[SOLVED] How to grab certain words ??

[salman_ahad@yahoo.com]

I am working with this API

 

Returns JSON.

curl http://letsbetrends.com/api/current_trends

 

How to grab just the trending topics Which come after "name" : "xxxxxxxx" (the x's)

 

Or how to work with curls ??

<?php
$data = file_get_contents("http://letsbetrends.com/api/current_trends");

$json_data = json_decode($data, true);

foreach($json_data as $branches)
{
    foreach($branches as $entry)
    {
        if($entry['name'] == "Halloween")
        {
            print_r($entry);
        }
    }
}
?>

 

That will only display topics created by Halloween, for example.

I think we are almost there. But we need to grab all the names as ['name']== "xxxx" (could be anything, not only Halloween)

 

How to do this ?

I got his error while running the code Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in foreach($branches as $entry)

 

There are about 10 names there which keep changing, your code is only grabbing Halloween. If I run your code after four hours I will not know which are those 10 words.

 

Please help

How to grab just the trending topics

 

 

The following example script:

<?php
$json   = file_get_contents('http://letsbetrends.com/api/current_trends');
$data   = json_decode($json);
$topics = array();

foreach ($data->trends as $trend) {
$topics[] = $trend->name;
}

print_r($topics);

 

Gives output like:

Array
(
    [0] => Halloween
    [1] => Windows 7
    [2] => Nick Griffin
    [3] => TGIF
    [4] => Paranormal Activity
    [5] => Follow Friday
    [6] => #iusuallylieabout
    [7] => Soupy Sales
    [8] => Cassetteboy
    [9] => #mylasttweetonearth
)

 

$topics is an array of the trending topics, which I think is what you wanted.
