I’m using GuzzleHttp for making HTTP requests on my Laravel project. However, I’m having trouble retrieving the body of the response using Guzzle. Here’s a simplified version of my code:

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', $api_url);
$body = $response->getBody();

When I try to access the body of the response using $response->getBody(), it does not give me the expected result. Can anyone guide me on how to properly get the body of a response from Guzzle in Laravel?

Guzzle uses PSR-7, which stores the response body in a stream by default. To get the body content, you can use either of these methods:

$contents = (string) $response->getBody();

OR

$contents = $response->getBody()->getContents();

Both of these methods will retrieve the content of the response body as a string, allowing you to access the data easily.
