$apiKey = authenticate();

The call to authenticate() has too few arguments starting with WSUser.

//Return if a username already exist
$userNameExist = getUserNameExist($apiKey, 'admin');
if ($userNameExist == true) {

It seems like you are loosely comparing $userNameExist of type integer to the boolean true. If you are specifically checking for non-zero, consider using something more explicit like > 0 or !== 0 instead.

    echo "User name exist";
} else {
    echo "User doesnt name exist";
}
