The reason things are jumbled is because the output was set for command line php. If you run this as a script via a webserver, then you will be outputting html and you would need to add the desired html. Just to get a quick look at it, you can add pre tags around it. Anything else would be a tutorial in html and I have to assume you can do that on your own. echo "<pre>"; foreach($json['data'] as $data) { echo "Title: {$data['title']}\n"; echo "Event Time: {$data['live_event']['start_time']}\n"; echo "Streams:\n"; foreach($data['live_event']['stream_list'] as $i => $stream) { $i++; echo " $i. {$stream['stream_id']}\n"; } echo "\n"; } echo "</pre>"; As for format of the number, the important thing is that you read my code and figure out why it does what it does. Then changing the way the number looks should be easy. As for the date/time, I just used what you were using, but it looks like if you want a Datetime value, you should use $data['live_event']['start_at'] instead of start_time. In order to change the format you might need to look into the php DateTime Class.

This is what I was looking for: $jsondata = file_get_contents("https://kalebdf.com/flo/api.php?url=events%2Fnow-and-upcoming%3Flimit%3D70%26tz%3DAmerica%2FNew_York%26live_only%3D1%26site_id%3D1%252C2%252C3%252C4%252C5%252C6%252C7%252C8%252C9%252C10%252C11%252C12%252C13%252C14%252C15%252C16%252C17%252C18%252C19%252C20%252C21%252C22%252C23%252C24%252C25%252C26%252C27%252C28%252C29%252C30%252C31%252C32%252C33%252C34%252C35%252C36%252C37%252C38%252C39%252C41%252C43"); $json = json_decode($jsondata, true); var_dump($json['data']); Now that we can see your source json, this is obviously a huge result. I'm not sure that turning this into a gigantic array is helpful because it's such a large json data structure with many keys. However, in general you can determine what is going to happen based on whether the json has an array structure ie [ ] or a property "somename": "some_value" The original json has many of these properties. If something is inside a json array, then it will be turned into a numerically indexed array: $var[0], $var[1] etc. Unless you know which specific array element you need, typically you're going to foreach() loop through them. If the original json is a property then the property name is going to be turned into an array key, with the associated value stored in the array element. That value could be a nested object: { }, a single value, or an array. And in each case there is possible nesting. If you understand the basics of this, you should be able to look at the original json and figure out how it will be converted. In your case, when we var_dump($json['data']) the top level is revealed to be a giant numerically indexed array: You are foreach()ing through this array. So to get an idea of what just one looks like, it's helpful to var_dump the first one: var_dump($json['data'][0]); This shows the nested structure for each array element you'll get when you foreach through the outer structure: array(41) { ["id"]=> int(6251309) ["should_show_read_more"]=> bool(true) ["ad_set_code"]=> NULL ["slug_uri"]=> string(33) "/events/6251309-2019-giro-ditalia" ["title"]=> string(18) "2019 Giro d'Italia" ["short_title"]=> string(13) "Giro d'Italia" ["seo_description"]=> string(122) "Tune in to FloBikes for complete editorial coverage and to watch every stage of the 2019 Giro d'Italia live and on demand!"

PHP has a helpful array_keys() function for this. Also, print_r has a slightly different output format from var_dump that omits the variable types. Just to get some clarity, I ran this: $json = json_decode($jsondata, true); $t = array_keys($json['data'][0]); sort($t); print_r($t); And got this output: Array ( [0] => ad_set_code [1] => asset [2] => author [3] => city [4] => country [5] => created_at [6] => description [7] => enable_interstitial_ad [8] => enable_pre_roll_ads [9] => end_date [10] => has_schedule [11] => id [12] => info_tab_label [13] => live_event [14] => live_updates_tab_label [15] => logo [16] => modified_at [17] => node [18] => participant_tab_label [19] => premium [20] => preview_text [21] => publish_end_date [22] => publish_start_date [23] => region [24] => replay_preview_vod [25] => replay_video_count [26] => schedule_tab_label [27] => seo_description [28] => shareable_link [29] => short_title [30] => should_show_read_more [31] => slug [32] => slug_uri [33] => start_date [34] => status [35] => status_color [36] => status_text [37] => title [38] => type [39] => venue [40] => watchable ) You had determined previously that the 2 top level elements you were interested in were 'title' and 'live_event'. 