Guzzle curl error 18 with Laravel - php

Question

I have an api and a client that I'm developing, both in laravel and I get that error 18 when I try to connect to the api using guzzle.
In my api controller I have this:
public function index()
{
$users = User::orderBy('username', 'asc');
return Response::json(array(
'error' => false,
'users' => $users->get()->toArray()),
200
);
}
And if I do curl --user admin#admin.com:password http://myapi.api/api/v1/users
I get the info that I need correctly on my console:
{"error":false,"users":[{"id":"1","firstname":"","lastname":"","username":"admin#admin.com","created_at":"2014-10-17 15:35:10","updated_at":"2014-10-17 15:35:10","client_id":"0","enterprise_id":"0","usertype_id":"0"},{"id":"2","firstname":"","lastname":"","username":"seconduser","created_at":"2014-10-17 15:35:10","updated_at":"2014-10-17 15:35:10","client_id":"0","enterprise_id":"0","usertype_id":"0"}]}
The url even works in the browser (I get a popup for authentication and after it I get the same input on the browser). So it's only failing via guzzle.
Now on my client I have Guzzle installed and I'm trying this:
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$user='admin#admin.com';
$pass='password';
$res = $client->get('http://myapi.api/api/v1/users', array(
'auth' => array('admin#admin.com', 'password')
));
$users=$res->json();
$users=$users['users'];
And I get the error:
[curl] (#18) See http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html for an explanation of cURL errors [url] http://myapi.api/api/v1/users
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Using -v in the command I get:
$ curl -v --user admin#admin.com:password http://myapi.api/api/v1/users

EDIT: This question is probably too specific and even though I haven't found a solution and have gone a different way with this project because specifications have changed I will leave it here in case it can help someone.
My guess on the answer is as André Daniel suggests in a comment, that the authentication is breaking something and guzzle isn't giving me my original json thus creating the error.

Answer 1

On your question you said this URL works via the command line:
http://myapi.api/api/v1/users/1
But you are calling this URL via guzzle
http://myapi.api/api/v1/users
So are you sure the route you are trying to call via guzzle works via the command line?

Answer 2

I finally changed the approach as we needed a different authentication method, so this question is no longer relevant to my case.

Answer 3

I know this is pretty old, but here's what I got to work with Guzzle:
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
$user = 'admin#admin.com';
$pass = 'password';
$res = $client->get('http://myapi.api/api/v1/users', [
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode($user . ":" . $pass),
],
]);
$users = $res->json();
$users = $users['users'];
You could even store the authorization data on the Guzzle instance, like this:
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client([
'headers' => [
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode($user . ":" . $pass),
],
]);
$user='admin#admin.com';
$pass='password';
$res = $client->get('http://myapi.api/api/v1/users');
$users = $res->json();
$users = $users['users'];
