Requests::request() WordPress Method
The Requests::request() method is used to make an HTTP request to a URL. This is useful for making requests to Wordpress sites. The method takes two arguments: the URL to request and an array of options. The options array can be used to set the HTTP method, headers, body, and other options.
Requests::request( string $url, array $headers = array(), array|null $data = array(), string $type = self::GET, array $options = array() ) #
Main interface for HTTP requests
Description
This method initiates a request and sends it via a transport before parsing.
The $options parameter takes an associative array with the following options:
timeout: How long should we wait for a response? Note: for cURL, a minimum of 1 second applies, as DNS resolution operates at second-resolution only. (float, seconds with a millisecond precision, default: 10, example: 0.01)connect_timeout: How long should we wait while trying to connect? (float, seconds with a millisecond precision, default: 10, example: 0.01)useragent: Useragent to send to the server (string, default: php-requests/$version)follow_redirects: Should we follow 3xx redirects? (boolean, default: true)redirects: How many times should we redirect before erroring? (integer, default: 10)blocking: Should we block processing on this request? (boolean, default: true)filename: File to stream the body to instead. (string|boolean, default: false)auth: Authentication handler or array of user/password details to use for Basic authentication (Requests_Auth|array|boolean, default: false)proxy: Proxy details to use for proxy by-passing and authentication (Requests_Proxy|array|string|boolean, default: false)max_bytes: Limit for the response body size. (integer|boolean, default: false)idn: Enable IDN parsing (boolean, default: true)transport: Custom transport. Either a class name, or a transport object. Defaults to the first working transport from getTransport() (string|Requests_Transport, default: getTransport())hooks: Hooks handler. (Requests_Hooker, default: new Requests_Hooks())verify: Should we verify SSL certificates? Allows passing in a custom certificate file as a string. (Using true uses the system-wide root certificate store instead, but this may have different behaviour across transports.) (string|boolean, default: library/Requests/Transport/cacert.pem)verifyname: Should we verify the common name in the SSL certificate? (boolean, default: true)data_format: How should we send the$dataparameter? (string, one of ‘query’ or ‘body’, default: ‘query’ for HEAD/GET/DELETE, ‘body’ for POST/PUT/OPTIONS/PATCH)