'title' is a single value, however live_event is another nested structure. To figure out what that looks like: var_dump($json['data'][0]['live_event']); And you get: array(33) { ["event_ids"]=> array(1) { [0]=> int(6251309) } ["start_at"]=> string(20) "2019-05-22T11:05:00Z" ["end_at"]=> string(20) "2019-06-03T03:59:59Z" ["id"]=> int(8778) ["title"]=> string(18) "2019 Giro d'Italia" ["short_title"]=> string(13) "Giro D'Italia" ["stream1"]=> string(26) "cyp8778_2019_giro_d_italia" ["stream2"]=> string(26) "cyp8778_2019_giro_d_italia" ["stream_list"]=> array(2) { [0]=> array(7) { ["stream_id"]=> int(18633) ["stream_name"]=> string(18) "2019 Giro d'Italia" ["stream_code"]=> string(26) "cyp8778_2019_giro_d_italia" ["stream_active"]=> bool(true) ["stream_hls"]=> string(68) "http://flocasts-hls.videocdn.scaleengine.net/flocasts-florigins/play" ["stream_type"]=> string(8) "multiple" ["stream_mode"]=> string(6) "normal" } [1]=> array(7) { ["stream_id"]=> int(25651) ["stream_name"]=> string(13) "Giro d'Italia" ["stream_code"]=> string(21) "cyp8778_giro_d_italia" ["stream_active"]=> bool(false) ["stream_hls"]=> string(68) "http://flocasts-hls.videocdn.scaleengine.net/flocasts-florigins/play" ["stream_type"]=> string(8) "multiple" ["stream_mode"]=> string(6) "normal" } } ["slug"]=> string(18) "2019-giro-d-italia" ["description"]=> string(79) "<p> <span style="background-color: initial;">2019 Giro d'Italia</span> </p>" ["premium"]=> bool(true) ["ppv"]=> bool(false) ["disable_bumping"]=> bool(false) ["disable_login"]=> bool(false) ["enable_ott"]=> bool(true) ["status"]=> string(4) "LIVE" ["status_message"]=> NULL ["type"]=> string(6) "STREAM" ["start_date"]=> string(10) "2019-05-22" ["end_date"]=> string(10) "2019-06-02" ["start_time"]=> string(8) "07:05:00" ["end_time"]=> string(8) "23:59:59" ["timezone"]=> string(16) "America/New_York" ["start_date_time"]=> string(24) "2019-05-22T11:05:00+0000" ["end_date_time"]=> string(24) "2019-06-03T03:59:59+0000" ["start_at_next"]=> string(24) "2019-05-22T11:05:00+0000" ["background_url"]=> NULL ["live_event_url"]=> string(34) "https://www.flobikes.com/live/8778" ["player_version"]=> string(3) "3.0" ["dvr"]=> bool(false) ["created_at"]=> string(24) "2019-05-22T12:04:56+0000" ["modified_at"]=> string(24) "2019-05-22T12:04:56+0000" } So finally we can see, that 'stream_list' is the key for an array of streams. Being that this is a numerically indexed array of 1..n items, you need to do a nested foreach() to iterate through the internal array elements. You've stated that you are only interested in the 'stream_id' element. So hopefully at this point, you can understand that you have an outer foreach() through the data elements, and then the requirement to do an inner foreach to get the individual stream_id elements from stream_list. <?php $jsondata = file_get_contents("https://kalebdf.com/flo/api.php?url=events%2Fnow-and-upcoming%3Flimit%3D70%26tz%3DAmerica%2FNew_York%26live_only%3D1%26site_id%3D1%252C2%252C3%252C4%252C5%252C6%252C7%252C8%252C9%252C10%252C11%252C12%252C13%252C14%252C15%252C16%252C17%252C18%252C19%252C20%252C21%252C22%252C23%252C24%252C25%252C26%252C27%252C28%252C29%252C30%252C31%252C32%252C33%252C34%252C35%252C36%252C37%252C38%252C39%252C41%252C43"); $json = json_decode($jsondata, true); foreach($json['data'] as $data) { echo "Title: {$data['title']}\n"; echo "Event Time: {$data['live_event']['start_time']}\n"; echo "Streams:\n"; foreach($data['live_event']['stream_list'] as $i => $stream) { $i++; echo " $i. {$stream['stream_id']}\n"; } echo "\n"; } Output: Title: 2019 Giro d'Italia Event Time: 07:05:00 Streams: 1. 18633 2. 25651 Title: 2019 Japan vs United States | Women's VNL Event Time: 08:45:00 Streams: 1. 24691 Title: 2019 Serbia vs Korea | Women's VNL Event Time: 09:45:00 Streams: 1. 24692 Title: 2019 Thailand vs Italy | Women's VNL Event Time: 10:15:00 Streams: 1. 24695 Title: 2019 Brose Bamberg vs Rasta Vechta | easyCredit BBL Event Time: 12:00:00 Streams: 1. 25885 Title: 2019 Bulgaria vs Belgium | Women's VNL Event Time: 12:15:00 Streams: 1. 24697 Title: 2019 Netherlands vs Turkey | Women's VNL Event Time: 12:45:00 Streams: 1. 24698 Title: 2019 Poland vs Germany | Women's VNL Event Time: 13:15:00 Streams: 1. 24699 Title: 2019 Kirolbet Baskonia vs Divinas Seguros Joventut | 2018-19 La Liga BB Event Time: 13:30:00 Streams: 1. 24555 Title: Here's The Deal Event Time: 14:30:00 Streams: 1. 17181 Title: 2019 China vs Russia | Women's VNL Event Time: 14:45:00 Streams: 1. 24700 Title: 2019 TSSAA Outdoor Championships Event Time: 17:00:00 Streams: 1. 23950 Title: Going Brooklyn: In Studio With Bowling's Big Names Event Time: 16:00:00 Streams: 1. 19566 Title: 2019 USAC Sprints at Terre Haute Action Track Event Time: 17:30:00 Streams: 1. 20891 2. 21547 3. 21850 Title: 2019 Brazil vs Dominican Republic | Women's VNL Event Time: 17:45:00 Streams: 1. 24701 Title: 2019 D.C.
