I am unable to get the data after calling an API
class States extends Controller
{
public function lists() {
$data = Http::get('https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/admin/location/states')->json();
dd( $data);
}
}
I am using the API and trying to get the data in my view but its sending null value. Can anyone tell me where i am doing wrong?? Also, I am using
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
but still its saying null value. Thank You.

Have you checked the response status? Was the request even successful?

Its showing "false". Then where I am doing wrong ?? Because when i use that API directly in the browser, it works completely.

I get a 403 status when trying to access that endpoint. Maybe it's limited to certain countries/regions?
Level 1
May be. I am also getting the same 403 status .
Level 1
I'm getting a Cloudfront generated 403 error.
But you have mentioned that you can access the endpoint successfully in the browser.
I would like to suggest to try 2 options.
- Try with curl. Something like this.
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/admin/location/states',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
return response($response);
- Use Http facade like this. '' character infront of Http.
$data = \Http::get('https://cdn-api.co-vin.in/api/v2/admin/location/states')->json();
