从谷歌的非官方词典API获取数据

I'm trying to get the synonyms of a word from Google's unofficial dictionary API, but I can't figure out how to select the data I want. This is the URL I'm using:

$url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/scribe/v1/research?key=AIzaSyDqVYORLCUXxSv7zneerIgC2UYMnxvPeqQ&dataset=dictionary&dictionaryLanguage=en&query=hello'

Then I do this:

$data = file_get_contents($url);
echo $data;

Everything is returned correctly, but as a string, so I can't figure out how to isolate the synonyms. I've tried simplexml_load_file($url); but I can't get anything to echo/print from that.

This is the code you want:

 <?php
function object_to_array($data)
{
    if (is_array($data) || is_object($data))
    {
        $result = array();
        foreach ($data as $key => $value)
        {
            $result[$key] = object_to_array($value);
        }
        return $result;
    }
    return $data;
}

function getSynonims($word)
{
    $url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/scribe/v1/research?key=AIzaSyDqVYORLCUXxSv7zneerIgC2UYMnxvPeqQ&dataset=dictionary&dictionaryLanguage=en&query='.$word;
    $ret = null;
    $data = file_get_contents($url);
    $data = object_to_array(json_decode($data));
    if (isset($data['data'][0]['dictionary']['definitionData']['0']['meanings'][0]['synonyms']))
        $synonyms = $data['data'][0]['dictionary']['definitionData']['0']['meanings'][0]['synonyms'];
    foreach ($synonyms as $key => $synonym) {
        $ret[$key] = $synonym['nym'];
    }
    return $ret;
}

example:

$word = 'house';
print_r(getSynonims($word));

OUTPUT

Array
(
    [0] => residence
    [1] => home
    [2] => place of residence
)

useful:

• object_to_array
• json_decode

It's JSON, so parse it like:

$data = json_decode($url);

See PHP docs on json_decode.

Additionally, you can use this super helpful tool jsonlint.com to check if that string will parse to proper JSON.
