curl->simple_get json

I have proble using curl simple_get
when trying to get json, it always return bool(false)
when I tried the api address in browser, they works just fine

Code:

  public function test_curl()
  {

$response = (object)null;

$data = json_decode($this->curl->simple_get('any_json_api_address'));
   
    if (!empty($data))
    {
      $response->isSuccess = TRUE;
      $response->message = 'success.';
      $response->data = $data;
    }
    else
    {
      $response->isSuccess = FALSE;
      $response->message = 'failed.';
    }

    echo json_encode($response);
  }

PHP Code:

json_decode(
    string $json,
    ?bool $associative = null,
    int $depth = 512,
    int $flags = 0
): mixed 


associative

When true, JSON objects will be returned as associative arrays; when false, JSON objects will be returned as objects.
When null, JSON objects will be returned as associative arrays or objects depending on whether JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY
is set in the flags.

PHP Code:

// your missing true for the associated array flag.
$data = json_decode($this->curl->simple_get('any_json_api_address'));

// should be
$data = json_decode($this->curl->simple_get('any_json_api_address'), true);
