The biggest issue with working with third-party APIs is that we have very little visibility. We integrate them into our code base and test them - but we have no idea how often we use them unless the API we are integrating with has metrics we can use.

I will show you a rough outline of the base requirements below: class YourWatcher extends Watcher { public function register($app): void { // handle code for watcher here. }}

Let’s look at the buildClient method: private function buildClient(Application $app): Closure { return static function (Application $app): Client { $config = $app['config']['guzzle']??

So if you start seeing failures from API integrations, this will help you massively with your debugging.
