php-guzzlePHP Guzzle get request example

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. Here is an example of how to use Guzzle to make a GET request:

<?php
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$res = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.github.com/user', [
    'auth' => ['user', 'pass']
]);
echo $res->getStatusCode();
// "200"
echo $res->getHeader('content-type');
// 'application/json; charset=utf8'
echo $res->getBody();
// {"type":"User"...'
?>

The code above will make a GET request to the URL https://api.github.com/user with authentication credentials user and pass. The response will be stored in the $res variable. The status code, header and body of the response can be accessed using the getStatusCode(), getHeader() and getBody() methods respectively.

Parts of the code:

• $client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();: This creates a new Guzzle client.
• $res = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.github.com/user', [ 'auth' => ['user', 'pass'] ]);: This makes a GET request to the URL https://api.github.com/user with authentication credentials user and pass.
• echo $res->getStatusCode();: This prints the status code of the response.
• echo $res->getHeader('content-type');: This prints the value of the content-type header of the response.
• echo $res->getBody();: This prints the body of the response.
