Getting JSON data - php

Question

Im working with an api which stores data into a JSON file. This data is gathered from a form that the users fill in my website. The way its inserted goes as follow:
$pers_payload = array(
'gender' => 'Unknown', //or Male / Female
'first_name' => $_POST['billing_first_name'],
'family_name' => $_POST ['billing_last_name'],
'email' => $_POST['billing_email'],
'linked_as_contact_to_organization' => array(
array(
'organization_id' => $organization_id, // add the person as a contact to the newly created organization
'work_email' => $_POST['billing_email'],
'work_phone' => $_POST['billing_phone']
)
),
'visiting_address' => array(
'country_code' => 'NL'
), // can be extented with other address data
'postal_address' => array(
'country_code' => $_POST['billing_country']
) // can be extented with other address data
);
And then:
$person = $SimplicateApi->makeApiCall('POST','/crm/person',json_encode($pers_payload));
Now instead of post i want to get the data. I tried getting data like this:
$SimplicateApi->makeApiCall('GET','/crm/organization?q[name]=*my name*');
I dont know if this is the right way, well it didn't work so obviously its not.
Anyways what im trying to achieve is with PHP i want to gather the name value of an existing person. this data is stored in /api/v2/crm/person.json
Api documentation (which i read but didn't understand to well) http://api.simplicate.nl/

It's been a while but i'm trying to answer all my open questions without an answer which i ended up solving on my own.
So for this.
You have to create a variable which makes the get request like this:
$test = $SimplicateApi->makeApiCall('GET','/crm/organization?q[name]=My name');
Now you can for example do a var_dump($test);
And as output you will get all the data inside
/crm/organization?q[name]=My name
