You need to be more specific than that. What code do you use? What fails? What did you expect?

Here is my codes

$curl=curl_init();        curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,"http://1XX.XXX.XX.XX:4848/SmartMeter/vms/credit?meterNumber=51751100044&amount=10&method=0&referenceNumber=12345678&return=JSON");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $result=curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    print_r($result);

Answer those too, please. I have no idea if you need to login to the API, or what else might be required. What is the URL of the API documentation?

[Hilal2009]

I got empty results, and I expect to get the following results

{
    'code':'000',
    'description':'The command executed successfully',
    'meterNumber':'51931000049',
    'token':'19654220842452620628',
    'address':'china, jianshu, shuzhou',
    'referenceNumber':'12345678'
}

Ok the issue is not to login to the API my friend,. According to API description, no login required, the only thing here is to use that API link with that parameters to return the values in JSON format as shown here

Link: http://1XX.XXX.XX.66:4848/SmartMeter/vms/credit?meterNumber=51751100044&amount=10&method=0&referenceNumber=12345678&return=JSON

Returned values:

{
    'code':'000',
    'description':'The command executed successfully',
    'meterNumber':'51931000049',
    'token':'19654220842452620628',
    'address':'china, jianshu, shuzhou',
    'referenceNumber':'12345678'
}

May be can I have your email address so I can forward the API document to you my friend?

Did you get an empty json result, or was there an error somewhere?

Is there a test call you can do that returns a result?

Yes my frend I get an empty json results

[pritaeas]

Is there any other call that DOES give you results?

[Hilal2009]

No other call my friend

[pritaeas]

If not one call yields results, better check with the provider of the API.

Have you tried with SoapUI?
