API help

[timmah1]

I'm trying to show information from an API with PHP.

I can get the info, but how do I break the results down for display purposes?

$json_url = "http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crewapi/crew_name/hierarchy/100/false";
$json = file_get_contents($json_url);
$json=str_replace('},
 
]',"}
 
]",$json);
$data = json_decode($json);
 
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";

 

All the data is shown like this

stdClass Object

(

[data] => stdClass Object

(

[hierarchy] => stdClass Object

(

[Data] => stdClass Object

(

[Total] => 35

[CrewId] => 0159

[CrewName] => Crew Name

[CrewTag] => Dead

[CrewColor] => #03f2ff

[IsLeader] =>

[MyRank] => -1

[Ranks] => Array

(

[0] => stdClass Object

(

[RankName] => leader

[RankNamePlural] => leader

[Description] => The Crew founder and head honcho. Their power is absolute.

[RankOrder] => 0

[RankMemberCount] => 1

[SystemFlags] => 9223372036854775807

[Permissions] => Array

(

[0] => Kick members

[1] => Invite new members

[2] => Promote members

[3] => Demote members

[4] => Manage role permissions

[5] => Publish multiple emblems

[6] => Write on wall

[7] => Delete emblems and wall posts

[8] => Edit settings

[9] => View settings page

[10] => Post in-game messages

[11] => Update status

)

You just call the properties like any other PHP object.

 

echo $data->Total;
echo $data->CrewId;

If you pass true as the second argument to json_decode(), you will get an associative array instead.

$data = json_decode($json, true);

echo $data['Total'];
echo $data['CrewId'];

Thank you.

But neither is showing up, I get a blank page

Try using

$data->data->hierarchy->Data->Total

$data->data->hierarchy->Data->CrewId

 

etc

Sorry to bring this topic back up, but I'm stuck once again

 

To loop through members

 

I have this

but it's obviously not right because I keep getting invalid argument 

Plus, it's only showing 1 for the crew members,

$i = 0;
$crew_comm = $data->data->hierarchy->Data->Ranks[1]->Members[$i]->Name;
 
foreach($crew_comm as $result){
$i++;
    echo($result->Name);
}

1. The "rank" that you're using does not have any "members".

2. You're looping over a scalar in foreach(), not an array. Your foreach() should look like this (notice I changed the "ranks" index to 0, as that is the only one that has members in the data URL you provided):

foreach ($data->data->hierarchy->Data->Ranks[0]->Members as $member) {
    echo $member->Name;
    echo '<br />';
}

3. There is only one "member" for the 0th "rank" index. But, there are many ranks, and it looks like each one may have a member, so you might want to adjust your logic to get those as well. Edited July 5, 2015 by scootstah
