See every API call your Laravel app sends

1. Make sure the proxy port is open

The proxy listens on port 8080 by default; the UI is on port 8000. In Docker Compose, expose both ports.

services:
  buggregator:
    image: ghcr.io/buggregator/server:latest
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"   # UI + API
      - "8080:8080"   # HTTP Proxy

2. Set the proxy for all HTTP calls

Add this to AppServiceProvider. The isLocal() check keeps it out of production.

// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

public function boot(): void
{
    if ($this->app->isLocal()) {
        Http::globalOptions([
            'proxy' => env('BUGGREGATOR_PROXY_URL', 'http://127.0.0.1:8080'),
            'verify' => false,
        ]);
    }
}

3. In Docker Compose, set the proxy URL

When the app runs in a container next to Buggregator, use the service name.

BUGGREGATOR_PROXY_URL=http://buggregator:8080

4. Or proxy one call only

To check a single request, set the options on that call.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;

$response = Http::withOptions([
    'proxy' => 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
    'verify' => false,
])->get('https://api.example.com/users');

5. Read the request and the response

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000. Each call shows the full URL, request and response headers and body, a color-coded status code and the response time in milliseconds. JSON bodies open as a tree.

Laravel's HTTP client is built on Guzzle (Laravel docs), and globalOptions passes Guzzle options to every request. Buggregator's proxy forwards each request to the real API and records both directions. For HTTPS it signs certificates with a CA kept in memory, which is why the client must skip verification.
