How do I display data from an api in HTML using PHP?

Hey, so i am learning how to work with APIs and PHP just for fun.
I have a small web app using HTML, PHP and MAMP.

I have Soccer data displayed in a table on a page called "liveScores.php" with a unique ID for each game. When I click this link it opens a new page ("gameInfo.php") where i would like to delve deeper into the API for that game. However it is not working. It only works when I hardcode the ID but of course thats a waste of time as the IDs for each game changes. The id is correctly passed through my url but its just i do not know how to pull the data from it.

*UPDATE

When i click the link of the id it directs me to the new page. But no data is displayed.
Its simply an empty table with only the column names displayed.
When I run it through postman its the same.
Hardcode the ID in and i get data in both.


1. My method

===============

   public function getMatchInfo() {

    $url = $this->buildUrl('scores/events.json?
            key=Ka88B6jZrxO8dDQt&secret=L233yXpNCWQDZyxJIGSkNbjeI8nWLdqw&id='
            .$id);
    return $this->makeRequest($url);
}

2. My HTML for the GameData Screen

=================

<?php foreach ($data['data']['event'] as $_event){ ?>
                        <tr>

                            <td style="text-align: center;"><?= $_event['id'] ?></td>
                            <td style="text-align: center;"><?= $_event['player'] ?></td>

                            </tr>

                        <?php } ?>
                        <tr>

3. The API itself

========================

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "event": [
            {
                "id": "10509914",
                "match_id": "129180",
                "player": "DEENEY TROY",
                "time": "5",
                "event": "GOAL",
                "sort": "0",
                "home_away": "h"
            },
            {
                "id": "10509915",
                "match_id": "129180",
                "player": "MARIAPPA ADRIAN",
                "time": "13",
                "event": "YELLOW_CARD",
                "sort": "1",
                "home_away": "h"
            },

What I have tried:

If i hard code the id in it works fine for that particular row of data. So i presume my issue lies in the "GameInfo" screen as although the ID is there in the URL it is not able to pull the correct info.
