[POST] /GetTorrent

Checks whether torrent with given hash exists

1# API endpoint URL: https://hypercache.net/api/GetTorrent

2# HTTP: Authentication

Username	Password
API_KEY	leave empty

Hypercache uses Basic authentication, which means you must pass the following to the request header:

Authentication: Basic base64(API_KEY:)

The extra : is required, because it separates the username and the password, but in our case the password is empty.

$request_body = [
    'info_hash' => 'REPLACE_INFO_HASH',
];
    
$request_header = [
