Example

If the respons content is a JSON response, you can use the $remote->json() method to covert the content to an array or object.

In this example, we get list of UK holidays from a freely accessible API and convert the JSON response to an array:

<?php
$response = Remote::get('https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays.json');

if ($response->code() === 200):
    $data = $response->json();

    foreach ($data as $item): ?>
        <h2><?= $item['division'] ?></h2>
        <ul>
                <?php foreach ($item['events'] as $holiday): ?>
              <li><?= $holiday['title'] . ' is on ' . $holiday['date'] ?></li>
                <?php endforeach ?>
        </ul>
    <?php endforeach ?>
<?php endif ?>

If you prefer to work with an object instead of an array, set the $array parameter to false. Here we get a list of historical US newspapers:

<?php
$response = Remote::get('https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/newspapers.json');

if ($response->code() === 200):
    $data = $response->json(false); ?>

    <ul>
        <?php foreach ($data->newspapers as $newspaper): ?>
        <li><?= $newspaper->title ?></li>
        <?php endforeach ?>
    </ul>

<?php endif ?>
