Answer 3

Try using cURL like this:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'www.someapi.com?param1=A&param2=B');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json')); // Assuming you're requesting JSON
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$response = curl_exec($ch);

// If using JSON...
$data = json_decode($response);

Answer 4

if many such requests are planned, put the wrapper

if the request is single, then you can get by with a curl, there are examples in the topic
