Guzzle in laravel keeps loading, not returning values

Question

Im using Laravel passport for API authentication. I have two routes /api/login and /oauth/token

Since I cannot hardcode my client id and the login receives from JS and the params and client id is hardcoded inside a login method(laravel), Im trying to post the values using Guzzle (6.0) to oauth/token (POST requests).

I followed a youtube video and there it works but not mine. Iam using 5.6, not sure which version was in the video. Could someone help?

Below is the Video

Below is the code

$http = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$request = $http->post(URI, '/oauth/token', [
    'form_params' => [
        'username' => 'bar',
        'password' => 'xxxxxx',
        'client_id' => 2,
        'grant_type' => 'password',
        'client_secret' => '00000000000000000'
    ]
]);

return $request;

Answer 1

You are not getting the response only returning guzzle $request initalization so add getBody()

   $http = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
    $request = $http->post(URI, '/oauth/token', [
        'form_params' => [
            'username' => 'bar',
            'password' => 'xxxxxx',
            'client_id' => 2,
            'grant_type' => 'password',
            'client_secret' => '00000000000000000'
        ]
    ]);

    return $request->getBody();
