Question

Can somebody please point me in the right direction how I might use the following:

curl "https://api.xxxxxx.com/phones/:number/calls" \
-d"call[phone_number]=<number-to-call>" \
-d"token=<api_token>" \
--insecure

I have tried to find the answer, but I just cannot seem to get anything working for me – it should make a phone ring!!! in theory! But cannot find a way of sending the request with PHP.

Thanks,
B.

Something like this using PHP’s cURL:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();

$data = array(
  'call[phone_number]' => '<number-to-call>', 
  'token' => '<api_token>'
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.xxxxxx.com/phones/:number/calls');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_exec($ch);
?>
