title: How to send a request to an external API
body: <p>I am new to Symfony2 and I'm trying to send a</p>
  
  <pre><code>new Request()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to and external API. This is what I have but I don't know if it is correct use of the built in request/response library.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$request = new Request('https://myservice.com/apimethod?foo=bar', 'GET'); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone tell me if this will return a response provided the API I'm trying to call exists?! If not, what am I doing wrong?</p>
