Reading Have I Been PWNED JSON values from URL via PHP - php

Question

I am trying to read JSON values using the "Have I Been PWNED" API v2.
I have tried two different ways to display the data using the URL (https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v2/breach/Adobe) and using a local .json file, but both methods display nothing.
Method 1 (URL):
index.php
<?php
// Breach Title
$breach_title = 'Adobe';
// JSON URL
$url = 'https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v2/breach/'.$breach_title;
// Put the contents of the url into a variable
$json = file_get_contents($url);
// Decode the JSON feed
$object = json_decode($json);
// Echo Results
echo $object[0]->Title;
echo $object[0]->Name;
echo $object[0]->Domain;
echo $object[0]->Description;
echo $object[0]->BreachDate;
?>
Method 2 (Local .json file):
index.php
<?php
// Put the contents of the file into a variable
$json = file_get_contents("Adobe.json");
// Decode the JSON feed
$object = json_decode($json);
// Echo Results
echo $object[0]->Title;
echo $object[0]->Name;
echo $object[0]->Domain;
echo $object[0]->Description;
echo $object[0]->BreachDate;
?>
Adobe.json
{
"Title": "Adobe",
"Name": "Adobe",
"Domain": "adobe.com",
"BreachDate": "2013-10-04",
"AddedDate": "2013-12-04T00:00:00Z",
"ModifiedDate": "2013-12-04T00:00:00Z",
"PwnCount": 152445165,
"Description": "In October 2013, 153 million Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, <em>encrypted</em> password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and many were quickly resolved back to plain text. The unencrypted hints also disclosed much about the passwords adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe customers already faced.",
"DataClasses": [
"Email addresses",
"Password hints",
"Passwords",
"Usernames"
],
"IsVerified": true,
"IsFabricated": false,
"IsSensitive": false,
"IsActive": true,
"IsRetired": false,
"IsSpamList": false,
"LogoType": "svg"
}
I have been using the following as resources:

How do I extract data from JSON with PHP?

Also no output using this in both methods:
print_r($object);

Answer 1

With the version of Adobe.json in your question, you don't need the [0] to access the data...
$object = json_decode($json);
// Echo Results
echo $object->Title;
echo $object->Name;
echo $object->Domain;
echo $object->Description;
echo $object->BreachDate;
To get the file URL with https, it may be easier to use CURL...
// Breach Title
$breach_title = 'Adobe';
// JSON URL
$url = 'https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v2/breach/'.$breach_title;
// Put the contents of the url into a variable
//$json = file_get_contents($url);
$options = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle all encodings
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "spider", // who am i
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on connect
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on response
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, // stop after 10 redirects
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false // Disabled SSL Cert checks
);
$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
$json = curl_exec( $ch );
// Decode the JSON feed
$object = json_decode($json);
$object = json_decode($json);
// Echo Results
echo $object->Title;
echo $object->Name;
echo $object->Domain;
echo $object->Description;
echo $object->BreachDate;

Here is my corrected code after reading the HIBP APIv2 closer thanks to #MonkeyZeus
Just needed to add a user agent and removed [0].
<?php
ini_set('user_agent', 'Test App');
// Breach Title
$breach_title = 'Adobe';
// JSON URL
$url = 'https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v2/breach/'.$breach_title;
// Put the contents of the url into a variable
$json = file_get_contents($url);
// Decode the JSON feed
$object = json_decode($json);
// Echo Results
echo $object->Title;
echo $object->Name;
echo $object->Domain;
echo $object->Description;
echo $object->BreachDate;
?>
