Continuous API query - How to implement?

You should use a job queue for that

@tray2 Thank you. I think you mean something like this? https://blog.devgenius.io/laravel-queued-job-with-api-d9f01ee7235a

Maybe I'm understanding job queue wrong. When I create a database entry, I can pass this data to the job.

However, my goal would be to simply query the database table "tokens" (every 15 minutes for now) and create the request for each token.

Use task schedule to run every 15 minutes https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/scheduling#main-content

And use the Http client to do the request https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/http-client#main-content

Thank you very much for all the answers and the hint with the http client.

One of the examples I found was with task schedules and commands. I think the way @sinnbeck means it?

Have I now understood this correctly?

• I create a scheduled task with a command. This runs in the background as it can take longer

$schedule->command(CallMyAPICommand::class)->everyFifteenMinutes()->runInBackground();

• (Later I could roll out my Laravel installation on a second server and only set up the cronjob there to reduce the load)
• In my CallMyAPICommand, I would then retrieve all tokens and execute the API in a loop each time?

$tokens = Token::wherseDate('last_api_call', '>=', Carbon::now()->addMinutes(15));
foreach ($tokens as $token) {
	//Make Request
}

I used to have my old API class in a small composer package with Guzzle. Since I don't need Guzzle anymore and want to use Http client from Laravel, could I just create the API class e.g. in "app/APIs/Api_Name/Api_NameClient.php", or does Laravel provide a directory for it, or should I continue to solve it with a composer package which requires Laravel instead of Guzzle?
