What I want is get an object from an API with a HTTP (eg, jQuery\'s AJAX) request to an external api. How do I start? I did research on Mr Google but I can\'t find anything

Based upon an answer of a similar question here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22695523/1412268

Take a look at Guzzle

$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$res = $client->get('https://api.github.com/user', ['auth' =>  ['user', 'pass']]);
echo $res->getStatusCode(); // 200
echo $res->getBody(); // { "type": "User", ....
