Accessing Google Bookmarks server side with PHP - php

Question

I used to access my Google Bookmarks, server side with this PHP code:
$curlObj = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.google.com/bookmarks/?output=rss");
curl_setopt($curlObj, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "whatever#googlemail.com:mypassword");
curl_setopt ($curlObj, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($curlObj);
echo $response;
curl_close($curlObj);
Formerly, with the code above, I would have seen an XML feed.
Now it shows "302 Your document has moved. Click Here".
The link takes me to a login page.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Answer 1

such authorization is no longer working. you need auth via https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin and after get https://www.google.com/bookmarks/?output=rss
example:
<?
$USERNAME = 'aaa';
$PASSWORD = 'bbb';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 120);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
'https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?hl=en&service=bookmarks&continue=http://www.google.com/bookmarks');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
$formFields = getFormFields($data); // my code to get form fields, ask if you want it
$formFields['Email'] = $USERNAME;
$formFields['Passwd'] = $PASSWORD;
unset($formFields['PersistentCookie']);
$post_string = '';
foreach($formFields as $key => $value) {
$post_string .= $key . '=' . urlencode($value) . '&';
}
$post_string = substr($post_string, 0, -1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
// echo var_dump($info);
if ($info['url']=="https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth")
{
die("Login failed");
var_dump($result);
} else {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com/bookmarks/?output=rss');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, null);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($result);
}
function getFormFields($data)
{
if (preg_match('/(<form id=.?gaia_loginform.*?<\/form>)/is', $data, $matches)) {
$inputs = getInputs($matches[1]);
return $inputs;
} else {
die('didnt find login form');
}
}
function getInputs($form)
{
$inputs = array();
$elements = preg_match_all('/(<input[^>]+>)/is', $form, $matches);
if ($elements > 0) {
for($i = 0; $i < $elements; $i++) {
$el = preg_replace('/\s{2,}/', ' ', $matches[1][$i]);
if (preg_match('/name=(?:["\'])?([^"\'\s]*)/i', $el, $name)) {
$name = $name[1];
$value = '';
if (preg_match('/value=(?:["\'])?([^"\'\s]*)/i', $el, $value)) {
$value = $value[1];
}
$inputs[$name] = $value;
}
}
}
return $inputs;
}
