Hi,  
  
  
  
I am trying to connect Mautic API via PHP useing PHP library.  
  
  
  
Tried with basci authntication and Oauth1 but didn;t get successfull. It always throw an error like “Requested URL not found: /mautic/index.php/api/contacts?orderByDir=ASC. ‘message’ =\> string ‘Requested URL not found: /mautic/index.php/api/contacts?orderByDir=ASC (`error` is deprecated as of 2.6.0 and will be removed in 3.0. Use the `errors` array instead.)’ (length=166)  
  
‘code’ =\> int 404”  
  
  
  
This is my code.

Code:

include "../vendor/autoload.php"; require\_once '../lib/MauticApi.php'; use MauticAuthApiAuth; use MauticMauticApi;

```
$apiUrl = "http://localhost/mautic/index.php";

 $settings = array(
     'AuthMethod' => 'BasicAuth', // Must be one of 'OAuth' or 'BasicAuth'
     'userName' => 'admin', // The username for authentication; Best practise would be to set up a new user for each external site
     'password' => 'Admin123!', // Make this a Long passPhrase e.g. (Try.!wE4.And.*@ws4.Guess.!a4911.This.*-+1.Sucker.!)
     'apiUrl' => 'http://localhost/mautic/index.php', // NOTE: Required for Unit tests; *must* contain a valid url
 );

try {
	// Initiate the auth object specifying to use BasicAuth
	$initAuth = new ApiAuth();
	$auth = $initAuth->newAuth($settings, 'BasicAuth');

	if ($auth) {
		
		$api = new MauticApi();
		$contactApi = $api->newApi('contacts', $auth, $apiUrl);
		
		// Get Contact list
		$results = $contactApi->getList();
		var_dump($results);
	} else {
		echo "Something went wrong!";
	}
} catch (Exception $e) {
	echo "Mautic not connected!";	
}</div>

```

hi @aravin did you just activate the API and HTTP basic auth at [http://localhost/mautic/s/config/edit](http://localhost/mautic/s/config/edit) ?  
I had a similar problem weeks ago, and that was my mistake…
