Champion.GG Api: get data over file_get_contents cut off string - php

If I want to get the data from champion.gg over my browser, I get everything.
If I try to get it over file_get_contents, I only get the half page
after "Galio" the string is cut off.
Chrome: http://api.champion.gg/stats?api_key=PRIVATE
about 86.000 chars
file_get_contents("http://api.champion.gg/stats?api_key=PRIVATE");
about 45.000 chars

Try using cURL:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.champion.gg/stats?api_key=PRIVATE");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($data); // $data should contain the response
Increase the timeout value if you get incomplete responses.

YouTube v3 API call for search.list: proper curl setting

I am sending a call to the YouTube API using search.list (retrieve the first search result for a keyword) but I am getting nothing in return.
Here is my call:
$api_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=1&type=video&key=MYKEY&&format=json&q=SEARCHTERMS;
Note: MYKEY is my API key I got from Google (currently active) and SEARCHTERMS is any word to search.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $api_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = json_decode($response);
$value = json_decode(json_encode($data), true);
echo $value;
The URL works correctly (tested on browser) and I'm not getting any kind of error (console), but still this curl request isn't echoing any data from YouTube. Isn't it properly set?
P.s. My quota isn't exceeded.
SOLVED!
Watch out: youtube API doesn't read spaces in url (eg. in search terms), so you gotta streplace all of them with "+"

CURL Sends Requests Twice For Single Request

I am using the following code to send a CURL request to send a SMS. But the SMS is being sent twice.
$message = urlencode($message);
$smsurl = "http://$url/sendmessage.php?user=matkaon&password=$password&mobile=$mobile&message=$message&sender=$sender&type=3";
$ch = curl_init($smsurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$sentsms = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I tried commenting some of the lines which solved the issue but gives an output as below:
What is the proper method to send a CURL request only once?
Try this:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $smsurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
Don't pass the URL as argument on the init function.
I don't know why the function is being called twice, but I never pass the URL as argument and always work great this way.
You'd usually use curl_init() with no parameters, then pass the URL into curl_exec.
Modified example 1 from curl_exec docs:
<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $smsurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

Unable to use file_get_contents(), returns nothing

I'm trying to get some data from a website that is not mine, using this code.
<?
$text = file_get_contents("https://ninjacourses.com/explore/4/");
echo $text;
?>
However, nothing is being echo'd, and the string length is 0.
I've done this method before, and it has worked no problem, but with this website, it is not working at all.
Thanks!
I managed to get the contents using curl like this:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://ninjacourses.com/explore/4/");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
cURL is a way you can hit a URL from your code to get a html response from it. cURL means client URL which allows you to connect with other URLs and use their responses in your code
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://ninjacourses.com/explore/4/");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
i think this is useful for you curl-with-php and another

Accessing Actiontec modem screens via PHP

I have an Actiontec V1000H router. I want to access its "WAN Ethernet Status" page using a script (which will extract the sent and received packet counts for plotting). From a browser, this URL works fine:
http://192.168.1.1/modemstatus_wanethstatus.html
But, when I use that URL in my script, I nearly always get the main screen. (It works on rare occasions.) Here's my script:
$wanStatusUrl = "http://192.168.1.1/modemstatus_wanethstatus.html";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $wanStatusUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'admin:myPassword');
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I need help accessing the modemstatus_wanethstatus.html page. I believe the issue is due to some idiocycracy of the modem.
Use this so that curl return you the html source as response into your $output:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
The main screen has a "login" button, and adding the equivalent of that prior to accessing the WAN Status screen made it work. So, for the record:
// login
$loginUrl = 'http://192.168.1.1/login.cgi?inputUserName=admin&inputPassword=myPassword&nothankyou=1';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// get status page
$wanStatusUrl = "http://192.168.1.1/modemstatus_wanethstatus.html";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $wanStatusUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // so curl_exec returns the response
$responseText = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// print $responseText; // contains wanEthStatus_ReceivedPackets and wanEthStatus_SendPackets
// get the two packet counts ... wanEthStatus_ReceivedPackets and wanEthStatus_SendPackets
preg_match( "/wanEthStatus_ReceivedPackets.*?\'(\d+)\';.*?\'(\d+)\';.*?wanEthStatus_TimeSpan/s", $responseText, $matches );
print_r( $matches );
"Man Always Wins in the End."

PHP cURL Returning innacurate information

I'm doing a simple curl on this address: https://github.com/users/davidhariri/contributions_calendar_data
When i grab the result with this function:
function fetch_data($url){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($result);
return $result;
}
The strings are correct, but the ints (the contributions) are wrong.
Results from curl
[...["2014/01/04",0],["2014/01/05",0],["2014/01/06",0],["2014/01/07",1],["2014/01/08",0]]
Results from just navigating to the address
[...["2014/01/04",0],["2014/01/05",0],["2014/01/06",1],["2014/01/07",5],["2014/01/08",5]]
Something during the curl process might be transforming ints to binary and back again? I have no idea what's happening here.
Check that you are not logged in in the browser. You may get different results if so.
