How can I fetch this data?
Here is my code:
<?php
$url = "http://api.bf4stats.com/api/playerInfo?plat=pc&name=HeLLTiMe";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
?>

Answer 1

to get the name you should do this:
echo $data->player->name;
You need this because you have a stdClass Object
You can also change the out to just a array, you have to change this:
$data = json_decode($json);
to this:
$data = json_decode($json, true);
When you make this chagne you can get the value by this:
echo $data['player']['name'];
Edit
Below you can see the example, this works for me with no error.
$url = "http://api.bf4stats.com/api/playerInfo?plat=pc&name=HeLLTiMe";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
echo 'Using stdClass Object option<br>';
$data = json_decode($json);
echo $data->player->name;
echo '<br><br>Using Array option<br>';
$data = json_decode($json, true);
echo $data['player']['name'];
exit;

Answer 2

$result = array();
$result['name'] = $data->Player->name
var_dump($result);

Answer 3

Not sure what do you mean by fetch the data as already fetched it but if you ask how to access the fields you can do it like this.
print_r($data->player->name);
