Play variables to be parameters in the API

Question

I have a website and to enter it you need to log in, and the data are: Cpf and email. And I have an API that I need to play the variables Cpf and email to be parameters in the api, but I don’t have much knowledge in api and also just have the link to it.

I need to play this data because each user will have different data, and the api will need this data in the parameter to select and fetch data from the person registered with Cpf and email.

ex.: http://api/api/TRCKCLICODCPF=12345678901&EMAIL=fulano%40email.com

Consuming API:

 function load(){

  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open("GET", "http://api/api/TRCKCLICODCPF=12345678901&EMAIL=fulano%40email.com");



  xhr.addEventListener("load", function() {
      var resposta = xhr.responseText;
      // console.log("ola1");
      var clientes = JSON.parse(resposta);
      // console.log("ola2");
      // console.log(clientes);

      for (var i =0; i < 1; i++){
          // console.log("ola3");
         var clientes_1 = clientes.TRACKER[i];
         AdicionaNome(clientes_1);
         AdicionaCPF(clientes_1);
         AdicionaProduto(clientes_1);
         AdicionaCidade(clientes_1);
         AdicionaCodigoProduto(clientes_1);
         AdicionaCodigoCliente(clientes_1);
         AdicionaStatus(clientes_1);
         ActiveStatusImage(clientes_1);
         ActiveOnlyPostagem(clientes_1);
         adicionaClienteNaTabelaViagem(clientes_1);
         ActiveQtdViagem(clientes_1);


     }

  });

  xhr.send();
      }
      window.onload = load;

I changed the api link, it’s just an example

An interesting method is to access via Curl, is similar to an ajax request, but with PHP, also check if the API has any comprehensive documentation...

Usually for authentication the method is GET, so it would be something like this...

PHP

$url="http://api/api/TRCKCLICODCPF=12345678901&EMAIL=fulano%40email.com";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);    // get the url contents

$data = curl_exec($ch); // execute curl request
curl_close($ch);

$xml = simplexml_load_string($data);
print_r($xml)

So your API will not be visible to any user if accessed from the client...
