API integration in Codeigniter application

Question

I'm trying to integrate API from MyOperator, in my CRM project, which is developed in CodeIgniter. For that they provide me some code, but when I tried to use that code in my application, it give me JSON data with

404 page not found error

Here is the code that they provided :

<?php                                                                                   

/**
 * @description : Library to access MyOperator Public API
 */
Class Myoperator {

    protected $developers_url = 'https://developers.myoperator.co/';
    protected $token = 'XXXXXXXXX';

    function __construct() {

    }

    public function run() {
        # request for Logs
        $url = $this->developers_url . 'search';
        $fields = array("token" => $this->token);
        $result = $this->_post_api($fields, $url);

        $this->log("result");
        $this->log($result);
    }

    private function _post_api(Array $fields, $url) {
        try {
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
            $result = curl_exec($ch);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return false;
        }
        $this->log("url");
        $this->log($url);
        $this->log("fields");
        $this->log($fields);
        curl_close($ch);
        if ($result)
            return $result;
        else
            return false;
    }

    private function log($message) {
        print_r($message);
        echo "\n";
    }

}


$Class = new Myoperator();
$Class->run();

This code gives me desired output if I run this code directly, but I'm confuse that where to use this code, which part is in controller and which part is in view in CodeIgniter. Any kind of help is welcome, thanks in advance.

I'm not a specialist of CodeIgniter, but after having a look to the documentation, and some links (like this and this) you can create your own library like this :

<?php                                                                                   

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**
 * @description : Library to access MyOperator Public API
 */
Class Myoperator {

    protected $developers_url = 'https://developers.myoperator.co/';
    protected $token = 'XXXXXXXXX';

    function __construct() {

    }

    public function run() {
        # request for Logs
        $url = $this->developers_url . 'search';
        $fields = array("token" => $this->token);
        $result = $this->_post_api($fields, $url);

        $this->log("result");
        $this->log($result);
    }

    private function _post_api(Array $fields, $url) {
        try {
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
            $result = curl_exec($ch);
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            return false;
        }
        $this->log("url");
        $this->log($url);
        $this->log("fields");
        $this->log($fields);
        curl_close($ch);
        if ($result)
            return $result;
        else
            return false;
    }

    private function log($message) {
        print_r($message);
        echo "\n";
    }

}

?>

After that, you can get the library from the controller, like that :

<?php

class Operator extends CI_Controller 
{
   public function index()
   {
       $this->load->library('operator');  
       $this->operator->run();
   }
}

?>

Edit (Error handling)

<?php

class Operator extends CI_Controller 
{
   public function index()
   {
       try {
           $this->load->library('operator');  
           $this->operator->run();
       } catch (Exception $e) {
           var_dump($e->getMessage());
       }
   }
}

?>

Hope this helps !
