I’m currently wrestling with GA4’s Google Analytics Data API v1 to fetch some json data. It’s a bit quirky though, the response I’m getting back isn’t pure json data. Instead it’s a pair of empty braces {} when I print it using PHP. Funny thing is, with predefined methods we can pick off the values. So I’m scratching my head a bit, wondering if… Read more

Sure, let me break it down for you. The function you’ve written is checking if the word ‘stellar’ is in your webpage’s code, right?
