Quickstart: use the Credicorp public API in Laravel

Here is the idiomatic way to call the Credicorp public API from Laravel. Fetch the product catalogue, cache it, and read the base host from configuration — the same shape you extend later for pricing and quotes, always keeping partner secrets server-side.

Call the API from Laravel

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

class CredicorpClient
{
    public function products(): array
    {
        return Http::baseUrl(config('services.credicorp.base'))
            ->acceptJson()
            ->timeout(10)
            ->get('products')
            ->throw()
            ->json('data');
    }
}

Use Laravel's `Http` facade with a base URL from `config/services.php`. `->throw()` turns a non-2xx into an exception carrying the response, and `->timeout()` bounds every call. Cache the result with `Cache::remember` for the product list's max-age.

Point at sandbox in development

Set the base URL to https://sandbox.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in development and CI, and to https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in production — driven by the one environment variable your framework already exposes. See choosing a base URL.

Next steps

From here you can add a quote form, an enquiry submission or an embeddable product picker. Send applicants to apply to start a real journey.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the base URL go?

Add a credicorp block to config/services.php and read it with config('services.credicorp.base'), backed by a .env value per environment.

Should I cache the product list?

Yes. The catalogue changes infrequently, so cache it for the response's max-age. This keeps the API off your hot path and well under the rate limit.
