PHP JSON Data Request using Zoho Creator API

Using PHP Is it possible to request data from a table or view without using a post form method. For example, can I get the data similarly to this process https://api.creator.zoho.com/REST-API-View-Records-in-View.html But then store the data into a variable and then loop through the data in php. The only example given in the above URL is a Form Post. I want to execute the url and store the json data into a variable so I can then loop through the data to extract what I need and then display it.

Example External PHP page

<?php

$url = 'https://creator.zoho.com/api/json/probationer-database/view/New_Interview_Appointments_Calendar/';

$url .= '{authoken}';

$json = file_get_contents($url);

$data = json_decode($json);

$data = $data->Interview_Appointments;

for each (to extract specific data){

}
