If composer and Laravel are installed, it takes few command to create project.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel
Require guzzle to project
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
composer global require laravel/installer
We need to create new command
php artisan make:command FetchRates
And implement handle method in /app/Console/Commands/FetchRates.php to fetch data and store it.
$client = new Client();
$requestFrom = $client->request('GET', 'http://data.fixer.io/api/latest?access_key={key}');
$responseJson = $requestFrom->getBody()->getContents();
Cache::store('file')->put('rates', $responseJson, 10);Than add it to /app/Console/Kernel.php and set it to run every minute
$schedule->command('inspire')->everyMinute();And run it
php artisan fetch:rates
Single responce for /routes/api.php request, first it checks cache and if empty fetches new data
$responseJson = Cache::store('file')->get('rates');
if(!$responseJson) {
$client = new Client();
$requestFrom = $client->request('GET', 'http://data.fixer.io/api/latest?access_key={key}');
$responseJson = $requestFrom->getBody()->getContents();
}
return response($responseJson, 200)->header('Content-Type', 'application/json');
