Laravel Guzzle returns blank response in Get() method

Question

I use this code to get balance from another server, it works fine on XAMPP locally, but it doesn't on the production server, it just returns blank response page.

public static function balance(){
    try {
        return (string) (new \GuzzleHttp\Client())
                  ->get("http://www.*****.ps/getbalance.php?user_name=****&user_pass=*****")
                  ->getBody();
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        return '-';
    }
    return '-';
}

Answer 1

My issue was a problem with the destination server, for some reason our server got blocked. There is no problem in the mentioned code. It works fine.
