How I make a Laravel Authentication in a Third Party API that use oAuth2?

I have an application in Laravel 5.7, I need authenticate the users in a other API (third party API), these API are code in REST with oAuth2. So, I want send a username and password to the URL-API and the callback is if the user are or not authorized to use the APP.

How I can make this?

Use Laravel Passport that provides by Laravel itself.

https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/passport

BTW, API authentication doesn't work the same way you are thinking. It's not a good idea to pass username and password to url for authentication.

Thanks, @tisuchi

But, how I can do this? Because I am building a project and this project need authentication in an API in other project. And other services will be used by API, so Laravel will work as a Client.
