CURL with port and additional parameters in URL, JSON parsing

I have a URL in the form of http://www.domain.com:10001/api/Data.cgi?Scope=System

On that URL is a JSON dump which I need to parse. How do I access it? I've used get_file_contents before which is why I am struggling with this - first occasion to have a port on the URL. It would be best if I could grab the JSON and put it in a file.txt and then parse the file.

<?php
$cURL = curl_init('http://81.1.1.1'); 
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_PORT, 10001); 
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 

$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($cURL);
curl_close($cURL);
fclose($fp);
?>

I'm not sure how to properly add the remainder of the URL.

If you don't need to use curl, it may be easier with file_get_contents.

// Retrieve file
$data = file_get_contents("http://81.1.1.1:10001/page_url.json?query_parameters=values");

// Echo retrieved file
echo $data;

// Decode JSON
$decoded = json_decode($data);

// Dump decoded data
var_dump($decoded);

Try this:

    function curl($url) {

            $options = Array(
                CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE, 
                CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => TRUE,  
                CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => TRUE

, 
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120,  
            CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, 
            CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1a2pre) Gecko/2008073000 Shredder/3.0a2pre ThunderBrowse/3.2.1.8",  
            CURLOPT_URL => $url,

        );

        $ch = curl_init();  // Initialising cURL

        curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);   

        $data = curl_exec($ch); 

        curl_close($ch);    

        return $data;   
    }

    $scraped_page = curl($link);
