How to handle Guzzle responses with JSON data in PHP?

To handle Guzzle responses with JSON data in PHP, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Guzzle: You can install Guzzle using Composer, a dependency management tool for PHP. Run the following command in your project directory to install Guzzle:
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
  1. Import Guzzle into your PHP file: Use the following statement to import the Guzzle client class:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
  1. Create a client instance: Instantiate a new Guzzle client object with the base URL you want to send requests to:
$client = new Client([ 'base_uri' => 'https://example.com', ]);
  1. Send a request: Use the client object to send an HTTP request. For example, you can make a GET request to retrieve JSON data from an API endpoint:
$response = $client->request('GET', '/api/data');
  1. Handle the response: Extract the JSON data from the response and convert it into a PHP associative array:
$body = $response->getBody(); $data = json_decode($body, true);

The decoded JSON data will be available in the $data variable, and you can now use it in your PHP code.

Note: Make sure to handle exceptions, such as network errors or invalid responses, using try-catch blocks when making Guzzle requests.
