In PHP it is possible to write to properties without declaring them. For example, the following is perfectly valid PHP code:
class MyClass { } $x = new MyClass(); $x->foo = true;
Generally, it is a good practice to explictly declare properties to avoid accidental typos and provide IDE auto-completion:
class MyClass { public $foo; } $x = new MyClass(); $x->foo = true;
* Get the whole response from a get operation
* @return array
private function getResponse()
return json_decode($this->response->getBody(), true);
* Get the data response from a get operation
private function getData()
return $this->getResponse()['results']['lists'][0]['books'];
* Return all the data to the New York times API dashboard
public function getPage()
$data = $this->getData();
return view('api.nyt')->withData($data);
