php-guzzlePHP Guzzle usage example

Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services.

Example code

<?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();
// '{"id": 1420053, "name": "michael", "email": "[email protected]"}'
?>

Output example

200
application/json; charset=utf8
{"id": 1420053, "name": "michael", "email": "[email protected]"}
