Secure API calls with AJAX and PHP to 3rd party API

Question

I want to make GET, POST & PUT calls to a 3rd party API and display the response on the client side via AJAX. The API calls require a token, but I need to keep that toke

Answer 1

It is bit hard without sample code. But As per I understood you can follow this,

AJAX CALL

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        data: {YOU DATA},
        url: "yourUrl/anyFile.php",
        success: function(data){
           // do what you need to 

            }
        });

In PHP

Collect your posted data and handle API, Something like this

$data = $_POST['data']; 
// lets say your data something like this
$data =array("line1" => "line1", "line2"=>"line1", "line3" =>"line1");


 $api = new Api();
 $api->PostMyData($data );

Example API Class

class Api
{
const apiUrl         = "https://YourURL/ ";
const targetEndPoint = self::apiUrl. "someOtherPartOFurl/";

const key       = "someKey819f053bb08b795343e0b2ebc75fb66f";
const secret    ="someSecretef8725578667351c9048162810c65d17";

private $autho="";



public function PostMyData($data){      
  $createOrder = $this->callApi("POST", self::targetEndPoint, $data, true);
  return $createOrder;
 }

private function callApi($method, $url, $data=null, $authoRequire = false){
    $curl = curl_init();

    switch ($method)
    {
        case "POST":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

            if ($data)               
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
                break;
        case "PUT":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
            break;
        default:
            if ($data)
                $url = sprintf("%s?%s", $url, http_build_query($data));
    }

    if($authoRequire){
        $this->autho = self::key.":".self::secret;
        // Optional Authentication:
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $this->autho);
    }

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    $result = curl_exec($curl);

    curl_close($curl);


    return $result;

 }
}
