Put API data into a table using php - php

Question

I am using the insert PHP plugin for wordpress to get API data into my pages.
so I would replace "" on the last line with "[/insert_php]".
my code
[insert_php]
$url = 'https://www.eobot.com/api.aspx?idspeed=285967&json=true';
$args = array (
'method' => 'GET'
);
$response = wp_remote_request($url, $args);
$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
print_r($body);
[/insert_php]
returns
MiningSHA-256:0.00000000;MiningScrypt:0.00000000;CloudSHA-256:12.72592330;Cloud2SHA-256:0.01894240;CloudScrypt:0.00000000;
I have searched, and maybe I am not using the correct terms, and cannot find my solution or answer. I feel like it should be a lot easier than it is. I feel I should be able to take the array from the body and give each its own variable then use the variables to build a table with PHP. Where am I going wrong? Should I first store this in a php file on my server then create a table, then use the insert php function to build the table that way?

Answer 1

I have tried your code and its working fine for me in local mechine i think you just need to put json_decode for get proper format.
[insert_php]
$url = 'https://www.eobot.com/api.aspx?idspeed=285967&json=true';
$args = array (
'method' => 'GET'
);
$response = wp_remote_request($url, $args);
$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
print_r($body);
echo "<pre>";
$data = json_decode($body);
print_r($data);
[/insert_php]
Getting this type of output.
stdClass Object
(
[MiningSHA-256] => 0.00000000
[MiningScrypt] => 0.00000000
[CloudSHA-256] => 12.72656020
[Cloud2SHA-256] => 0.01894240
[CloudScrypt] => 0.00000000
)
Please try above code and let me know.

I've checked the code and it is doing what you programmed it do. Please check you're using correct API URL and once you're using the correct API URL use json_decode function to decode json data returned API and add once you've correct data converted into array, you can create table.
For example:
<?php
$body = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
$table_data = json_decode($body);
$html = array();
if(!empty($table_data)){
$html[] = '<table>';
foreach($table_data as $rows){
$html[] = '<tr>';
foreach($row as $column){
$html[] = '<td>'. $column . '</td>';
}
$html[] = '</tr>';
}
$html ='</table>';
}
$html = implode("\n", $html);
echo $html;
?>
PS: This code is only an example, please adjust it your data.
