Why is my Authorization Header giving me a 401 in Guzzle?

Question

I am getting a 401 on Guzzle 4.2 and the same setup works on Postman. Code below.

// Create a client with a base URL
    $client = new GuzzleHttp\\Client([\'

Looking at the documentation page as per this line:

$response = $client->get();

It will send a get request, with no authorisation, hence the 401 response.

Try the following instead

// Create a client with a base URL.
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

$request = $client-> createRequest('GET', 'cloud.feedly.com/v3/streams/contents?streamId=user/user-id/category/global.all&count=1');

$request->setHeader('Authorization', "auth-code");

// Send.
$response = $client->send($request);

dd($response->json());

The above creates a request, set the authorisation header on it. Then once prepared it actually sends it.

I think it worked in Postman because your headers are set, if you remove the authorization header it will likely fail there too.

I have not tested this but think it will work.
