Answer 1

Normally the call is made through curl extension ( I advise you to take some time to read about it ) . Here is a function I use to make curl requests (in json):

function make_curl_request()
  {
          $data = []; // data to send 
          $data_string = json_encode($data);
          $ch = curl_init("http://localhost:8000/function");
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
              'Content-Type: application/json',
              'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
          );
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);

          //execute post
          $result = curl_exec($ch);


          curl_close($ch);
          $result = json_decode($result,true);
          print_r($result);

  }

Answer 2

You need to use curl for that:

$curl = curl_init('http://myapi.com/');
$post_data = array(
    'post_var_1' => 'foo',
    'post_var_1' => 'bar'
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
$curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($curl_response === false) {
    // handle api call error here ...
} else {
    // get your results from $curl_response here
}
