Get all items from the loop and show json

April 21, 2023

I’m using Laravel and PHP and am double looping though a list of id’s to get a list of products by id’s have have been mapped in the first loop.

Because i’m returning the response, it’s only returning the first results the list.

How can I return all the items in the list as json so I can output this from my api?

            //Loop through and make additional calls to get all storage
            foreach ($ids as $id) {
                // Make additional API calls based on the $id
                $data = Http::get($url.'/'.$id);
                if($data->successful()) {
                   return response()->json(json_decode($data)); 
                }
            }

>Solution :

You can do:

//Loop through and make additional calls to get all storage
$results = [];

foreach ($ids as $id) {
   // Make additional API calls based on the $id
   $data = Http::get($url.'/'.$id);
   if($data->successful()) {
        $results[] = json_decode($data); 
   }
}

return response()->json($results);
