3. How is this done?
Always look at https://codex.wordpress.org/HTTP_API
• wp_remote_get() - Retrieves a URL using the GET HTTP method.
• wp_remote_post() - Retrieves a URL using the POST HTTP method.
• wp_remote_head() - Retrieves a URL using the HEAD HTTP method.
• wp_remote_request() - Retrieves a URL using either the default GET or a custom HTTP method (should be caps) that you
specify.
