You could use php's fopen function passing in the url and save the returned data.
Storage::put('file.zip', fopen("http://someurl/file.zip", 'r'));

Download a file with laravel
I'm working with a external API, this API give me a list of students assigned to the given class ID, and I need to download the certificates of those students to my local server. The API give me a temporary URL of the certificate, how can I pull the certificate to my server with laravel?

You may want to be extra careful when pulling in external files, as that can pose a pretty grave security hazard. E.g. only enable admins to do so, whitelist server ip adress, use an ssl connection, etc.
