GET web api method from a Wordpress PHP script

I'm working on relaying the information that the formcraft plugin dumps into a GET web api method. The information from the formcraft plugin is saved into the variable $_REQUEST.

Formcraft calls the handler.php when submitting a form and this is the code (within the handler.php) I'm currently working with:

?php
    $url = 'http://x.x.x.x/Get_VacationRequest/';  
    $jsonData = json_encode($_REQUEST);     

    $response = wp_remote_get( $url, $jsonData );
?

I'm debugging my WEB APIs and waiting for a request but so far nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

wp_remote_get was causing the issue and switch over to a curl solution.

The code below replaced my old solution:

$serverIP = 'x.x.x.x';
$serviceAPI = '/Get_VacationRequest';

$jsonData = urlencode(json_encode($_REQUEST));

// Set up the server information where we will consume the API
$url = 'http://' . $serverIP . $serviceAPI . '?name=' . $jsonData;  

// Start the curl session
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 

// Send the request & save response to $resp
$resp = curl_exec($curl);

// Close request to clear up some resources
curl_close($curl);
