how are you sending the json? posting it in POSTMAN, using an ajax request, something else? How are you reading the posted JSON in your PHP script? – chiliNUT
@chiliNUT Thanks for reply, i am using curl for this.... – user8444404
@chiliNUT if i calling in wrong way, please guide me how to call in proper way to get correct response..... – user8444404
are you missing method PUT on ur CURL – Julius Limson
try checking your parameters again. you are nesting your json data to PayLoad which the document doesn't require. try only curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); – Julius Limson

When setting the headers you have a space between the header name and the separating colon. That results in Curl using two headers, a Content-Type : application/json header and a Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded header, which is the default when posting data. The server could identify the content type as "x-www-form-urlencoded" using the second header, however the first header would cause a 400 response, because there should be no space between the header and the colon. From rfc7230, section 3.2.4:

No whitespace is allowed between the header field-name and colon. In the past, differences in the handling of such whitespace have led to security vulnerabilities in request routing and response handling. A server MUST reject any received request message that contains whitespace between a header field-name and colon with a response code of 400 (Bad Request).

Your code should return successful response using the headers below. 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
     "Authorization: Basic ZGFpbHlvcmRlcnM6ZHVtbf4fsww=", 
     "Content-Type: application/json"
));

When debugging such issues, it's best to enable the verbose mode which prints helpful information about the connection. 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);

In your Postman request you're submitting a HTTP_X_MERCHANT_CODE header; you should include that in your Curl request.

$headers = array(
    "Authorization: Basic ZGFpbHlvcmRlcnM6ZHVtbXlLZXk=",
    "Content-Type: application/json", 
    "HTTP_X_MERCHANT_CODE: DOC",
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

This would fix the "X_Merchant_Code is null" error, but the server would return a new error message: "Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY", pointing at: ...shipment.shipment_items[0].item_content, because the json data does not have the required format. The item_content key is an empty array, which gets encoded as [], but the server expects a json object ({}). We can fix this issue if we use a null object. 

$data['services'][0]['service_details'][0]['shipment']['shipment_items'][0]['item_content'] = (object)null;

The complete code: 

<?php

$data = [
    "request_id" => "835",
    "client_name" => "DOC",
    "services" => [
        [
            "service_code" => "REGULAR",

It looks like in your JSON array you have an error :

“vendor_name”:”Ekart”,

Is not quoted correctly :

"vendor_name":"Ekart",

Should work better.

There are a few more errors like this. You should use a JSON editor to check your JSON array.

assuming that your params are correct.

try:

echo $data=json_encode($data);
//$data_string = json_encode(array(
//    "Payload" => $data
//));
   $username = "";
   $password = "";
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);     
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); 
    //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    //    "Authorization : yourtoken",
    //));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
         "Content-Type : application/json"
    ));
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);//since you are using basic auth  
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    $return = curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close ($ch);
