Variables using Guzzle not going through (Lumen) - php

Question

I have:
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
class GetBlahCommand extends Command {
protected $name = 'blah:blah';
protected $description = "name";
public function handle()
{
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('GET', 'https://someapi.com', [
'api_key' => ['privatekey']
]);
echo $res->getStatusCode();
}
}
But the param api_key isn't being passed along.
How can I get this to work?
I have adjusted my code, but now I am getting NULL returned:
$ndbnos = [
'ndbno' => '01009'
];
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://soemapi.com']);
$res = $client->request('GET', '/', [
'query' => array_merge([
'api_key' => 'somekey'
], $ndbnos)
])->getBody();
$res = json_decode($res);
var_dump($res);
I figured it out:
public function handle()
{
$ndbnos = [
'ndbno' => '01009'
];
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://someapi.com']);
$res = $client->request('GET', '', [
'query' => array_merge([
'api_key' => 'somekey',
'format' => 'json'
], $ndbnos)
]);
print_r(json_decode($res->getBody()));
}

You can be do it by the following way:
public function handle()
{
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://someapi.com/']);
$res = $client->request('GET', '/', [
'headers' => [
'api_key' => 'YOUR_KEY'
]
]);
}
I thought it's a header parameter. If it's a form input you can do it by the following way:
public function handle()
{
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://someapi.com/']);
$res = $client->request('GET', '/', [
'query' => [
'api_key' => 'YOUR_KEY'
]
]);
}
