Introduction

The Http Client contains a powerful Http Query Builder. It gives you the possibility to set query parameters fluently, and it supports a few grammars. These grammars are responsible for assembling (or building) the actual http query string. Each offer a few options, which can be specified via your configs/http-clients.php configuration. Read the configuration chapter, for additional information about how to configure your desired grammar.

Example

$response = $client
        ->where('last_name', 'thomsen')
        ->where('age', 'gt', 31)
        ->get('https://acme.org/api/v1/users');

Performed Request

The following illustrates the request that was sent, from previous example. Each tab shows the http request that was sent, using a different Http Query Grammar.

GET https://acme.org/api/v1/users?last_name=thomsen&age[gt]=31

GET https://acme.org/api/v1/users?filter[last_name]=thomsen&filter[age][gt]=31

GET https://acme.org/api/v1/users?$filter=last_name eq `thomsen` and age gt 31
