Guzzle HTTP client auth fail - api

Question

I'm working on a project that need to call a API to get json response, but the Guzzle client auth is not working. It always redirect to the login page.
"nasa" is the database.
Here's my code:
<?php
require_once '../composer/vendor/autoload.php';
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$client = new Client([
'base_url' => ['http://fedview.bfountain.com/{datasource}/', ['datasource' => 'nasa']]]);
$response = $client->get('service/sbapp/goalByAgency', ['auth' => ['username', 'password']]);
echo $response->getBody();
?>
I tried:
$response = $client->get('login.do?uname=username&passcode=password');
It can log in successfully.
Can anyone help me on this? (I'm using Guzzle 5) THX!

Answer 1

Here is the WHY - logic of what happens I will have to leave the rest of troubleshooting for you.
1) echo $response->getBody(); // prints out the login page "It always redirect to the login page"
2) $response = $client->get('service/sbapp/goalByAgency', ['auth' => ['username', 'password']]); // your $response is a login page because you ask $client->get the login page or authenticate page
3) You need to authenticate successfully for a $client
4) Then use the $client to request data via POST method (you missed this step)

redo your code. you are on the right track.
