Answer 1

The JSON is incomplete so my answer can only be to the snippet that you posted.

The syntax to reach the title field should be –

data.items[0].title

Note that I put items[0] because items is an array – notated with the square brakets [ ]. But the first element of that array seems to be an object – so we can continue with dot notation to reach the title property.

Convert it into a PHP array using json_decode($str,true) and take a look at the contents – that should be easier to get at.
