'php curl requesting twice

I have a limit of 25 requests/min from PUBGs official API. For some reason instead of it requesting twice for each search its using up 4 requests. I can't figure out why. I have checked that the code isn't running twice. Only once, but still it's requesting 4 times.

UPDATE: I tried making a separate page and apparently there is a bug somewhere calling my function twice. Still don't know why but I'm now 99% sure it's not the function itself.

Code For My Request 

function getProfile($profileName, $region, $seasonDate){
  // Just check if there is an acctual user
  if($profileName === null){
    $data->error = "Player Not Found";
    $data->noUser = true;
    return $data;
  }else{
    $season = "division.bro.official.".$seasonDate;

    /*
      Get The UserID
    */

    $ch = curl_init("https://api.pubg.com/shards/$region/players?filter[playerNames]=$profileName");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
            'Authorization: Bearer APIKEY',
            'Accept: application/vnd.api+json'));

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $rawData = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
    $data->playerId = $rawData["data"][0]["id"];
    curl_close($ch);


    // Testing if user exists
    if($rawData["errors"][0]["title"] === "Not Found"){
      $data->noUser = true;
      $data->error = "Player Not Found";
      return $data;
    }else{

    /*
      Get The acctual stats
    */
    $ch = curl_init("https://api.pubg.com/shards/$region/players/$data->playerId/seasons/$season");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
            'Authorization: Bearer APIKEY',
            'Accept: application/vnd.api+json'));

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $data->playerDataJSON = curl_exec($ch);
    $data->playerData = json_decode($data->playerDataJSON, true);
    curl_close($ch);

    return $data;
  }
  }
}

This is how it's getting called

if (isset($_POST['search-username'])) {
  $username = $_POST['search-username'];
  header("Location: /profile/$username/pc-na/2018-01/overall/tpp");
  die();
}

In The actual profile php

$data = getProfile($page_parts[1], $page_parts[2], $page_parts[3]);

Shortly after I figure out it's not the function I realized that the culprit was an empty script I was calling. I knew this script created an error which I didn't really care about since it was empty and I had no idea why it was creating the error. For some obscure reason this script created the error. I'll just make a lesson out of it to always fix the smallest errors.

absolutely sure it's only called once? set a lock on it. change it to 

function getProfile($profileName, $region, $seasonDate){
static $once=true;
if($once!==true){
    throw new \LogicException("tried to run getProfile() twice!");
}
$once=false;

I've also been seeing this behavior - a script with a single curl_exec() request gets called twice. The strange thing is this was only happening when running on localhost (under a wampp installation) but when run from any other webserver was fine and it is just called once.

I never managed to debug it completely but it seems to be an issue with the local server so test elsewhere if you are seeing this.
