How to make SOAP request in Laravel?

Question

This request requires Basic Auth: user and password.

Headers with two fields.

and xml body.

This API is tested working in Postman. But I am not sure how to make this work in Laravel, I only work with JSON before.

Any suggestion how can I get started? or any package I can use?

You can use http post

 $http=Http::withHeaders([
            'Content-Type'=>'application/xml',
            'SOAPAction'=>'balance'
        ])->post(url,$xmlBodyContent);
    
    
    
        return response($http->body())
            ->withHeaders([
                'Content-Type' => 'text/xml'
            ]);

Another way is to use withBody method

$http=Http::withHeaders([
            'Content-Type'=>'application/xml',
            'SOAPAction'=>'balance'
        ])->withBody($xmlBodyContent,"text/xml")->post(url);
