Beginner question: Rest API GET request with shopify-php-api always has empty response body

[acribis]

Hi there! 

I'm quite a beginner with Shopify app development. I'm trying to develop a simple app and I need to use offline mode, as the app will handle some webhook events in the future. 

My issue is that every REST api call results in an empty body and I have absolutely no clue why. Here is my test code:

Route::get('/test', function () {

    $shop = '<hidden>.myshopify.com'; //shop name hidden in forum post for security reasons

    $session = Utils::loadOfflineSession($shop);
    $client = new Rest($session->getShop(), $session->getAccessToken());
    $result = $client->get('products', [], ['limit' => 5]);

    return $result->getBody();

});

The result is always the following:

GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Stream::__set_state(array(
   'stream' => NULL,
   'size' => NULL,
   'seekable' => true,
   'readable' => true,
   'writable' => true,
   'uri' => 'php://temp',
   'customMetadata' => 
  array (
  ),
))

 Probably I'm doing something wrong - but I have no clue what. Is anybody out there how can help me?

Best, Mischa

Refer to Shopify's OA Documentation

Hi! Do you mean the OAuth documentation? I was reading the the OAuth and REST documentation already. The example I used for testing comes from the shopify-php-api documentation. The example listed there was:

use Shopify\Clients\Rest;

$client = new Rest($session->getShop(), $session->getAccessToken());
$response = $client->get('products');

The difference to my example is that I use offline mode. No matter what REST request I do, I always receive a 200 response but with an empty body.

I was meanwhile able to solve it. I need to access 

$result->getBody()->getContents();

to get the content of the response. Thanks.
