How to make an API request in Laravel?

Question

PHP

Good day!
I make an ajax request from js to the backend. Next, you need to send a get request to a third-party api. Please tell me how to send a request and get a response. Reviewed a bunch of articles, videos and nothing comes out.
1) Tried doing it using Guzzle

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
public function getData() {

$client = new Client([
            'headers' => [
                'content-type' => 'application/json',
                'Accept' => 'application/json'
                ],
            ]);

$response = $client->request('GET', ' link ']);

$data = $response->getBody();

return response()->json(
            [
                'response' => [
                    'test' => $data
                ]
            ], 200);

}

2) Tried it this way

public function getData() {

$url = " link ";

        $opts = [
            'http' => [
                'method' => "GET",
            ]
        ];

        $context = stream_context_create($opts);

        $data = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

return response()->json(
            [
                'response' => [
                    'test' => $data
                ]
            ], 200);

}

Checked for 2 APIs. The first method does not work with either. The second - works only with one. By inserting the link simply in the address bar in the browser, I get responses from two APIs. How to send a request and receive a response.
PS I'm working with Laravel for the second week, so this question. Need help!

Answer 1

Perhaps the answer will be useful to someone: Do not look towards CSRF - it is not for Api!
Laravel has in route/api.php which does not check CSRF In the controller check:

public function post(Request $request){
    // например json
         $post = json_encode($request->all(), JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
         //... 
 }

In /route/api.php you can make post requests without checks and more. The main thing is to handle them correctly in the controller.
And best of all, read about the Laravel API.

Answer 2

Have you specified csrf from laravel in the request header?
Most likely, the banal protection of the lark works

Answer 3

The first example is about Guzzle, the second is about file_get_contents. What does Laravel have to do with it - it's not at all clear.
Describe what "doesn't work" means. Does it give errors?
