Get data from accuweather api url

I am trying to get json data from the accuweather API for a locationKey in PHP. The output is as: file_get_contents(https://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/1day/55488?apikey=0NSY9T1tFGo0NIXOYp23lro8DsuOcwPJ): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

<?php
$url = "https://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/1day/55488?apikey=0NSY9T1tFGo0NIXOYp23lro8DsuOcwPJ";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json,true);
print_r($data);
?>

allow_url_fopen is enabled.

what do i do?

Edit: I changed the code as follows and it did not work

function weather(){
    $url='http://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/5day/55488?apikey=0NSY9T1tFGo0NIXOYp23lro8DsuOcwPJ';
    $curl = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    $res=(object)array(
        'response'  =>  curl_exec( $curl ),
        'status'    =>  curl_getinfo( $curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE ),
        'info'      =>  (object)curl_getinfo( $curl ),
        'errors'    =>  curl_error( $curl )
    );
    curl_close($curl);

    echo 'response:'.$res->response;
    echo '<br>';
    echo 'status:'.$res->status;
    echo '<br>';
    echo 'errors:'.$res->errors;

}

Result is blank page with the following characteristics:

response:  
status:0  
errors:Empty reply from server

The Fetch api seems like the easiest solution as the endpoint does have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header present - a simple example below to illustrate the basics.

const url='https://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/1day/55488?apikey=0NSY9T1tFGo0NIXOYp23lro8DsuOcwPJ';


fetch( url )
  .then( r=>r.json() )
  .then( json=>{
    const out=document.querySelector('output');
    
    Object.keys( json ).forEach( k=>{
      let div=document.createElement('div');
          out.append( div );
      let h1=document.createElement('h1');
          h1.textContent=k;
          div.append(h1);
          
      // etc
    });
    
    json.DailyForecasts.forEach( obj=>{
      console.info( obj )
    })
    
  })

In PHP you can use curl to easily fetch the response from the AccuWeather API. The following curl function has a cacert variable which points t oa valid cacert.pem file - this is usually needed when negotiating SSL connections as here.

<?php
            
    function curl( $url=false ){
        $cacert='c:/wwwroot/cacert.pem';
        
        $curl=curl_init();
        if( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_SCHEME )=='https' ){
            curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true );
            curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2 );
            curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, $cacert );
        }

        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_URL, trim( $url ) );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60 );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64)' );
        curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '' );

        $res=(object)array(
            'response'  =>  curl_exec( $curl ),
            'status'    =>  curl_getinfo( $curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE ),
            'info'      =>  (object)curl_getinfo( $curl ),
            'errors'    =>  curl_error( $curl )
        );
        curl_close( $curl );
        return $res;
    }
    
    
    $url='https://dataservice.accuweather.com/forecasts/v1/daily/1day/55488?apikey=0NSY9T1tFGo0NIXOYp23lro8DsuOcwPJ';
    $res=curl( $url );
    if( $res->status==200 ){
        printf('<pre>%s</pre>',print_r( json_decode( $res->response ),true ) );
    }
    
?>

And this yields:
