How can I get the email address from the following JSON feed?

Question

How can I get the email address from the feed provided by HubSpot below:

{
  "contacts": [
    {

      ]
    }
  ],
  "has-more": true,

}

I am able to get the other fields such as first name and last name using the snipped below (I am using WordPress, so the exact code is replicated using: wp_remote_get($url, $args) ) and inside the foreach I have the following code:

foreach($y->contacts as $z) {
   echo "First Name: " . $z->properties->firstname->value . '<br>';
   echo "Last Name: " . $z->properties->lastname->value . '<br>'; 
}

Hi you can do it this way using json_decode with true as second parameter to return a associative array:

php:

<?php
$str = '{
  "contacts": [
    {
      "addedAt": 1390574181854,
      "vid": 204727,

Answer 2

Thank you everybody for shedding some light, I eventually managed to get to the answer and here is my rough attempt (it's based on WordPress's $response = wp_remote_get( $url, $args ); ):

if( !is_wp_error( $response ) ) {

    $response_body = json_decode($response['body']);    
    $decoded_response_body = json_decode( json_encode($response_body) );

    if( isset($decoded_response_body->contacts) ) {

        foreach( $decoded_response_body->contacts as $contact) {

            // get user details
            $fist_name = $contact->properties->firstname->value;
            $last_name = $contact->properties->lastname->value;

            $identities = $contact->{'identity-profiles'}[0]->identities;
            foreach ( $identities as $key => $value ){
                if ( strtolower($value->type) === 'email' ){
                    $contact_email = $value->value;
                }
            }

        }   

    }

}
