Can't download report with php

[kikusempai]

In file api-samples/php/retrieve_reports.php on lines 149-150 an error is triggered by this code:

$request = $youtubeReporting->media->download("");
$request->setUrl($reportUrl);

Method setUrl() is not defined in class GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request.

What's more important, that Request object doesn't have such field. It has URI (GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Uri Object). So I replaced that lines with following:

$uri = new GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Uri($reportUrl);
$request = new GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('get', $uri);

It removes existing error. But the new one is generated:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response::getResponseBody()

Even changing $request->getResponseBody() to $response->getStream()->getContents() doesn't really help or download a proper report.

Can anyone help me on this?

Thank you in advance.

It works for me:

$googleClient->setDefer(true);

$autorization =  json_decode($googleClient->getAccessToken())->token_type.' '.json_decode($googleClient->getAccessToken())->access_token;

$headers = [
    'authorization' => $autorization,
    'alt' => 'media'
];

$request = new Google_Http_Request(
    $report->downloadUrl,
    'GET',
    $headers
);

$request->enableExpectedRaw();
$response = $googleClient->execute($request);

$googleClient->setDefer(false);

instead of

 $client->setDefer(true);

// Call the YouTube Reporting API's media.download method to download a report.
$request = $youtubeReporting->media->download("");
$request->setUrl($reportUrl);
$response = $client->execute($request);

file_put_contents("reportFile", $response->getResponseBody());
$client->setDefer(false);

Google_Http_Request was removed a while back right? All the way back in July 2016: https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/UPGRADING.md.

Just interested to know if that still works? @sflechie your solution looks the most promising, just not sure on the Google_Http_Request?

Faced the same issue and here's how i fixed it:

function downloadReport(Google_Service_YouTubeReporting $youtubeReporting, $reportUrl, &$htmlBody) {
  $client = $youtubeReporting->getClient();
  $client->setDefer(true);

  // Setting 'alt' param here fixes the first half of the issue
  $request = $youtubeReporting->media->download("", array("alt" => "media"));
  // Correctly updating the URL fixes the second half
  $request = $request->withUri(new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Uri($reportUrl));
  $response = $client->execute($request);

  file_put_contents("reportFile", $response->getBody());
  $client->setDefer(false);
}

And here's my pull request: https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/pull/131

This has worked like a charm. Thank You @daniel-zahariev

Now @YouTube, please update your sample code
