Hello programmers,
I have a website where i sell and receive payment via flutterwave.
I have been using curl for months to get payment information from my payment gateway (Flutterwave) and it works fine.
All of a sudden it started giving me this error
Failed to connect to api.flutterwave.com port 443 after 1103 ms: Couldn't connect to server

Here is my code
public function getBankName(){
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.flutterwave.com/v3/banks/NG",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"Authorization: Bearer MY_SECRET_KEY"
)
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);

if (curl_errno($curl)) {
echo curl_error($curl).$this->eror;
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl));
}
curl_close($curl);
$response = json_decode($response);
$banknames = array();
if($response = json_decode(json_encode($response), true)){

for($i=0; $i<sizeof($response['data']); $i++){
$banknames[] = $response['data'][$i]['name'];

}
return $banknames;

}
else{
return false;
}

}

Yes and it has stopped working.

It could be from flutterwave.

U can hardcode it for now..

nd test the endpoint with postman.

I don't think there has been any new banks in the past year or two..

If it was a problem with curl then try it locally using postman

Thanks to all those who responded, it started working on it's own.

Next time just know it is a problem from the second party server side.
