Add the controller** ```php app/Http/Controllers/CreateCookieController.php theme={"dark"} createCookie(title: 'Example title', provider: 'This website', category: 'necessary', purpose: 'Example purpose'); } } ``` The other values are the example’s: take yours from the request, a form or your database. **2. Add the route** ```php routes/web.php theme={"dark"} use App\Http\Controllers\CreateCookieController; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; Route::post('/cookie', CreateCookieController::class)->middleware('auth'); ``` It acts with your key’s access, so `auth` lets only your signed-in users reach it. **3. Call it** Your own page’s form or script sends `POST /cookie` (a form adds `@csrf`, as every web route checks it), and gets back its answer as JSON. Test it, below, calls it. > [!TIP] > > To keep the call in an Action instead, this writes `app/Actions/Attract/CreateCookie.php` (an invokable Action that calls `createCookie()`) and its test under `tests/Feature/Actions/Attract/` (Pest when your app has it): > > ```bash Terminal theme={"dark"} > php artisan make:attract-action cookies.createCookie > ``` ## Call it from the terminal ```bash Terminal theme={"dark"} php artisan attract:call cookies.createCookie \ 'title=Example title' \ 'provider=This website' \ category=necessary \ 'purpose=Example purpose' ``` It calls `createCookie()` on your default site and prints its answer as JSON. It writes, so it asks first: add `--force` to skip the question in a script.

In published mode (the default) it goes live too, so the key also needs `global:publish` (or a master above it); send `aposMode=draft` to change only the draft. A signed-in person may call it as far as their own permissions allow; anyone else gets 403. * **Rate limit:** the key’s own writes-per-minute limit, set when the key is created (default 120); over it, 429 with `Retry-After`. The client waits and retries for you; you see `RateLimited` only if that runs out. * **Retries:** a write is sent again only after a 429 (refused before it acted) or when it never reached the site. After a timeout or a 5xx it may have landed: check before you send it again. * **Timeout:** 15 s per attempt by default; raise `timeout` in `config/fetchski-attract.php` for longer. ## Test it It calls the route above with the SDK faked: the fake answers every call with a valid example, so nothing leaves your machine and no config or key is needed. Save it as `tests/Feature/CreateCookieTest.php`, then run your tests: ```php tests/Feature/CreateCookieTest.php theme={"dark"} actingAs(User::factory()->create()) ->postJson('/cookie') ->assertOk(); Attract::assertCalled('cookies.createCookie'); } } ``` ```bash Terminal theme={"dark"} php artisan test ``` **Answer with your own values:** fake `cookies.createCookie` with `Cookie::factory()->make([...])`, the fields you give over a valid example. ```php tests/Feature/CreateCookieAnswerTest.php theme={"dark"} Cookie::factory()->make(['title' => 'Your value']), ]); $cookie = Attract::cookies()->createCookie(title: 'Example title', provider: 'This website', category: 'necessary', purpose: 'Example purpose'); $this->assertSame('Your value', $cookie->title); } } ``` ## Related > [card] [List a cookie’s locales](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/get-cookie-locales.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->getCookieLocales()` > [card] [List cookies](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/list-cookies.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->listCookies()` > [card] [Get a cookie](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/get-cookie.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->getCookie()` > [card] [Replace a cookie](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/replace-cookie.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->replaceCookie()` > [card] [Delete a cookie](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/delete-cookie.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->deleteCookie()` > [card] [Update a cookie](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/laravel/reference/cookies/update-cookie.md) > > `Attract::cookies()->updateCookie()` > [card] [POST /cookie](https://docs.fetchski-attract.com/api-reference/cookies/create-a-cookie.md) > > The endpoint this calls, in the API reference: the HTTP request and answer, and every rule the site checks.
