You can also configure the auth params when instantiating the client instead of adding it to each request:

$this->client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client([                                                                                                                                             
    'base_uri' => $this->endpoint,                                                                                                                                                   
    'headers' => [                                                                                                                                                                   
        'Authorization' => ['Basic'.base64_encode($this->username.':'.$this->password)],                                                                                                 
    ],                                                                                                                                                                               
]);
