Can you help me understand the principles of working with the API of third-party resources?

Question

Laravel

There was, in fact, such a need. Conceptually, I think I understand how it works... But it's easier for me to understand when you see a ready-made, working, simple example...
Registered in a couple of places - mostly paid ones.. Somewhere http, post, get - then curl, rest , soap... with which I have never worked... to pass headers - in general, porridge (
I would be grateful if you give a resource - a lesson, a video lesson ... a ready-made package for laravel or just a php class, where it is clear how the request is formed for server and the data comes in.
UPD: so far I could only implement it through file_get_contents ..
It turned out well ...

$params = array(
            'carrier' => $carrier,
            'flight' => $flight,
            'year' => $arrival->format('Y'),
            'month' => $arrival->format('m'),
            'day' => $arrival->format('d'),
        );
        $apiCall = sprintf($this->apiUrl.'flight/status/%s/%s/arr/%d/%d/%d', $params['carrier'], $params['flight'], $params['year'], $params['month'], $params['day']);
        $apiCall.="?appId={$this->id}&appKey={$this->key}";
        $res=file_get_contents($apiCall);
        return json_decode($res);

I tried using the Guzzle Client... but so far it has not been possible to transfer data for authorization

Here, for example, api photolia - a well-known service. https://github.com/robywan/fotolia-api . Look how it's done. Everything seems to be simple.

Answer 3

First you need to learn the language in which you are going to write and understand how the Internet works in general.
And this question will no longer arise.
Without a clear goal, there is no clear HOW.
How to work with any api?
Somehow.
