Question

I've got an issue for laravel 5.4 when I trying to using guzzleHttp. here is my code.

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$url = 'http://example.com';
$client = new Client();

$parameter = ['query' => ['name' => 'xxx', 'address' => 'yyy'], 'headers' => [ 'User-Agent' => 'xxxx', 'exceptions' => false, 'timeout' => 10 ]];
$res = $client->request('GET', $url, $parameter);

if ($res->getStatusCode() == 200)
{
 $json = (string)$res->getBody();
 return $json;
}

and I've got this error on log: Error Exception: Object of class GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request could not be converted to string
