Get json via laravel command - Failed to open stream

Question

I am writing a laravel command to read in reddit comments. I am running Laravel Framework version 5.2.45. My handle method looks like the following:

<?php

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class reddit extends Command
{
    /**...**/
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $str = json_decode(file_get_contents('www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json'));
        foreach ($str as $comments) {
            // dd($comments);
            foreach ($comments->data->children as $comment) {
                if ($comment->body_html == 'You') {
                    print_r($comment);
                } else {
                    print_r($comment);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

When executing the command I get the following error message:

[ErrorException]
file_get_contents(www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

I appreciate your replies!

UPDATE Using the following URL reddit.com/r/all/comments.json I get:

 [ErrorException]

What happens when you've replace the url to [reddit.com/r/all/comments.json] (with https:// as a prefix) — Marylyn Lajato

Try this, worked for me: There is 307 Internal Redirect on http://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json

Try this:

  print_r(file_get_contents("https://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json"));

Any suggestions for a potential reason why http or no-http does not work?

If is not working because when you hit this url http://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json it redirects it to https://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json, so that why it is saying not content found for http://www.reddit.com/r/all/comments.json
