Godaddy api authorization error

Question

I am trying to develop client application for GoDaddy based on their API that they provide here https://developer.godaddy.com And I have a problem with simple example, I am trying to use the next PHP code to check if domain available:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
try {
    $client = new Client([
        'base_uri' => 'https://api.godaddy.com',
    ]);

    $responce = $client->get(
        '/v1/domains/available?domain=example.guru',
        [
            'headers' => [
                'Authorization' => "sso-key $myKey:$mySecret",
                'X-Shopper-Id' => "$myID",
                'Accept' => 'application/json',
            ]
        ]
    );
    echo $responce->getBody();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

And all the time I get error: "Client error: 401". Same problem I have with using cURL library. I didn't find any online support. I need help with it, can someone explain how I should authorize at their api service? Maybe I need to send any other http headers or additional params?

Answer 1

Are the key and secret you're using for production? When I go through the process, by default it creates a TEST key/secret, which I think are meant to go against https://api.ote-godaddy.com

If you are using production keys, try doing a manual Curl request from the command like; something like:

curl -H 'Authorization: sso-key {KEY}:{SECRET}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/available?domain=example.guru'

Let us know how it works out!
