I’ll demonstrate how to retrieve JSON from a URL in a php script in this tutorial. JSON has gained popularity as a format for data sharing and web service outputs. PHP makes it pretty easy to perform an HTTP request and parse a JSON response from a URL, however beginners could find learning how to parse json challenging.
i will use an sample json url to retrive data by using this code.
- Its the script that you can copy and return the data. You can directly copy this code and enter your function & run that.
<em>//set your json url</em>
$url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";
<em>//call the api url</em>
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($json);
dd($json);
- Now you will get the results like this & you can use this where you need.
{
"userId": 1,
"id": 1,
"title": "delectus aut autem",
"completed": false
}
