[SOLVED] 2 JSON Curl Requests in a PHP file in sequence?

Issue

I have PHP code to execute 2 Curl calls to the same URL with different data. It works but there is some lag (a few seconds) between the first and the 2nd. i have looked at curl multi but cannot figure out how to use it for JSON arrays. please help?

<?php
$data = array("epic" => $epic, "expiry" => "DFB");
$data_string = json_encode($data);

$headers = array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8',
'Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8',
'X-IG-API-KEY: '.$xapikey,
'Version: 1',
'X-SECURITY-TOKEN: '.$_SESSION['api_xtoken'],
'CST: ' .$_SESSION['api_cst'],
'_method: DELETE',

);
$ch = curl_init('' . $trading_url . '');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

    
$data2 = array("currencyCode" => "GBP", "direction" => $tv_direction);
$data_string2 = json_encode($data2);


$ch2 = curl_init('' . $trading_url . '');
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string2);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers2);

$result2 = curl_exec($ch2);

Solution

You are opening curl connection two times also you have not closed the connection once the request has been completed you need to close the connection

can try something like this

$data_string = json_encode($data);

$headers = array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8',
'Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8',
'X-IG-API-KEY: '.$xapikey,
'Version: 1',
'X-SECURITY-TOKEN: '.$_SESSION['api_xtoken'],
'CST: ' .$_SESSION['api_cst'],
'_method: DELETE',

);
$ch = curl_init('' . $trading_url . '');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

    
$data2 = array("currencyCode" => "GBP", "direction" => $tv_direction);
$data_string2 = json_encode($data2);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_string2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers2);

$result2 = curl_exec($ch); 
    curl_close($ch);
