HTTP Facade

Hi guys. Now I'm introducing in API requests and it's stuff and I'm very exciting. Doing this

$data = http_build_query([
            'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
            'code' => $request->code,
            'redirect_uri' => 'http://...',
            'client_id' => '...',
            'client_secret' => '...',
]);
$opts = array('http' =>
       array(
           'method'  => 'POST',
           'header'  => 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
           'content' => $data
            )
       );
$context  = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents('https://api.....', false, $context);

This work, I see there is some other ways to do it more easy and more efficient. But I'm looking through the Http Facade and the Laravel documentation for achieve the same result with before code. I try this but isn't right

$response = Http::withHeaders([
            'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
        ])->withOptions([
            'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
            'code' => $request->code,
            'redirect_uri' => 'http://...',
            'client_id' => '....',
            'client_secret' => '....',
        ])->post('https://api.....');

some help with?

Which API is this? Does it accept application/json?

$response = Http::withHeaders([
        "Accept-Language" => "en_US",
        'Accept' => 'application/json',
    ])
    ->post('https://domain.com/api/token', [
        'code' => '...',
        'grant_type' => '...',
        'client_id' => '...',
        'client_secret' => '...',
        'redirect_uri' => '...'
    ]);

The TeamViewer API. In documentation said this: POST /api/v1/oauth2/token (token endpoint) Parameters must be inside the body of the request and encoded with the "application/x-www-formurlencoded" format. This is the only exception where the body is not JSON or XML.

What is the version of your Laravel and guzzle?

Type composer show | grep guzzle on your CLI.

So sorry, more used to guzzle rather than Http:: This should sort it out.

$response = Http::asForm()->post('https://domain.com/api/token', [
    'code' => '...',
    'grant_type' => '...',
    'client_id' => '...',
    'client_secret' => '...',
    'redirect_uri' => '...',
]);
