Question

I have API url looks like this: https://api.domain.demo/v1.1/employees/1?api_token=123456

when I click on it I got the following data:

{"id":1,"name":"Anna"}

How to display and format the response data in PHP page using GET method?

you have to use json_decode(the url)

json_decode() is what you are looking.

$link = "your url"

$data = json_decode($link,true);

after decoding the json, you will get a array with the elements in the json

print_r($data)

It worked this way:

<?php
        $url = "https://api...";
        $data = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);
        echo "id: ", $data['id'];
        echo '<br>';
        echo "Name: ", $data['name'];
        echo '<br>';
        echo "Logo: ", '<img src="', $data['logo'], ' " height="30" width="30">';
?>
