I have a file with the return of a curl statement in it, in the form of json. Each object has a set of values, but the parameters for these values are all called the same names. See code below.
These objects are part of a larger object called workflow. The Cleaning up object is the last process that runs in our workflow. For every video that passes through the workflow, a json file in this format is created. (There are more than only these three objects, this is just for illustrative purposes)
I want to take the value of completed of the object with "description": "Cleaning up" and store it as a variable $end_time. Then I want to take the value of completed of the object with "description": "Ingest" and store it as a variable $start_time. These two values are then subtracted to give me an integer time in milliseconds so I can calculate the time it took for the video to go through this part of the process. With the maths part I am fine, and know how to do it. It is the extraction of the values that I am struggling with.
I hope this makes sense? ANY help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Had to delete original code in post, due to character limitations
Here is a proper example of the file that I have to work with:
