Laravel Spy

Laravel Spy is a lightweight Laravel package designed to track and log outgoing HTTP requests made by your Laravel application.

This package is useful for debugging, monitoring, and auditing external API calls or HTTP requests, providing developers with a zero config, simple way to inspect request details such as URLs, methods, headers, and responses.

Features

Tracks all outgoing HTTP requests made via Laravel's HTTP client.
Tracks outgoing requests made with Guzzle (enabled by default).
Logs request details, including URL, method, headers, payload, and response.
Configurable logging options to customize and obfuscate sensitive data.

Requirements

PHP: ^8.1
Laravel: ^10.0 | ^11.0 | ^12.0 | ^13.0
Development Dependencies (optional):
- laravel/pint: ^1.0 (for code style linting)
- phpunit/phpunit: ^9.0 | ^10.0 | ^11.0 (for running tests)

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require farayaz/laravel-spy

The package uses Laravel's auto-discovery feature. After installation, the package is ready to use with its default configuration.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Farayaz\LaravelSpy\LaravelSpyServiceProvider"

php artisan migrate

Usage

Once installed and configured, Laravel Spy automatically tracks all outgoing HTTP requests made using Laravel's Http facade and Guzzle. The package logs the following details for each request:

The full URL of the request
The HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT)
Request Headers
Request Body
Response Header
Response Body
Response HTTP Status code
Request duration (milliseconds)

Example:

After installing laravel-spy and publishing the configuration, any usage of Laravel's HTTP client (for example, in your controllers or jobs) will be automatically logged.

Laravel Spy will log the details of this outgoing request to the http_logs table in your database.

Http::get('https://github.com/farayaz/laravel-spy/');

Quick Configuration

Configure these via environment variables:

SPY_ENABLED=true
SPY_DASHBOARD_ENABLED=false
