Login into your application should be as straightforward as doing a post request to the correct endpoint with correct credentials.

eg from the docs at http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/latest/quickstart.html

$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://httpbin.org/post', [
    'form_params' => [
        'field_name' => 'abc',
        'other_field' => '123',
        'nested_field' => [
            'nested' => 'hello'
        ]
    ] ]);

However most likely the application is using cookies to maintain state. By default Guzzle doesn't store cookies, but you can enable this behaviour with the cookie plugin. http://guzzle3.readthedocs.io/plugins/cookie-plugin.html

Once this is enabled you just need an initial request to login to the application and initiate the session. Your second call should happen as a logged in user.
