Coinmarketcap API Call with PHP - php

Question

I tried my first API call but something is still wrong. I added my API-Key, choose the symbol and tried to echo the price. But it is still not valid. But my echo is still 0. Maybe someone show me what i did wrong. Thank you!
<?php
$coinfeed_coingecko_json = file_get_contents('https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest?symbol=ETH');
$parameters = [
'start' => '1',
'limit' => '2000',
'convert' => 'USD'
];
$headers = [
'Accepts: application/json',
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY: XXX'
];
$qs = http_build_query($parameters); // query string encode the parameters
$request = "{$url}?{$qs}"; // create the request URL
$curl = curl_init(); // Get cURL resource
// Set cURL options
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $request, // set the request URL
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers, // set the headers
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1 // ask for raw response instead of bool
));
$response = curl_exec($curl); // Send the request, save the response
print_r(json_decode($response)); // print json decoded response
curl_close($curl); // Close request
$coinfeed_json = json_decode($coinfeed_coingecko_json, false);
$coinfeedprice_current_price = $coinfeed_json->data->{'1'}->quote->USD->price;
?>
<?php echo $coinfeedde = number_format($coinfeedprice_current_price, 2, '.', ''); ?>

There is a lot going on in your code.
First of all $url was not defined
Second of all you made two requests, one of which I have removed
Third; you can access the json object by $json->data[0]->quote->USD->price
Fourth; I removed the invalid request params
I have changed a few things to make it work:
$url = "https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/listings/latest";
$headers = [
'Accepts: application/json',
'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY: ___YOUR_API_KEY_HERE___'
];
$request = "{$url}"; // create the request URL
$curl = curl_init(); // Get cURL resource
// Set cURL options
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => $request, // set the request URL
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers, // set the headers
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1 // ask for raw response instead of bool
));
$response = curl_exec($curl); // Send the request, save the response
$json = json_decode($response);
curl_close($curl); // Close request
var_dump($json->data[0]->quote->USD->price);
var_dump($json->data[1]->quote->USD->price);
