Http Requests Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

Some APIs require an API key for authentication. You can pass headers using Laravel’s Http facade easily.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$response = Http::withHeaders([
    'Api-Key' => 'your-api-key',
])->post('https://api.example.com/endpoint', [
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => 'value2',
]);

dd($response->body());

Error handling is crucial when working with HTTP requests. Axios provides several ways to manage errors, including checking the response status and handling network errors.

axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/invalid-url')
  .then(response => {
    console.log('Data:', response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    if (error.response) {
      console.error('Error Response:', error.response.data);
    } else if (error.request) {
      console.error('No Response:', error.request);
    } else {
      console.error('Error:', error.message);
    }
  });

Run the application:

python app.py
