Answer 1

This should work:

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('GET','http://www.conxn.co.in/CoxnsvcA.svc/Login');

$response_body = json_decode($response->getBody());

Answer 2

This should work for you.

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();

$response = $client->request("GET", "http://www.googleapi.com", ['headers' => ['Accept' => 'application/json']]); 

$response_data = json_decode((string) $response->getBody(), true);

return collect($response_data);
