Make a GET with Guzzle in Laravel 5.1

I have an API, and make GET to it via Postmen

Ex.http://site/api/users.count

I got

{
    "status": 200,
    "message": "Success",
    "data": {
        "count": 8
    }
}

I've tried to use Guzzle

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

include it

I add these 2 lines on top of my class

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

---

use it

$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('GET','http://site/api/users.count');
dd($res);

result

expected result

I am hoping to get a similar result like this :

{
    "status": 200,
    "message": "Success",
    "data": {
        "count": 8
    }
}

question

How would one go about and debug this further ?

I'm open to any suggestions at this moment.

Any hints/suggestions / help on this be will be much appreciated!
