If you use it with symfony, you can also define it in your configuration file (config/packages/eight_points_guzzle.yaml for symfony4 or flex or config.yml for the other version)

In your configuration file :

eight_points_guzzle:
    clients:         
        your_service:
            # Write here the host where to do requests
            base_url: "yourURL"

            options:
                timeout: 30
                auth:
                    - yourLogin     # login
                    - yourPassword # password
            plugin: ~

Then, in your service, controller, etc....

$client  = $this->getContainer()->get('eight_points_guzzle.client.your_service');
$response = $client->get('yourRoute');
