XBox PHP API Call - php

Question

Here is a link to the demo: http://davidwalsh.name/xbox-api
I created a php file with the following content..
<?php
// Settings
$gamertag = 'RyanFabbro';
$profileUrl = 'http://www.xboxleaders.com/api/profile/'.$gamertag.'.json';
// Get information about me
$info = file_get_contents($profileUrl);
// To JSON
$json = json_decode($info);
$user = $json->user;
?>
Here is what its supposed to look like when i load the file (except with my gamertag data)
{
"status": {
"is_valid": "yes",
"is_cheater": "no",
"tier": "gold"
},
"profile": {
"gamertag": "dwalsh83",
"gamerscore": 300,
"reputation": 20,
"gender": "male",
"motto": "Watch your head.",
"name": "David Walsh",
"location": "Madison, WI, US",
"bio": "There is, and only can be, Call of Duty.",
"url": "http:\/\/live.xbox.com\/en-US\/Profile?gamertag=dwalsh83",
"avatar_tile": "http:\/\/image.xboxlive.com\/global\/t.fffe07d1\/tile\/0\/2000b",
"avatar_small": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/dwalsh83\/avatarpic-s.png",
"avatar_large": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/dwalsh83\/avatarpic-l.png",
"avatar_body": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/dwalsh83\/avatar-body.png",
"launch_team_xbl": "no",
"launch_team_nxe": "no",
"launch_team_kin": "no"
}
}
But it is not displaying anything, what am i doing wrong?
When I go to http://www.xboxleaders.com/api/profile/ryanfabbro.json, it displays fine.
Uodate*
i tryd doing this in a php file
<?php
// Settings
$gamertag = 'RyanFabbro';
$profileUrl = 'http://www.xboxleaders.com/api/profile/'.$gamertag.'.json';
// Get information about me
$info = file_get_contents($profileUrl);
// To JSON
$json = json_decode($info);
$user = $json->user;
$user = $json->profile;
$user = $json->data;
$profile = $json->data;
?>
<img src="<?php echo $profile->avatar_body; ?>" alt="<?php echo $profile->gamertag; ?>" class="avatar" />
this resulted in the page still being blank so when i viewed the source all it returned was
<img src="" alt="" class="avatar" />
update 2 #ae14 & 2g
i also tried (all in 1 php file)
<?php
// Settings
$gamertag = 'RyanFabbro';
$profileUrl = 'http://www.xboxleaders.com/api/profile/'.$gamertag.'.json';
// Get information about me
$info = file_get_contents($profileUrl);
// To JSON
$json = json_decode($info);
$user = $json->data;
?>
<?php echo $user->name ?>
which still resulted in a blank page, is that what you were meaning i should do? i also tried this same way with 2g suggestion to no avail

Answer 1

It looks like you need to use
$user = $json->Data
to get the user information

Answer 2

This is my PHP file :
<?php
// Settings
$gamertag = urlencode('yourgamertagwithspaceetcetc..');
$profileUrl = 'http://www.xboxleaders.com/api/profile/'.$gamertag;
// Get information about me
$info = file_get_contents($profileUrl);
echo $info;
// To JSON
$json = json_decode($info);
$user = $json->Data;
echo $user->Gamertag;
?>
I've to use urlEncode beacause my gamertag had a spaces inside. I suggest you to test the final url on the browser before start the php file.
For test use $user->Gamertag because Name's property it's always blank.. I don't know why.
This is JSON Data returned from the service
"Data": {
"Tier": "gold",
"IsValid": 1,
"IsCheater": 0,
"IsOnline": 0,
"OnlineStatus": "Last seen 11\/10\/2012 playing Modern Warfare® 3",
"XBLLaunchTeam": 0,
"NXELaunchTeam": 0,
"KinectLaunchTeam": 0,
"AvatarTile": "https:\/\/avatar-ssl.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/xxxxxxxx\/avatarpic-l.png",
"AvatarSmall": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/xxxxxx\/avatarpic-s.png",
"AvatarLarge": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/xxxxxx\/avatarpic-l.png",
"AvatarBody": "http:\/\/avatar.xboxlive.com\/avatar\/xxxxxxx\/avatar-body.png",
"Gamertag": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"GamerScore": 4165,
"Reputation": 20,
"Name": "",
"Motto": "",
"Location": "",
"Bio": ""
},
"Stat": "ok",
"In": 2.273,
"Authed": "false",
"AuthedAs": null
You can access using the same method for the Gamertag... simpy call
$user->AvatarSmall
I don't had php installed on my machine so first I've downloaded the PHP 5.4.8 for Windows and I've used the Built-in web server of this release Here more info.
Hope can help you
