Cannot parse results from wp_remote_get

I can’t’ seem to figure it out, shouldn’t using json_encode allow me
to treat the response as a json object?

It does allow you to treat it as a JSON object, but that’s useless in PHP. You want the result to be turned from JSON into a PHP array.

The required steps are:

1. Make the remote GET request.
2. Confirm that the request was successful.
3. Get the body of the response and decode the JSON into a PHP array.

That would look like this:

$request = wp_remote_get( 
    'https://blah/api/data/', 
    [
        'headers' => [
            'Authorization' => 'Token ' . $my_token,
        ],
    ]
);

if ( ! is_wp_error( $request ) ) {
    $body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $request );
    $data = json_decode( $body );

    foreach ( $data as $datapoint ) {
        echo $datapoint->name;
        echo $datapoint->email;
        // etc.
    }
}
