    Please share requests/responses and/or code. Here is example code to get items

     

    <?php

    //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    $api_base_url = 'http://localhost/phppos/PHP-Point-Of-Sale/index.php/api/v1/';

    $api_key = 'k4koggkc0k40k8w0kkc00gckkcs8kw888sskks0o';

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////







    $curl = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $api_base_url.'items');

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(

        'x-api-key:'.$api_key,

    'accept: application/json',

        ));

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 




    $result = json_decode(curl_exec($curl), TRUE);

    echo '<pre>';

    var_dump($result);

    echo '</pre>';

    In your code makes sure you remove fields you aren't using. For example, tier_id should NOT be in the request
