API Client Design Across Languages - Part 2 - Making Requests
Like Node.js, the PHP ecosystem has quite a number of good HTTP request libraries. Guzzle is perhaps one of the most well known, but there are many other popular libraries out there. Luckily, PHP also has some interface standards around HTTP clients and messages, particularly PSR-7, PSR-17, and PSR-18,

What are your thoughts on HTTP clients? Toying around with a "new" (different) approach
I am curious how everyone feels about HTTP client packages in the PHP space, specifically packages like Guzzle, PHP HTTP, or HTTPful, etc.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Requests and HTTPFul you can also consider the following projects:
Guzzle - Guzzle, an extensible PHP HTTP client
PHP VCR - Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
Retrofit - Retrofit implementation in PHP. A REST client for PHP.
Buzz - PHP's lightweight HTTP client

curl-impersonate-php - Curl-Impersonate-PHP is an implementation of the original project Curl-Impersonate, available at https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate, which introduces a specialized cURL build that can mimic the behavior of four major browsers. By using Curl-Impersonate-PHP, you can make HTTP requests from PHP using cURL but with headers and behavior that resemble Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
