Can Laravel/Guzzle make HTTP client requests?

I am trying to make a http client request in Laravel. I have tried using guzzle directly and it works, but when doing it through "API around the Guzzle HTTP client" in laravel, I always get a 400.
I can’t find where the error is, since it seems to be correctly.
I give the example of the two cases:

$method = ‘post’, and route and $headers are the same too.

Guzzle (200 success):

    $client = new GuzzleHttpClient();
    $response = $client->request($method, $this->BASEURL . $endpoint, [
        'body' => '{"name":"testName"}',
        'headers' => $headers,
      ]);

Laravel http Client (400 bad request):

    $response = Http::withHeaders($headers)->withBody('{"name":"testName"}', 'application/json')->{$method}($this->BASEURL . $endpoint);

EDIT
Example from AirbnbAPI using guzzle:

<?php
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

$client = new GuzzleHttpClient();

$response = $client->request('POST', 'https://api.airbnb.com/v2/listings', [
  'body' => '{"name":"erer"}',
  'headers' => [
    'X-Airbnb-API-Key' => 'XXXXXXXX',
    'X-Airbnb-OAuth-Token' => 'XXXXXX',
    'X-Airbnb-Req-Api-Version' => '2022.12.31',
    'accept' => 'application/json',
    'content-type' => 'application/json',
  ],
]);

echo $response->getBody();

    You’re using the HTTP package wrong. The way we use HTTP package in Laravel is by utilizing the GuzzleHTTP i.e. use GuzzleHttpPsr7Utils; for example the code can be something like this:

    use GuzzleHttpPsr7Utils;
....
$response = Http::withHeaders($headers)->withBody(Utils::streamFor('{"name":"testName"}'), 'application/json')->{$method}($this->BASEURL . $endpoint);

    You can learn more about GuzzleHTTP package on Laravel official website documentation

    You could pass in the json body directly when calling the method as a second argument:

        $response = Http::withHeaders($headers)->{$method}($this->BASEURL . $endpoint, ['name' => 'testName']);

    By default data will be sent using the application/json content type.

    If your $headers array has a "content-type" key that is not cased as Content-Type, then the issue may be that you’re sending over multiple content-type headers.

    For example, if your $headers array has a content-type key, then with the call to withHeaders(), you’re setting the content-type header.

    The next call to withBody() will then set the Content-Type header to application/json.

    Since the header names are keys in an array, and they are not the same (array keys are case sensitive), the headers array will end up with both a content-type header and a Content-Type header, and both will be sent in the request.

    You either need to remove the content-type entry from your $headers variable, or you need to ensure it is cased as Content-Type so the Http client will overwrite it properly.
