Implement an API into our laravel 5.2 php project

Hi freelancers! I am Paul, I am here today to offer you this proposal for some PHP back-end development work. We have a Laravel 5.2 project already up and running. We wish to implement an API, so using laravel you will call upon built-in methods, OR Guzzle HTTP to make requests. Our ideal candidate/company will: * be proficient in 'the laravel way' * confident at general PHP coding and styles * test their own work The aims of this broadly are: 1. Get shipping rates between two locations for x parcels 2. Create shipping label using a unique ID from (1) There are 2 or 3 requests to be made to the api, each one is a simple http POST call. Briefly speaking; PHASE 1: 1. you will obtain a shipping price from an API - we will provide credentials/endpoints 2. you will mutate the received price JSON data into a specific array format 3. return the specific array format (which we will dictate) ideally as an object but we may change spec to just an array 4. a customer can choose / select this piece of data PHASE 2: 1. you will create a Laravel JOB class, we have a stub ready to go you just need to write the methods for it.. 2. you will make methods that will then take form inputs (provided to the job as database/orm data) and push this data to the same API to raise a shipping label/booking 3. you will make one final method that can be used to pull-back a label PDF and store it in our database as base64 encoded TEXT data Notes; - Our database exists - Our system already functions - We use blade for views with angular included (but the majority of this job is back-end only) - We also own the API on a different server - Laravel 5.2, PHP 5.6 (deployable to 5.6 or 7.0 so only use 5.6 PHP methods and Laravel 5.2 functionality) - Do not add any new dependencies - Our [login to view URL] is attached which shows you which libs you can use (Guzzlehttp client is on there) - The task is effectively; - talk to an api, get some data, change the format of that data, output it, then, talk to api in a Job which is run by a queue worker and talk to the api one more time to push some data, then pull a PDF shipping label back Any questions please drop a message, be patient it takes some time to work through the inbox on freelancer. Timescale wise; would like this delivering by end of the month so 8-9 days from today (31st Jan / 1st Feb is deadline). Internally we would estimate this job to take between 8 hours and 12 hours development. Thanks for considering this proposal
