use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$token = '<REVAI_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
$file = '<FILEPATH>';

// create client
$client = new Client([
    'base_uri' => 'https://api.rev.ai/speechtotext/v1/',
    'headers' => ['Authorization' => "Bearer $token"]
]);

// send POST request and get response body
$response = $client->request(
    'POST',
    'jobs',
    ['multipart' => [['name' => 'media','contents' => fopen($file, 'r')]]]
)
->getBody()
->getContents();

// decode response JSON and print
print_r(json_decode($response));
