php-laravelHow can I use PHP and Laravel to make an HTTP request?

Using the Laravel HTTP Client, you can make HTTP requests from your PHP code with ease. To use the HTTP Client, you must first import the Http facade in your controller:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

Once imported, you can make a request like this:

$response = Http::get('https://example.com/api/users');

The Http facade provides a variety of helpful methods for sending HTTP requests. In this example, the get() method is used to send a GET request to the given URL.

The response will be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Client\Response, which provides a variety of methods for inspecting and interacting with the response. For example, you can get the response body using the body() method:

$users = $response->body();

You can also inspect the status code of the response using the status() method:

$statusCode = $response->status();

For more information, see the Laravel HTTP Client documentation.
