Authentication

Inspired by Laravel's Http Client, authentication headers can be specified via these shortcut methods.

• Basic
• Digest
• Token

Caution

Regardless of authentication method, you should always use https. You never know who's listening...

Basic

The useBasicAuth() method will allow you to set a username and password, for Basic Authentication.

$response = $client
        ->useBasicAuth('john@doe.org', 'secret')
        ->get('/available-flights');

Basic authentication can also be set via configuration.

Digest

Digest Authentication can be used, via useDigestAuth(). This method also accepts a username and a password.

$response = $client
        ->useDigestAuth('john@doe.org', 'secret')
        ->get('/available-flights');

Digest authentication can also be set via configuration.

Token

Lastly, when using token-based authentication, useTokenAuth() can be used. It accepts the following arguments:

• $token: string The token you wish to use
• $scheme: string (optional) The authentication scheme. Defaults to Bearer.

 $response = $client
         ->useTokenAuth('my-secret-api-token')
         ->get('/available-flights');

Alternatively, you can also use the configuration to specify authentication headers.

<?php

return [

    'profiles' => [

        'default' => [
            'driver' => \Aedart\Http\Clients\Drivers\DefaultHttpClient::class,
            'options' => [
                
                'headers' => [
                    'Authorization' => 'Bearer my-secret-api-token'
                ]

                // ... remaining not shown ...
            ]
        ],
    ],
];
