Magento 2 API: 3rd Party makes a post request to magento API with x-www-form-encoded data

Question

I am trying to integrate a payment gateway with my headless magento 2 website.

So after the payment is processed/failed, the payment website makes a POST request to my API with x-www-form-encoded data, and it throws me the following error:

{"message":"Server cannot understand Content-Type HTTP header media type application/x-www-form-urlencoded","trace":null}

I've tried using:

   $request_body = file_get_contents('php://input');

    $data = json_decode($request_body,true);

But this doesn't work either.

Normal form works, sending these params as JSON works too, but they are sending the params in x-www-form-encoded format, and we can't change that.

Please help!

I just solved the same issue. You need to define a way for Magento to deserialize url-encoded requests. Take a look to this repository. In more specific how Deserializer and Decoder works.
