Hey all. I’m trying to make a request to the API using OAuth1.0 as detailed here: [REST API v2 Authentication - Gravity Forms Documentation](https://docs.gravityforms.com/rest-api-v2-authentication/#oauth-php) . I’ve downloaded the helper class, but it isn’t working for me. When I debug, the $oauth variable is just returning an empty object. I’ve double- and triple-checked that I have the right url for my site and my consumer key and secret are correct. The request works fine with all the same parameters using Insomnia. Any advice here?

Is this not giving anyone else issues? Basic authentication is giving me the same error, it’s all just a timeout error whenever I request anything via PHP, even though the endpoint works in a REST client like Insomnia and Postman. I’m copying and pasting directly from the docs.
