Hi guys, I’m trying to create a new droplet using their API, but when I post the request, it returns blank. Here is my code.
<?php
$url = 'https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets';
$data = 'name=TestDroplet®ion=ams3&size=512mb&image=449676322';
//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADERS => array(
'Authorization: Bearer Authorization: Bearer MY KEY',
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data)
));
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r $result;
?>

There are a number of syntax errors that won’t allow your code to run for me. What version of PHP are your running? You may need to set curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); in order to return the results of the request and see what the error from the API call is.
All that aside, here is a PHP snippet that works for me:
<?php
$data = array("name" => "TestDroplet", "region" => "ams3", "size" => "512mb", "image" => "ubuntu-14-04-x64");
$data_string = json_encode($data);
$ch = curl_init('https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN',
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($result);
?>
