Laravel now provides an expressive, minimal API around the Guzzle HTTP client, allowing you to quickly make outgoing HTTP requests to communicate with other web applications & web services.
Laravel’s wrapper around Guzzle is focused on its most common use cases and a wonderful developer experience. For example, the client makes it a breeze to POST and interface with JSON data:
Post Request
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$response = Http::withHeaders([
'Authentication' => 'Bearer $token'
])->post('http://test.com/users', [
'name' => 'janedoe',
]);
return $response['id'];Get Request
$response = Http::get($url);
$response = Http::get($url,['name'=>'janedoe']);Responses
Now with new HTTP Client, its even easier in getting responses instead of json_decode and then retrieving the body as we used to in GuzzleHTTP.
$response['name']
$response->body()
$response->json()
$response->status()
$response->ok()
