@olivM This was an issues I faced as well! I needed extra information about the requests being sent. I opened PR #6 which, if it's merged, will allow the user to specify X-Barstool-UUID as a request header when sending a Saloon request.This way you could pre-define a uuid when sending the request and can then save that against a row in a different table of logs as a barstool_id. So you can store extra information with a direct link to the barstool logs without bloating the barstools table.

My instance was that we were syncing users from a third party platform and needed to keep track of if something went wrong. We had a user_sync_logs table were were using anyway and adding barstool_id to it would increase visibility of any issues.

It would allow your code to look something like this:

$barstoolId = Str::uuid();
$request = new RequestWhichAcceptsCustomHeaders(headers: ['X-Barstool-UUID' => $barstoolId]);
$response = $request->send();
if($response->failed()) {
    UserSyncLog::create([
        'user_id' => auth()->id,
        'barstool_id' => $barstoolId,
    ]);
}
