Laravel checking data with API through API

I have some data that compressed with gzip in an application from here: app.myaddress.com/data/api/1.

The data contains several parameters in JSON format like follows:

{
    "id": 1,
    "data": "abcabcabcabcabc" //this is the compressed data
}

I need to check the compressed data with another 3rd party service, we can just say the address like follows: app2.myaddress.com/check_data/abcabc by API request, but it’s needed a header authentication:

{
    "content-type": "application/json",
    "api-key": 123456
}

app2.myaddress.com will return data JSON format like follows:

{
    "name": "hello",
    "address": "australia"
}

What I need to do is just checking a data by accessing URL like: app.myaddress.com/data/api/checked/1 then the controller will process the data include checking through app2.myaddress.com and return the value into app.myaddress.com

You can use cURL or Guzzle to access both URL inside your function. Here is the documentation of Guzzle: http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html
