You don't need to add Guzzle to your composer.json, it's already autoloaded by it's own composer.json.
Guzzle 4
PHP 5.4.x+ required
composer require "guzzlehttp/guzzle" "~4.0"
Create a client:
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
Get results:
$response = $client->get('http://api.github.com/users/antonioribeiro');
dd($response->getBody());
Guzzle 3
Install it:
composer require "guzzle/guzzle" "~3.0"
Create a client setting the base URL:
$client = new \Guzzle\Service\Client('http://api.github.com/users/');
Get your response:
$username = 'antonioribeiro';
$response = $client->get("users/$username")->send();
And display it:
dd($response);
If you still don't get it running, check the file vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php
, Guzzle must appear in it. If it doesn't, remove your vendor folder and install it again:
rm -rf vendor
rm composer.lock
composer install
