Response

AbstractYes

Base class for all Horizon API response objects

This abstract class provides common functionality for all Horizon response types, including rate limiting information and HTTP client management. Every response from the Horizon API extends this class.

Rate Limiting: Horizon enforces rate limits on API requests. This class captures rate limit headers from responses, allowing clients to monitor their usage and implement appropriate throttling strategies.

Pagination: Many Horizon endpoints return paginated results. Paginated responses include navigation links (next, prev, self) and typically contain an array of records. Use the cursor parameter with request builders to navigate through pages.

Parameters
$headers : array<string|int, mixed>

Associative array of HTTP headers from the response

setHttpClient()

Sets the HTTP client for making follow-up requests

public setHttpClient([Client|null $httpClient = null ]) : void

Paginated responses contain links to next/previous pages. This HTTP client is used when following those links to fetch additional pages.

Parameters
$httpClient : Client|null = null

The Guzzle HTTP client to use for pagination

loadFromJson()

Loads response data from a JSON array

protected loadFromJson(array<string|int, mixed> $json) : void
