POST update data to EventBrite API using Guzzle


I'm able to add Events using post with the following code:

//Create client
$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/',
]);

$params = [
  'event.name.html' => $this->Name,
  'event.description.html' => $this->Description,
  'event.listed'  => false,
  'event.start.utc'  => $this->StartTime,
  'event.start.timezone'  => 'Europe/London',
  'event.end.utc'  => $this->EndTime,
  'event.end.timezone'  => 'Europe/London',
  'event.currency'  => 'GBP'
];

try {
  //Send new event request
  $res = $client->request('POST', "events/", [
    'query' => ['token' => env('EVENTBRITE_TOKEN', '')],
    'form_params' => $params
  ]);
} catch (GuzzleException $e) {
  return false;
}

However when I try to update the event using the ID created in step one and the following code:

//Send update event request
$res = $client->request('POST', "events/$this->EventBriteID", [
  'query' => ['token' => env('EVENTBRITE_TOKEN', '')],
  'form_params' => $params
]);

It doesn't update the event. The request looks successful. Status 200 is returned a long with the event object, however none of the data is updated. The information stays the same as was submitted when the event was created. What am I doing wrong, I'm finding it hard to debug because the endpoint is returning a 200 status.

The request works fine in Postman, so i'm obviously doing something wrong in Guzzle.

EDIT

Solution

  • So after many hours of despair, I finally fixed it. The issue was a missing trailing slash on the endpoint url:

    $res = $client->request('POST', "events/$this->EventBriteID", []);
    

    changed to

    $res = $client->request('POST', "events/$this->EventBriteID/", []);
    

    Now works as expected.
