Guzzle HTTP in laravel API call not returning the expected response

Question

I'm attempting a GET request to acquire an email_token with Guzzle HTTP that looks like this:

$email = $customer['attributes']['Email'];

    $client = new Client();
    $res = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.example.com/apps/api/Services/Email/Opting', [
        'email' => $email
    ]);
    dd($res->getBody());

The response is returning 200/OK, but I'm not getting the email_token as expected. The sparse API docs I'm working off give a very similar example and state the expected response's content should look something like this:

{
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "marketing": true,
    "promotional": true,
    "news": true,
    "feedback": true,
    "account_related": true,
    "token": "eyJpdiI6Ik9tNlFwbEorbjNnK1FsNnFZb1ZtaFE9PSIsInZhbHVlIjoibGNheWpDR0Z6eWpcL1VCbjdsUXZCS0lzRURBZTIzMVc5ZXRTamQrd1dQTFE9IiwibWFjIjoiYTEwYTM2ODU0MmQzMTY5NGIwNWFhOWFjM2ZiZTBkMzkzOWMyY2VkYTMzNjk5ZDYyOTE0OGY2YjBhNGNkYjk4NyJ9"
}

Once I get the token, I then need to make a POST with a couple more requirements (one being the email_token) in order to automate a customer's ability to opt out of the mailing list. Any thoughts on why my response is coming back like this?

In order to get the response payload you should do:

$response = $res->getBody()->getContents();

To get the status:

$responseStatus = $res->getStatusCode();

That's returning HTML, but it looks like there might be an email_token in a meta tag: <meta name="csrf-token" content="DfGukea4gUxbUWdAhkz3tnb6AFVmcwG3yv0EF22D">?

hmm what if you dd $res->getHeaders();

Matt Larsuma Over a year ago

That looks like this: array:10 [▼ "Date" => array:1 [▶] "Server" => array:1 [▶] "X-Powered-By" => array:1 [▶] "Cache-Control" => array:1 [▶] "X-Mod-Pagespeed" => array:1 [▶] "Vary" => array:1 [▶] "Content-Length" => array:1 [▶] "Content-Type" => array:1 [▶] "Set-Cookie" => array:2 [▶] "Connection" => array:1 [▶] ]

there is no token in the headers what if you try dd(json_decode($res->getBody()->getContents(), true);

Yeah, tried that and it's null. Perhaps it's the API?
