Hello Team!
I am new to Spryker. I am trying to a REST API that reads in data from an external source that my module can use from the backend. I'm having trouble finding a place to start. Does anyone have any documentation or first steps they could share?

GuzzleHttp should be already distributed with Spryker.
For usage see https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html

How to configure guzzle in Spryker to use it (please do it properly in the factory of your business layer, here it's just a lot shorter):

<?php


use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
use GuzzleHttp\MessageFormatter;
use GuzzleHttp\Middleware;
use GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions;
use Spryker\Shared\Log\Config\DefaultLoggerConfig;

$stackHandler = HandlerStack::create();
$stackHandler->push(Middleware::log(
    $this->getLogger(new DefaultLoggerConfig()),
    new MessageFormatter(MessageFormatter::DEBUG),
)); // debug format
$config = [
    RequestOptions::CONNECT_TIMEOUT => 5,
    RequestOptions::TIMEOUT => 10 * 60, // seconds
    'headers' => [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        'Accept' => 'application/json',
    ],
    'debug' => false,
    'handler' => $stackHandler,
];
$httpClient = new Client($config);

Examples:

$response = $httpClient->request('GET', '<https://example.com>');
$data = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents(), true);
$response = $httpClient->post('<https://example.com>', ['body' => 'foo']);
$data = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents(), true);
