Pulling data from an API in laravel

l am trying to do a simple request using the buzzle packgae manager. However it's not working as l expected.

In my controller l have

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Product;
use App\Http\Requests;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Message\Request;
use GuzzleHttp\Message\Response;



class products extends Controller
{
    //
    public function index()
    {
        $client = new Client();
        $response = $client->get('https://api.envato.com/v1/discovery/search/search/item?site=themeforest.net&category=wordpress&sort_by=relevance&access_token=TOKEN');
        retrun $response;
        return view('products/show',compact('response'));
    }

}

l am then pulling this response into my views like this

@extends('layout')

@section('title', 'Products')

@section('content')

    <div class="panel panel-default">
        <div class="panel-heading"><h1>Products</h1></div>
        <div class="panel-body">
            <div class="row">
                @foreach ($response as $product)
                        <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-4">
                            <div class="thumbnail">
                               
                                <div class="caption">
                                    <h3>{{ $product->name }}</h3>
                                    
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                @endforeach
            </div>
        </div>

        </div>
    </div>

@endsection

However this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what l am doing wrong guys?
