How to solve this problem:

• download and extract cacert.pem following the instructions at https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html

• save it on your filesystem somewhere (for example, XAMPP users might use C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem)

• in your php.ini, put this file location in the [curl] section (putting it in the [openssl] section is also a good idea):

Example:

[curl]
curl.cainfo = "C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"

[openssl]
openssl.cafile = "C:\xampp\php\extras\ssl\cacert.pem"

• restart your webserver (e.g. Apache) and PHP FPM server if applicable

You could also remove SSL validation on localhost. Just need to add options to de GuzzleHttp client in the 'withOptions' method to disable verification.

 $options = ['verify'=>false];

To check if a local environment can do a simple if:

public function authApi(){

    $options = [];

    if (App::environment('local')) {
        $options = ['verify'=>false];
    }
    return Http::withBasicAuth($this->client_key, $this->client_key_secret)->withOptions($options);

}
