Laravel 11 Guzzle HTTP Request Example

In this post, I will show how to send Guzzle HTTP client requests in a Laravel 11 application.

Laravel 11 provides a built-in HTTP Client using the GuzzleHttp/Guzzle package. You can easily run HTTP client requests using the HTTP facade. You can send GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests, and easily get responses with text and JSON as well. Additionally, you can easily pass headers and authentication tokens.

• 4) Laravel 11 HTTP cURL DELETE Request Example
• 5) Laravel 11 API with Response

Let's see one by one example.

Install Laravel 11

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

1) Laravel 11 HTTP cURL GET Request Example:

Here, we will see how to send a cURL HTTP GET request in Laravel 11. Let's update the route file code and controller file code. You can see the output as well.

routes/web.php

    public function index()
    {
        $response = Http::get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts');

        $jsonData = $response->json();
      
        dd($jsonData);
    }

}

5) Laravel 11 API with Response:

We will create a very simple HTTP request full example. We need to create a simple route to call a controller method. So let's create it.

routes/web.php

<?php
    
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
    
use App\Http\Controllers\PostController;
    
Route::get('posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);

app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
 
class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $response = Http::get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts');
  
        $jsonData = $response->json();
          
        echo "<pre> status:";
        print_r($response->status());
        echo "<br/> ok:";
        print_r($response->ok());
        echo "<br/> successful:";
        print_r($response->successful());
        echo "<br/> serverError:";
        print_r($response->serverError());
        echo "<br/> clientError:";
        print_r($response->clientError());
        echo "<br/> headers:";
        print_r($response->headers());
    }
}

Output:

 status:200
 ok:1
 successful:1
 serverError:
 clientError:
 headers:Array
(
    [Date] => Array
        (
            [0] => Thu, 12 Mar 2020 06:08:58 GMT
        )

    [Content-Type] => Array
        (
            [0] => application/json; charset=utf-8
        )

    [Transfer-Encoding] => Array
        (
            [0] => chunked
        )

    .....
)
