad gateway or simply no data at all, that I can tell.
This is just a personal project, I admit I am not great with this kind of thing and it is probably a simple task, just not sure what I am missing.
Any help appreciated

Well, at this stage the data I need is in $result as an array, so I thought this would work.
return redirect()->action('Admin\ServerController@index', $result);
But nothing and a few variations of this appear to put the data in. I am passing it back through the ServerController as I could not find a workable solution for anything else.

Have you tried this?
return view('viewname', ['result' => $result]);
When adding a second argument to the action method, these values are added as route params. Do you really need to redirect?

So, yes I have other data being passed into the view, so if I call the view directly it will return an error as that initial data is not passed to it.
This works fine on one server that has 3 websites:
return redirect()->action('Admin\ServerController@index', ['result' => $result]);
However, on the other server with 7 sites I get a 502 bad gateway, I suspect there is too much data being passed in the URL doing it that way.

Plesae explain the whole architecture because I am trying to understand the reason for your idea.

Sorted it, it was an issue with the way the data from the API was being passed, nothing to do with Laravel.

Glad that you've made it! Cheers!
