simplexml_load_file 403 Forbidden - php

Warning: simplexml_load_file(http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/b3a5BgqObEY): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden
is the error that I get with the youtube feed in my site. I was told it was because a YouTube video was removed, but I don't know enough about PHP to fix this error. Can someone help push me in the right direction? When I searched for this error, all that came up was xml stuff and this is all in php so that doesn't help.
$feedURL = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/'. $youtube->yt_videoId;
// read feed into SimpleXML object
$entry = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);
// parse video entry
$video = $main->parseVideoEntry($entry);
I'll keep looking, but thanks in advance if you have a good link for me to look at while I research this problem.

If you visit the url http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/b3a5BgqObEY you'll see "Private video", which is the reason you can't get the feed...
EDIT: You can use the V3 of the API to send an authentificated request; check this url to learn how to do it: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

file_get_contents Returns NULL

I am trying to fetch some data like first name, last name from LinkedIn. I am using the below code for the same. But I am getting NULL in response. I tried some solutions from SO and other websites but none of them worked.
Below is the code I am using:-
$url = 'http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(id,first-name,last-name,picture-urls::(original),headline,public-profile-url,location,industry,positions,email-address)?format=json&outh2_access_token='.$accessToken;
$user = file_get_contents($url,false);
var_dump(json_decode($user));
die();
Below is the response that I am getting.

Basically what I want is to fetch the data from LinkedIn using php, if anybody has done this before please share the solution with me.

Unable to get json from instagram: PHP failed to open stream: HTTP request failed

I'm trying to develop and Instagram application but I'm struggling to get a json inserting the access token via variable.
That's my code:
$personal = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token={$accesstoken}'));
And the error that I receive is this:
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/?access_token={$accesstoken}): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
I already tried to see if I get the variable $accesstoken from the previous form and it's all right, because if I echo-it on the page it pops up.
I tried the function preg_replace to understand if the problem were the white spaces, but nothing.
I don't want to use cURL if it is not mandatory.
What's wrong with the code (and me)?
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
As I answered to #FirstOne: yes, I already tried to put the variable (access token) manually and in this way it works.

How to do a composite search in bing search API?

I'm trying to do a composite search in bing search API using php. From this documentation i got this.
https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/Composite?Sources=%27web%2bnews%27&Query=%27XBox%27&$top=1 This gives some result which i don't know to parse and show the result. I tried `simplexml_load_file()` to parse but no use.
If i mention json format request like below i get a bad request sent error( failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request) and file_get_contents() error
https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/Composite?Sources=%27web%2bnews%27&?$format=json&Query=%27XBox%27&$top=1
How to get the result with json?
Correct query for you is: (I removed "?" before $format=json)
https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/Composite?Sources=%27web%2bnews%27&$format=json&Query=%27XBox%27&$top=1

Google Changed Keyword Tool URL?

I've been using the following code to scrape keywords from Google:
$data=file_get_contents('http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&gl=us&q='.$keyword);
However, my script has suggest started showing these errors:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&gl=us&q=money) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request in /home/username/public_html/keywords.php on line 10
I'm guessing this is being caused by Google changing the link? Does anyone know what the new link would be or what I need to change in my code?
Try this:
$url = 'http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?output=firefox&client=firefox&hl=en-US&q=';
$data=file_get_contents($url . urlencode( $keyword ) );
Hope it helps.

YouTube XML Feed Error

I've got a page on a website that's pulling my favorites feed from YouTube and embedding them into site.
The problem is it's working 80% of the time, but the other 20% of the time i'm getting errors on the page - nothing in the code is changing to cause this, so i'm wondering what might be causing this, or if there's a better way to do what i'm doing...
The Error I'm gettings is a 403 Forbidden when retrieving the XML feed... here's what it looks like (note: the line numbers won't match exactly, because i've simplified the code sample below.
The XML feed in question is here:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/umarchives/favorites
Warning: simplexml_load_file(https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/umarchives/favorites) [function.simplexml-load-file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden in /mnt/stor3-wc2-dfw1/web/content/videos.php on line 42
Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/umarchives/favorites" in /mnt/stor3-wc2-dfw1/web/content/videos.php on line 42
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /mnt/stor3-wc2-dfw1/web/content/videos.php on line 47
Here's the code i'm using:
<?php
// set feed URL
$YouTubeUsername = "umarchives";
$feedURL = "https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/".$YouTubeUsername."/favorites";
// read feed into SimpleXML object
$sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);
// iterate over entries in feed
foreach ($sxml->entry as $entry) {
// get nodes in media: namespace for media information
$media = $entry->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
$attrs = $media->group->content->attributes();
$videoURL = $attrs['url'];
$videoURL = preg_replace('/\?.*/', '', $videoURL);
$videoURL = str_replace("/v/","/embed/",$videoURL);
$videoTitle = $media->group->title;
echo "<iframe class='youtube-player' width='300' height='225' src='$videoURL'></iframe>\n";
echo "<br>\n";
}
?>
You should be validating the result of $sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL); per the Google error validation docs. Then you can print out the actual message that comes along with the 403 code, or possibly decide to retry the request. If it's a random occurrence my guess is a quota limit issue, but the actual error information will likely tell you exactly what you want to know.
MYUSERNAME is not a valid username. Add your own youtube username!
When I call your feed URL in browser (https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/wfptv/favorites) I receive this error:
Favorites of requested user are not public.
Make your feed public, and the failure should be gone.
