How to assert an URL has been called but another URL no

I would like to test a controller that makes a request to an certain URL (EG: http://example.com/api/say-hello) but it does not make a request to another URL (EG: http://example.com/api/say-bye-bye).

The controller function I want to test looks like this:

public function callApis(Request $request)
{
    $data = $this->validate($request, [
        'say_bye_bye' => 'nullable|boolean',
    ]);

    Http::get('http://example.com/api/say-hello');

    if ($data['say_bye_bye']) {
        Http::get('http://example.com/api/say-bye-bye');
    }
}

In my integration tests, I want to make sure that:

If the parameter say_bye_bye is TRUE then both of the API endpoints /api/say-hello and /api/say-bye-bye must be called.
If the parameter say_bye_bye is FALSE then just the API /api/say-hello has to be called and the API endpoint /api/say-bye-bye must NOT be called.

So far I managed to verify if one or two calls have been made using Http::assertSentCount(int $count).

The solution can be getting the sequence of URLs called by the controller I'm testing, but it seems like there is no way.

There are assertSent and assertNotSent methods on the Http fake; so for example, in the case where the boolean is false, you could make the following assertions

// Boolean is FALSE

Http::fake();

// Call your controller endpoint
$this->get('whatever', ['say_bye_bye' => false]);

Http::assertSent(function (Request $request) {
    return $request->url() == 'http://example.com/api/say-hello';
});
Http::assertNotSent(function (Request $request) {
    return $request->url() == 'http://example.com/api/say-bye-bye';
});
