Description
Do you need to consume an HTTP Service or API and it overwhelms you to think about HTTP methods, requests, OAuth2, access tokens, credentials, grant types, user sessions and so on?
I cover you! In this course, I show you that everything is about using the correct values and tools to make everything much simpler.
Create your HTTP client with Laravel: Build and design a web project with Laravel, to consume online services and APIs.
Obtain data from HTTP services or APIs (yours or from third parties) and show it in a friendly and correct way to your users.
Learn step-by-step, everything you need to consume any web service or API online, with PHP from a Laravel project and using Guzzle.
At the end of the course, you will have multiple components that you can re-utilize in your projects to consume any HTTP service or API.
Do not wait any longer and sign up :)
Why should you choose this course?
Because it gives you a detailed view, as in no other course, of how to consume an HTTP service or API using Laravel and PHP.
Because it gives you the essential components that you can re-utilize in your other projects when consuming any HTTP service or API
Because you will be able and confident enough to use any service or API protected by OAuth2 and access tokens.
Because I not only show you how to create your HTTP Client with Laravel, but I also help you identify the different challenges of an HTTP Client and how to solve them properly.
Because simply, there is no other course that covers all these topics.
What will you be able to do at the end of the course?
In general, you will be able to implement an HTTP client that allows you to consume any HTTP service or API, either your own or from third parties, using PHP and Laravel. In addition, you will have a clear idea of how to proceed when facing new projects and services to be consumed, reusing as much as possible the components created and learned during this course.
You will know how to use a high-level library such as Guzzle, to send HTTP requests from PHP with Laravel. Implementing generic components that allow sending requests of any kind to any HTTP service with Guzzle.
In the end, you will have gained complete confidence in sending secure and correctly authorized requests to different HTTP services, either using simple access tokens or even using an entire security mechanism such as OAuth2. Everything, using PHP and Laravel.
During the course, you will learn this...

Of course, that's not all. Take a look at the full description of sections and classes for more details.
It does not end there! You will have lifetime access to current classes and those I can add later to the course.
Subscribe now and do not wait any longer to consume those services that you need and obtain the information that your users require.
Still having doubts?
Do not worry, here I share some more information about HTTP Client with Laravel.
Why an HTTP Client with Laravel?
About HTTP:
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is a widely used protocol on the Internet and any current language has a mechanism to make requests on HTTP in a simple way which, of course, includes PHP and Laravel (a framework for PHP).
Since HTTP is a protocol that is currently widely used, any current system or language will be able to communicate correctly with other systems that use this protocol (regardless of the programming language), allowing the use of data and information from whatever system online. Such information, obtained from any HTTP service, can be used in your projects to offer any type of information and service to the users of your systems. This makes you an HTTP client since you will be consuming any HTTP service or API from your own project.
About Laravel:
Laravel is the most popular framework for PHP, even one of the most popular in the world. With Laravel, you will be able to develop very complex PHP applications in a very short time, which includes an HTTP Client. During the course, you will see the enormous facilities that Laravel provides when obtaining and using the information of importance for your users, as well as facilitating the process of integrating external systems easily.
Laravel has innumerable characteristics that differentiate it from multiple frameworks for PHP and other languages, which allow implementing very complex tasks in a simple way and in a short time.
Of course, if you need more information, just get in touch :)

Respecto de los subtítulos. Si los traduzco con Google, no es muy entendible. Se utilizan palabras que no tienen relación con el contexto. Sería provechoso, que además hubiera subtítulos en español.
Highly recommended course for anyone looking to implement an http client to consume an API. The project is very practical and useful allowing requests for products, categories, users & purchases. It covers all crud methods. The instructor is very enthusiastic and quick to respond to questions . I was hesitant before taking the course as I was not 100% sure it was what I needed ... but this course does exactly what it says it does - creates a http client that can consume any API. Thanks Juan - great job!
The label for this class is send requests to ANY http service and api, but the class does not follow through. The example is for a custom API setup by the instructor. It is mildly helpful, but may lead you down a rabbit hole.
My only negative point is the section II of this course. I hope when i finish the all course, my opinion change.
Terrific course! Juan was a great instructor, and I will be able to directly apply what I learned to an app I'm building. Highly recommended!
Yes yes yes. straight to the point. I would suggest you adjust each lesson's bugs by recording again and give more example like another api in order to see how this project can fit in other services but it is already excellent. Thank you Juan
A very good course that covers a lot of things other tutorials on youtube skips. I.e. many other tutorials will just consume an API via the controller, while here it's set up properly via traits and services, making it more robust. The only drawback is that I'd love to see a tutorial for how to pull API data this way into a database via eloquent models.
Instructor is obviously very knowledgeable, but the extremely thick accent with poor pronunciation of common words will make it hard for me to make it through this course. Update: somehow I made it halfway through.
Good Course. Just need little improvement with some code. I think, you can improve a little better on it, thats why i am giving u 1/2 less star.
