I am trying to get the details of a venue in Foursquare using the venue ID, but there is something minor that isn't correct:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/4c599c84f346c9287ff84cca?client_id=[MY_ID]&client_secret=[MY_SECRET]&v=20120609');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$contents = curl_exec ($ch);
$result = json_decode($contents);
var_dump($result);
curl_close ($ch);
If I change the URL to something like Google News RSS, or one of my XML feed pages, I get results, to the cURL portion is right
If I paste the above URL into my browser (with my actual ID&Secret) then I get a json formatted result with the data that I expect (correct name of venue, etc). So I know the URL is correct.
If I copy the json from the above process and put it into a variable in my code, then set $result to the decode version of that variable then I see the results properly. So I know that the decode/output bit is working.
Somewhere between retrieving the result and storing it in a variable for decoding something is going wrong. I have to assume it is something silly and simple, since all of the parts are there, but I can't figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.
The answer turned out to be that I had to add the following 2 lines:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

$url = "http://www.reddit.com/r/{mysubreddit}/new.json";
$fields = "sort=new";
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($data);
{mysubreddit} is whatever subreddit I wanna check. It works fine to just grab that url via postman, or even in the browser. But when I use PHP/CURL, it returns empty. I've tried replacing the URL, with another URL to another site, and it works fine, so the curl part is working fine.
Is there something with reddit that I have to set? headers? or explicitly tell it for JSON? Or what?
I thought it might have to do with POST, but I tried GET to, still empty/null.
$url = "http://www.reddit.com/r/{mysubreddit}/new.json?sort=new";
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
That doesnt work either
You just need to add:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
As others have mentioned, reddit is sending you a 302 redirect to https. You would be able to see that by examining the headers returned by curl_getinfo().
Enabling redirect following, as sorak describes, will work. However, it's not a good solution - you will make two HTTP requests on every single API call. This is a completely unnecessary waste of network and increases the execution time of your script. Instead, just change the url that you're requesting to be from https://www.reddit.com/ in the first place.
There is a supermarket website and I need to get list of product name and price data.
The website is: http://www.sanalmarket.com.tr/kweb/sclist/30011-tum-meyveler
However, I cannot get this content with success. Every attempt finalized with a null result. I am not familiar with cURL, but it is recommended me to overcome this issue. As I see, the product list is called with Ajax - JSON and for this reason, I should follow requests to see JSON files and their contents using PHP. ...But how?
Thank you in advance.
The code I tried:
<?php
$url="https://www.sanalmarket.com.tr/kweb/sclist/30011-tum-meyveler";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump(json_decode($result, true));
?>
Your curl request did work and you are getting html response in the $result variable. The problem is that you are treating the html response string like a valid JSON string.
instead of
var_dump(json_decode($result, true));
try
var_dump($result);
Here $result is not a valid JSON string. It is a string containing the html that the server responded. So you cannot parse it directly into an array or object without using a html parser.
I have following URL
http://www.davesinclairstpeters.com/auto2_inventorylist?i=37647&c=12452&npg=1&ns=50&echo=2
I want to retrieve content of this url using curl but everytime I make this request it is showing me error, as it is not passing required parameters
Below is my code
$ch = curl_init(); // start CURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $json_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
That page doesn't give any information stating that the information isn't being passed properly. In fact, it tells you that the information has been recieved - by viewing the source, you can see:
<!--
javax.servlet.forward.request_uri = /auto2_inventorylist
...
javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path = /auto2_inventorylist
...
javax.servlet.forward.query_string = i=37647&c=12452&npg=1&ns=50&echo=2
-->
Which tells you the information has infact been recieved.
Therefore, it's no problem with your code, but with the website itself. You should make sure the URL you are using is valid, or contact that website to get more information.
With regards to your code itself - the curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); isn't necessary, as this is already set by default, and you can also pass the URL as an argument of the curl_init function. Doesn't impact performance, but makes for neater code.
$ch = curl_init($json_url); // start CURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
You code is perfectly fine and if there's something wrong returned, simply paste this URL to your web browser and check the result. In this case website simply failed for some reasons. There's nothing you can do about that as problem is NOT on your side.
This URL yields a page of cars with links to more cars. Looks like the URL you're starting with is old, or has some sort of expiration factor that's not obvious.
Not knowing which sort of filtering parameters you're shooting for.. hard to say what else my be wrong, other than your starting URL be bad.

Can you help me get this content spinning API working? It was wrote to work with C# but is there a way I can get it to work using PHP? I've been trying to post to the URL stated on that page using cURL, but all I'm getting back is a blank page. Here's the code I'm using:
$url = "http://api.spinnerchief.com/apikey=YourAPIKey&username=YourUsername&password=YourPassword";
// Some content to POST
$post_fields = "SpinnerChief is totally free. Not a 'lite' or 'trial' version, but a 100% full version and totally free. SpinnerChief may be free, but it is also one of the most powerful content creation software tools available. It's huge user-defined thesaurus means that its sysnonyms are words that YOU would normally use in real life, not some stuffy dictionary definition. And there's more...SpinnerChief can only get better, because we listen to our users, We take onboard your ideas and suggestions, and we update SpinnerChief so that it becomes the software YOU want!";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, 9001);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
Can anyone see something wrong I'm doing? Thanks a lot for the help.
The value for CURLOPT_POST should be 1, and the posted data should be set with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.
I have one problem regarding CURL.
I am trying send CURL request to http://whatismyipaddress.com
so..
is there any way to get curl response in array ?
because right now it display the HTML Page but i want the response in array.
here is my code...
$ipAdd = '121.101.152.170';
$ch = curl_init("http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/".$ipAdd);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
So.. currently i am getting the detail HTML page but i want the out put as array or XML.
The "easiest" path is going to be to find the surrounding text & extract based on that.
If you're willing to step your dedication to this up, you can use something like http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ & go from there.
edit: actually you can use this (it is built into php5) - http://php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php
more specifically, this - http://www.php.net/manual/en/domdocument.loadhtml.php
