Get only json from bitbucket api response

Question

This is my code:

$curl1 = curl_init();   
$url = "https://bitbucket.org/api/2.0/repositories/webesian/jobmarkt/pullrequests/";
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC ); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "***:***");
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); 
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$output = curl_exec($curl1);

My problem is that the output variable is not json only. There's some other crap inside. How can i extract only the json from the response?

Answer 1

You have CURLOPT_HEADER set to true, so it will output the header info as part of the response. Removing that or setting it to false should solve the problem
