Laravel patch external API - laravel

Question

I'm getting data from an external API source.
Im using this to retrieve my orders
$data = Http::get(
$this->URL .'orders?language=nl_NL&limit=100&format=json&status_changed_start_date='
. $last_poll
. '&ordering=asc&partner_token='.$this->PARTNERKEY.'&token='.$this->MERCHANTTOKEN.''
)->json();
following the guide on the partner site I should use this format to update a specific record.
curl -X PATCH $this->URL ."orders/2?language=nl_NL&format=json&override_minimum=false&override_stock=false&mutate_stock=true&partner_token='.$this->PARTNERKEY.'&token='.$this->MERCHANTTOKEN.'" \
-H "accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"status\":2,\"archived\":true,\"comments\":{\"internal\":\"Owner's commentary\"}}"
How would I implement this within a Laravel controller ?

Answer 1

Use the HTTP Client provide by Laravel:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class MyController
{
public function update (Request $request)
{
// Maybe use from $request?
$id = 2;
Http::patch($this->url . "/orders/" . $id, [
'version' => 1,
'order_number' => 2,
'language' => 'nl_NL',
'format' => 'json',
'override_minimum' => false,
// .. put here the other parameters
]);
}
}

Hi Here is my final code.
this seems to be working as I needed
$client = new Client([
// Base URI is used with relative requests
'base_uri' => $this->URL,
]);
$response = $client->request('PATCH', 'orders/' . $item['number'] .'?language=nl_NL&format=json&override_minimum=false&override_stock=false&mutate_stock=true&partner_token='.$this->PARTNERKEY.'&token='.$this->MERCHANTTOKEN, [
'json' => [
'status' => 2,
'archived' => true,
'comments' => ['internal' => $comment]],
]);
