Are there specific tools or software recommended for handling API integration in PHP projects?

When handling API integration in PHP projects, it is recommended to use libraries such as Guzzle or cURL to make HTTP requests and handle responses. These libraries provide easy-to-use methods for sending requests, handling authentication, and parsing JSON/XML responses.

// Using Guzzle for API integration
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use GuzzleHttp\Client;

$client = new Client();

$response = $client->request('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data');

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

// Process the API response data
foreach ($data as $item) {
    echo $item['name'] . ': ' . $item['value'] . PHP_EOL;
}
