I'm trying to decode the youtube api. I don't need everything, just a few pieces, but I'm having trouble with the "items" array.
My code is very very simple.
$url = file_get_contents("THIS IS MY YOUTUBE API ENDPOINT");
$json = json_decode($url, true);
If I echo out
echo $json['kind']."<p>".$json['etag']."<p>".$json['nextPageToken']."<p>";
echo $json['pageInfo']['totalResults']."<p>".$json['pageInfo']['resultsPerPage'];
Then I would see:
- youtube#activityListResponse
- that super long etag that I don't feel like typing
- CAEQAA
- 10
- 1
But I want the information within ITEMS
If I try print_r($json['items'][0]);
Then I get ALL of the information from items as an array, spit out like this
Array ( [kind] => youtube#activity [etag] => "ZG3FIn5B5vcHjQiQ9nDOCWdxwWo/9bAEAi43B5b3tiYpW1BAPw2aZ54" [id] => VTE1MjQwOTM0MjI5NDIyNjY4MzQ2NjUxMg== [snippet] => Array ( [publishedAt] => 2018-04-18T23:17:02.000Z [channelId] => UC6TEaGms62zd11sdt_z1UAg [title] => AppyBuilder: Create a High Score Leaderboard with Wheel of Fortune [description] => TUTORIAL DIFFICULTY: Medium/Hard You should be able to follow along easily if you are able to find blocks by looking at a screenshot.

If I try foreach($json['items'][0] as $key=>$value){ echo $value; }
Then I get: Notice: Array to string conversion <-- Not what I want
What I want is something like
echo $json['items']['snippet']['title'];
(But of course, that doesn't work)
