I want to send HTTP requests from Laravel to an external website. Specifically, I need to retrieve an object from an API using an HTTP request, similar to jQuery’s AJAX. In WordPress, I used to use the wp_remote_request() function for similar tasks. What are my options in Laravel?

You can try Guzzle HTTP client package to send HTTP requests. Here’s how you can utilize it:

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data');
echo $response->getStatusCode(); // "200"
echo $response->getBody()->getContents();

With \GuzzleHttp\Client() , you can send HTTP requests in Laravel, similar to how you would use wp_remote_request() in WordPress.
