Why is the HTTP request works fine in Tinker but not in the app in Laravel 7?

Question

I'm trying to upload a file doing a POST request to an API. So when I test it in Tinker it works fine, it takes like 5 seconds to upload the file, but when I test my own endpoint using Postman I get this error:

"message": "Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded".

Not sure why is it working on Tinker fine but not in the app.

Here's how my request looks like:

$response = Http::attach('file', file_get_contents(asset('storage/' . $attachment->type . '/' . $attachment->name)), $attachment->name)
        ->post('https://api-example.com/endpoint', 
            [
                'uid' => env('HANDWRYTTEN_UID'),
                'type' => 'cover'
            ]);
        return $response->json();

I have cleared the cache and config like this

php artisan cache:clear

and

php artisan config:clear

Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you very much!

is `"message": "Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded".` thrown by your server or the API?.. — Alberto Sinigaglia, Aug 17 '20 at 21:25
Yes, it's the same file. It should do the same thing because the request from postman to my localhost I only send an ID, I do the same thing from Tinker. Then the method takes that ID to grab the file and upload it using the external API endpoint. — Miss Sandwich, Aug 17 '20 at 21:31
if you increase the max execution time does it ends or it doesn't work either ? — Alberto Sinigaglia, Aug 17 '20 at 21:32
Let me try that, however, using Tinker it only takes like 5-8 seconds to upload, not sure if that's the issue. — Miss Sandwich, Aug 17 '20 at 21:35
Could it be a glitch with Postman? Can you try using browser `fetch()` or other way to test the request — cheryllium, Aug 17 '20 at 22:19
Hi there! For some reason I tried to change the way to send ```file_get_contents()``` and I used ```storage_path()``` instead of ```asset()``` and it worked! So maybe there was an error with the file path but I wasn't getting any errors about that. It's now solved,thank you @Berto99 and @cheryllium ! — Miss Sandwich, Aug 17 '20 at 22:44
