Twitch API and PHP(View Streamer Data)

Question

I'm trying to find the best way to pull data about users down to display on my site. In the long run, the usernames will be coming from a MYSQL database, but for now I just created a small array. For testing purposes, I would love for it to spit out (username from array) and viewer count. But I'm having no luck.

Here is my code below, the code below I was just trying to output anything from the two usernames, but it was coming up empty.

<?php
$streamstats = array();
$username = array("streamerhouse", "cohhcarnage");

foreach($username as $stream) {
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.justin.tv/api/stream/list.json?channel=' . $stream)); 
$streamstats[] = $stream;
$print_r($streamstats);
}
?>

Which I get nothing. Any advice?

Answer 1

You have 2 errors. First you have $ before print_r. Second one is that you print it in a foreach loop, but you should print everything after the loop. Give a shot code below:

$streamstats = array();
$username = array("streamerhouse", "cohhcarnage");

foreach($username as $stream) {
   $data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://api.justin.tv/api/stream/list.json?channel=' . $stream)); 
   $streamstats[] = $data;
}
print_r($streamstats);
