How to reuse a Guzzle client for multiple requests in PHP?

To reuse a Guzzle client for multiple requests in PHP, you can follow these steps:

Install Guzzle using Composer by running the following command in your project directory:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Import the Guzzle package at the top of your PHP file:

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

Create an instance of the Guzzle client:

$client = new Client();

Now, you can make multiple requests using the same client object. For example, to make a GET request, you can use the get() method:

$response = $client->get('https://api.example.com/endpoint');

You can also pass additional options to the request as an array, like headers or query parameters:

$response = $client->get('https://api.example.com/endpoint', [
    'headers' => [
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer your_token',
    ],
    'query' => [
        'param1' => 'value1',
        'param2' => 'value2',
    ],
]);

To reuse the same client object for subsequent requests, simply call the corresponding method again. For example, you can make a POST request:

$response = $client->post('https://api.example.com/endpoint', [
    'json' => [
        'name' => 'John Doe',
        'email' => '[email protected]',
    ],
]);

By reusing the Guzzle client object, you can take advantage of persistent connections and other optimization features, resulting in better performance for your PHP requests.
