HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 16 Nov 2019 16:04:10 GMT Content-Type: 
application/json;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 113 Connection: keep-alive 
Cache-Control: no-store { "access_token": "lhQSuhRdTuU9MFceGgnl5Lqaqx08", 
"expires_in": "3599" }

Answer 1

Most probably you have the option CURLOPT_HEADER set to 1 . This has the effect of including the response HTTP headers into the result of curl_exec() .

Just set CURLOPT_HEADER to 0 . That should do it.
