Laravel query string into api call in routes

Question

I have this route

Route::get('/getLocation/{postalCode}', function () {
    $response = Http::get('https://theapi');
    return $response->json();
});

Sadly this doesn't work

I can reach the api with

https://theapi?PostalCode=xxxx

How can i replicate this in my route to work?

You got double }} there, try delete it so it will be like this:

Route::get('/getLocation/{postalCode}', function () {
    $response = Http::get('https://theapi');
    return $response->json();
});

Edit:

Add the route parameter to API function parameters

Route::get('/getLocation/{postalCode}', function ($postalCode) {
    // do whatever you want to postalCode variable
    $response = Http::get('https://theapi', [
        'PostalCode' => $postalCode
    ]);
    return $response->json();
});

doesn't work, i need to send the postal code as parameter to the api. I think i need to pass the value in the route, access to it inside this function and send on the api call

I can access the variable now, your example will be correct if you edit it to send this variable to the API in the parameters. Tested and works

edited your question so others can see the working example

Reminder, if you need more than one variable later, the parameter for the function will follow the route parameter order, naming isn't important except you are using binding
