I am having trouble getting any data out of a mashape API, I have made the UNIREST POST but I am unable to echo the data back to myself, this is what the call should return;
{
"result": {
"name": "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim",
"score": "92",
"rlsdate": "2011-11-11",
"genre": "Role-Playing",
"rating": "M",
"platform": "PlayStation 3",
"publisher": "Bethesda Softworks",
"developer": "Bethesda Game Studios",
"url": "http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim"
}
}
And my code...
require_once 'MYDIR/mashape/unirest-php/lib/Unirest.php';
$response = Unirest::post(
"https://byroredux-metacritic.p.mashape.com/find/game",
array(
"X-Mashape-Authorization" => "MY API AUTH CODE"
),
array(
"title" => "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim",
"platform" => undefined
)
);
echo "$response->body->name";
?>
Can anyone suggest how I can get it to echo the "name".
Any help would be appreciated :)
It appears the way you are trying to display the body is preventing you from seeing an error in the response telling you that the property
platform
is required to be anumber
.Try using
json_encode($response->body)
instead to see the full response:Once you've gotten the response you can then use
$response->body->result->name
