public function index() { $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client(); $request = $client->get('://127.0.0.1:8080/api/authors/get'); $response = $request->getBody()->getContents(); echo '
'; print_r($response); exit; }
Level 102
@nbaluyot15 So 127.0.0.1:8080 is another site? What url is this one running on? Be aware that you have a site call itself if using php artisan serve
And if you want to make life a little easier, I can suggest you use the built in http client in laravel: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/http-client#main-content

format your code blocks
you said you use Http client but then use guzzle?
what web server are you using?
Level 1
I use xampp as my web server in API
Level 102
@nbaluyot15 So xampp running on 127.0.0.1:8080
What is the point of calling the site itself as an API? I have never heard of a reason to do that.
Level 1
Still can't get the API in my localhost using controller
