get the data from an api with json and php

Question

I have data in this format from an API:

 {
 "key1": 2300,
 "key2": 152,
 "key3": 5,
 "key4": 18,
 "key5": "value",
 "players": [
 {
 "avatar": {
 "name": "name",
 "id": 73019554141,
 "key": 34361224375
 }]
 "players": [
 {
 "avatar": {
 "name": "name",
 "id": 73019554141,
 "key": 34361224375
 }]
 }

I'm using $jsondata = file_get_contents($url); //get the content from the url and $data = json_decode($jsondata, true); to retrieve the data. I can access the data using:

 $key1= $data['key1'];
 $key2= $data['key2'];

How do I get the player values?

Your JSON is not valid. Assuming the below JSON, it would be as follows:

$jsondata='{
 "key1": 2300,
 "key2": 152,
 "key3": 5,
 "key4": 18,
 "key5": "value",
 "players": [
 {
 "avatar": {
 "name": "name",
 "id": 73019554141,
 "key": 34361224375
 }
 }
 ]
}';
$data=json_decode($jsondata);
echo($data->players[0]->avatar->name.' '.$data->players[0]->avatar->id.' '.$data->players[0]->avatar->key);
