Hello, I hope someone could please advise on the following issues. We are trying to update ACF fields using a cURL (POST) from a different domain using PHP but no fields are updating.

ACF must have this basic feature ?

Any help would be appreciated.

    // continued code 

    if (isset($response['id'])) {
        echo 'Post created successfully with ID: ' . $response['id'];

        
        $post_id = $response['id'];
        $acf_update_url = 'https://website.com/wp-json/acf/v3/vehicle/' . $post_id; // Adjust the ACF endpoint

        $acf_data = array(
            'fields' => array(
                'status' => 'draft',
                'vehicle-status' => 'AVAILABLE',
                'vehicle-visibility' => 'DISPLAY',
                'vehicle-make' => 'Ford',
                'vehicle-model' => 'Astra',
                'vehicle-colour' => 'White'
            )
        );

        // Close the current cURL session
        curl_close($ch);

        // Create a new cURL session for updating ACF fields
        $ch_update = curl_init();

        // Set cURL options for updating ACF fields
        curl_setopt($ch_update, CURLOPT_URL, $acf_update_url);
        curl_setopt($ch_update, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
        curl_setopt($ch_update, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($acf_data));
        curl_setopt($ch_update, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch_update, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
            'Content-Type: application/json',
            'Authorization: Basic ' . base64_encode($username . ':' . $password),
        ));

        // Execute cURL session for updating ACF fields
        $acf_result = curl_exec($ch_update);

        //var_dump($acf_result);

        // Check for errors in updating ACF fields
        if (curl_errno($ch_update)) {
            echo 'Curl error in updating ACF fields: ' . curl_error($ch_update);
        } else {
            echo 'ACF fields updated successfully.';

            var_dump($acf_result);

            echo '<br />';

            var_dump($acf_data);

            echo '<br />';

            echo $acf_update_url;

        }

        // Close the cURL session for updating ACF fields
        curl_close($ch_update);
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to create post. Response: ' . $result;
    }
}
