title: How to call API from controller Laravel without using curl and guzzle as its not working
body: <p>How to call an API from a controller using a helper in laravel without using curl and guzzle because both returing nothing. I have tested in postman the api is working fine but not in laravel. 
  I need to call several API's from different controllers so what would be a good way to do this? Should i build a helper? </p>
  
  <p>I used curl but it is always giving me a false response.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a reliable way to make api calls to various url's without having to rewrite the sending and receiving code for each api I want to use. 
  Preferably a solution that implements "dry" (don't repeat yourself) principles and would serve as a base for any api specific logic, (parsing the response /translating for a model). That stuff would extend this base.</p>
