JWT: Why am I always getting token_not_provided? - jwt

Question

I am sending a PUT request to an API endpoint I have created. Using jwt, I am able to successfully register and get a token back.
Using Postman, my request(s) work perfectly.
I am using Guzzle within my application to send the PUT request. This is what it looks like:
$client = new \Guzzle\Http\Client('http://foo.mysite.dev/api/');
$uri = 'user/123';
$post_data = array(
'token' => eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGc..., // whole token
'name' => 'Name',
'email' => name#email.com,
'suspended' => 1,
);
$data = json_encode($post_data);
$request = $client->put($uri, array(
'content-type' => 'application/json'
));
$request->setBody($data);
$response = $request->send();
$json = $response->json();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
error_log('Error: Could not update user:');
error_log($e->getResponse()->getBody());
}
When I log the $data variable to see what it looks like, this is what is returned.
error_log(print_r($data, true));
{"token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiL...","name":"Name","email":"name#email.com","suspended":1}
Error: Could not suspend user:
{"error":"token_not_provided"}
It seems like all data is getting populated correctly, I am not sure why the system is not finding the token. Running the "same" query through Postman (as a PUT) along with the same params works great.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The token should be set in the authorization header, not as a post data parameter
$request->addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiL...');
