Cron job with Json decoder issue

[dragonFire]

this is my corn job : /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/malin/public_html/youtube_api_test/cron_autosave_api_data.php


this is the function i wanna run using corn job

function getytChannelData($channel_id,$api_key)
{
                
    $data = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id='.$channel_id.'&key='.$api_key);

    return $out = json_decode($data, true );
    
}

json_decode() is not function with the corn job

Does the Cron job function normally when run over the command line or does it also have an issue when run there?

Can I know how to run Cron job over command line?


thing is if I call the file on browser, the function is working fine.

ex: "https://test.example.net/folder_name/test.php" like this

You can run the cron over the command line interface by just using the command you run in the cron:

 /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/malin/public_html/youtube_api_test/cron_autosave_api_data.php

/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/malin/public_html/youtube_api_test/cron_autosave_api_data.php

yeah, it's working, it will output "GET DATA API". but json_decode() is not working.

If there was an error with json decode on the system I would anticipate seeing an error being output when you run this. Have you run this script successfully before?

when I run the command in Terminal function will run but JSON decode() won't execute.

but if I execute file directly from the browser JSON decode() is working "https://test.example.net/folder_name/test.php"
