title: Laravel retrieving data from REST API
body: <p>Okay so I have a following situation:</p>
  
  <p>The system I am building is retrieving data from a REST api and saving that data into a database.  What I am wondering is how could this be implemented and where would behaviour like this go in sense of Laravels structure (controller, model etc.)?  Does Laravel have a built in mechanism to retrieve data from external sources?</p>
