I think I'm missing a basic concept of this api. How to get the items out of this call?

I’m trying to get the catalog objects out of these calls.

I’ve tried things like $response->getItems() and $response->getObjects() which don’t work because those methods don’t exist in this version. So, how do I get the goods from the response?

            $response = $this->client->catalog->list(
                new ListCatalogRequest([
                    'types' => 'CATEGORY',
                ]),
            );
            $response2 = $this->client->catalog->list(
                new ListCatalogRequest([]),
            );

To access the catalog objects from the response, you can use the getObjects() method on the response object. Here’s how you can do it:

$categories = $response->getResult()->getObjects();
$allObjects = $response2->getResult()->getObjects();

In this code, $categories and $allObjects will be arrays containing the catalog objects returned by the API calls. Each element in these arrays will be an instance of CatalogObject.

I couldn’t get that to work so I did this.


      $response = $this->client->catalog->list(
                new ListCatalogRequest([
                    'types' => 'CATEGORY',
                ]),
            );
            foreach ($pager as $response) {
                $data = json_decode(json_encode($response));
                if ($data->type == 'CATEGORY') {
                    array_push($categories, $data->category_data);
                }
            }
