How can I retrieve objects from a JSON API which cointains spaces?

I'm using JS in order to obtain the currency from a JSON API, but its objects contains spaces and I cannot access them.

{ "Realtime Currency Exchange Rate": { "1. From_Currency Code": "brl", "2. From_Currency Name": null, "3. To_Currency Code": "ils", "4. To_Currency Name": null, "5. Exchange Rate": "0.95077386", "6. Last Refreshed": "2018-08-14 12:25:28", "7. Time Zone": "UTC" } }

This is how I'm trying to get the objects:

printStock(stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["1. From_Currency Code"], stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["3. To_Currency Code"], stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["5. Exchange Rate"]);

Hmm. I tried it in a repl.it and was able to access it just the way you have here.

let stock = { "Realtime Currency Exchange Rate": 
  { 
    "1. From_Currency Code": "brl", 
    "2. From_Currency Name": null, 
    "3. To_Currency Code": "ils", 
    "4. To_Currency Name": null, 
    "5. Exchange Rate": "0.95077386", 
    "6. Last Refreshed": "2018-08-14 12:25:28", 
    "7. Time Zone": "UTC" 
  } 
}

console.log(stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["1. From_Currency Code"], stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["3. To_Currency Code"], stock["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["5. Exchange Rate"]);

//logs:
// brl ils 0.95077386

The problem could be outside the scope of what you've shared here.

I was able to get it in php laravel framework, but the code can also work in php core. just change the dd to console.write() or echo or equivalent of that.

$json = json_decode($data, true);
dd($json["Realtime Currency Exchange Rate"]["1. From_Currency Code"]);
