Making an API call between two laravel websites

I'm trying to make an API request between two laravel websites. For the first website, this is how it's structured.

api.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::group(['prefix' => 'v1'], function () {
  Route::get('getCountries', 'ApiController@getCountries');
});

ApiController

public function getCountries()
    {              
        $country = Country::get();
        $country->makeHidden(['flag']); //svg 
        return $country;
    }

This returns on postman using GET https://website.com/api/v1/getCountries:

[{"id":1,"iso":"AF","name":"AFGHANISTAN","nicename":"Afghanistan","iso3":"AFG","numcode":4,"phonecode":93,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"id":2,"iso":"AL","name":"ALBANIA","nicename":"Albania","iso3":"ALB","numcode":8,"phonecode":355,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"id":3,"iso":"DZ","name":"ALGERIA","nicename":"Algeria","iso3":"DZA","numcode":12,"phonecode":213,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"id":4,"iso":"AS","name":"AMERICAN SAMOA","nicename":"American Samoa","iso3":"ASM","numcode":16,"phonecode":1684,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null},{"id":5,"iso":"AD","name":"ANDORRA","nicename":"

On a different website, calling this API endpoint with this

web.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
Route::get('/test', function () {      

        $response = Http::get('http://website.com/api/v1/getCountries');
        dd($response);
    });

gives cURL error 28: Failed to connect to website.com port 80: Connection timed out.

Any idea as how to make an API call between 2 laravel websites? Could it be something related to Auth, Headers or something else?

This issue was simply a firewall configuration on the server that didn't allow requests to come from the same place. Hosting opened up the required port and it worked without any issues.
