In CURL, for api key you need to pass username:password , if you going to access in php code $url="https://apiurl"; $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); curl_setopt_array($curl, array( CURLOPT_URL => $url, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLOPT_USERPWD => 'username:password', CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 300000, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST', CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array( "accept: application/json", "content-type: application/json" ), CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $postfields, )); $response = curl_exec($curl); $err = curl_error($curl); curl_close($curl); return $response;

Try it once..hopefully it will work for you.

This:

 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array([..snip..], "api-key")); ^^^^^

and

curl [..snip..] -u api-key ^^^^^^^^^^

are NOT equivalent. -u specifies HTTP Basic authentication, with username:password. Your setopt is just stuffing that username as the NAME of an http header, which is not how basic auth credentials show up

You should have

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERNAME, "api-key");

instead.
