Laravel中第三方API连接的最佳位置

Question

I'm writing a Laravel application using one or more third-party APIs when it suddenly dawned on me. Where is the best place within the Laravel application structure to set up the API connection to consume it from within my Controllers? Would you use a Service or put the logic somewhere else?

$this->api = new RestApi();
    ->setUrl(getenv('API_REST_URL'))
    ->setUsername(getenv('API_USERNAME'))
    ->setPassword(getenv('API_PASSWORD'))
    ->connect();

Using services would be the better approach in Laravel, once your third party is not a direct route or content in your API, per se, it should not be in your Controller. You may want to use a Service with Guzzle.
