my curl function cannot follow the redirection of Facebook external link redirector, l.php and i have no idea what's wrong...
here is the code that i'm working on and i commented the lines that i've tried... and an example link (http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGvhFyNLK66A%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&h=xAQFD_3svAQFKxF5YrtqNQ5cL3lIQxo0uaC9PoB7qAvG7Yw&enc=AZPxNZ8P5q54FREC37UC_MP02pwh2DOmsI5bbFkoQm5VUPUlYeNzQASjarRjhTtcedRkmM3mDjK7J_r_P5pRpYhL)
function connect($u) {
$ch= curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $u);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'spie');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
$source=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $source;
}
thank you..
I first thought this was a redirect issue with cURL (safe mode enabled for instance). But it actually comes from how Facebook redirector works.
There is no Location: header, so curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); won't help you with it.
The Facebook link page actually redirects you using Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">document.location.replace("http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GvhFyNLK66A&feature=youtu.be");</script>
cURL cannot analyse the content of the page nor execute javascript so this is exepcted behaviour. If you still want to do this, you'll need to parse the content of the page, grab the URL from the javascript, and issue an new cURL request to this URL.
Apparently only HTTP redirects are supported by cURL with the '--location' option.

I want to set cookie throw curl request. I used this code but the requested URL return You must enable Javascript and accept cookies. what Im doing wrong here?
cookie.txt file is 0644 permission
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $base);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, $base);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$str = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
The problem is not your code, it's that the page you're trying to access works only by executing javascript. CURL doesn't support that, it just downloads the HTML code of the page, but doesn't execute any javascript.
If you're in the need of retrieving information from a website that needs to execute javascript, you need to rely on solutions that provide headless browsers, like Selenium
Guys, I am currently working on file hosting premium link generator basically it will be a website from where you can get a premium link of uptobox,rapidgator,uploaded.net and other file hosts sites without purchasing the premium account. Basically, We are purchasing the accounts of this website on behalf of the users and offering this service at a low price. So when I was setting up API of direct download link of rapidgator I was able to get that link but I was getting session is over. I was trying to that API via a software, not via manual coding and I am facing this problem
So I have been getting Rapidgator API reference from Tihs Site:- https://gist.github.com/Chak10/f097b77c32a9ce83d05ef3574a30367d
So I am doing the following Thing With My Debugging Software And I am getting success response but when I just open that URL in my browser it shows Session Id Failed.
So Here Are Steps What I am Doing
Sending a post request on https://rapidgator.net/api/user/login with username and data and I am getting this output
{"response":{"session_id":"g8a13f32hr4cbbbo54qdigrcb3","expire_date":1542688501,"traffic_left":"13178268723435"},"response_status":200,"response_details":null}
Now I am sending a get request (I tried Post Request Too But the Same Thing Happened) on this url with session id and URL embedded in URL https://rapidgator.net/api/file/download?sid=&url=
and I am getting this output
{"response":{"url":"http:\/\/pr56.rapidgator.net\/\/?r=download\/index&session_id=uB9st0rVfhX2bNgPrFUri01a9i5xmxan"},"response_status":200,"response_details":null}
When I try to download the file from the Url through my browser It says Invalid Session and sometimes too many open connections error
Link of the error:- https://i.imgur.com/wcZ2Rh7.png
Success Response:- https://i.imgur.com/MqTsB8Q.png
Rapidgator needs its api to be hit three times with different URLs.
$cookie = $working_dir.rand();
$headers = array("header"=>"Referer: https://rapidgator.net");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rapidgator.net/api/user/login");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip, deflate');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "username=email#domain.ext&password=myplaintextpassword");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$rapidgator_json = json_decode($result,true);
return array($rapidgator_json['response']['session_id'],$cookie);
http://rapidgator.net/api/user/login (this is the initial login)
Above link gives you a session id that you need. The response is in JSON
Now we need to request a download link that will allow us to download without having to log in to a human input form. So we will use its api to request a download link using the intial session id we got from the 1st url.
$headers = array("header"=>"Referer: http://rapidgator.net/api/user/login");
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rapidgator.net/api/file/download?sid=$rapidgator_session&url=$rapidgator_file");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, 'gzip, deflate');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $working_dir.$rapidgator_cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $working_dir.$rapidgator_cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$rapidgator_json = json_decode($result,true);
return array($rapidgator_json['response']['url']);
Basically, we pass the session id Rapidgator gave us assuming you have properly passed a valid account. Then we include the source url you had obtained (Link to file) http://rapidgator.net/api/file/download?sid=$rapidgator_session&url=$rapidgator_file
After that. Rapidgator will return a JSON response with an url that u can use to obtain the file in question. This allows you to use whatever download method you want
as that link is a session url is valid for a short period of time.
$rapidgator_json['response']['url']
All code above is somewhat incomplete. Some extra checks on the json responces for possible errors/limits are recommended. I used functions on my end but this is enough for you to see what you should be doing. Rapidshare API has other data that can be useful in determining if you have gone over your daily quota. How long the session url is going to last and so on.
Am trying to access an API using CURL
I can access the API from my browser.
But cannot get the data from the same api(using the same API key)
using curl.
I am getting this error.
403 Developer Over Qps
Please let me know what can be the reason for this.
Earlier it was working. I am facing this issue for the past 2 days.!!
please check the code below:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.perfb.com/api/api.php?requestmethod=json&responsemethod=xml');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 900);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vJson);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($info);exit;
Qps means Queries Per Second
Are you hitting the server repeatedly with curl in a loop for example? Try adding a pause after each call and see if that works.
That error usually signifies that you're hitting the server too often (i.e. developer over allowed queries per second). Slow down your code, put some delays in. In browser, you're doing it manually, so it's likely quite a bit slower than your code.
With this code I'm trying to download this web page: http://www.kayak.com/s/...
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://www.kayak.com/s/search/air?ai=kayaksample&do=y&ft=ow&ns=n&cb=e&pa=1&l1=ZAG&t1=a&df=dmy&d1=4/10/2010&depart_flex=exact&r1=y&l2=LON&t2=a&d2=11/10/2010&return_flex&r2=y');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,"http://wwww.google.com");
$content = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $content;

As you can see the part with prices is missing.
What could be wrong?
This is not going to work the way you think it will. The reason is the prices are not in the initial HTML response that you get. Rather, there is some Javascript magic occurring which is using AJAX to load the prices when the page is loaded.
Basically, I'm trying to log into a site. I've got it logging in, but the site redirects to another part of the site, and upon doing so, it redirects my browser as well.
For example:
It successfully logs into http://example.com/login.php
But then my browser goes to http://mysite.com/site.php?page=loggedin
I just want it to return the contents of the page, not be redirected to it.
How would I do this?
As requested, here is my code
// create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginURL);
//Some setopts
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWREDIRECT, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERRER, $referrer);
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
Figured it out. The webpage was echoing a meta refresh, and since I was echoing the output, my browser followed.
Removed the echo $output; and it no longer does that.
I feel kind of dumb for not recognizing that in the beginning.
Thanks everyone.
Using cURL you have to find the redirect and follow it, then return that page's content. I'm not sure why your browser would be redirecting unless you have some weird header code that you are returning from the login page.
set CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION to false.
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION , FALSE);
this might help you.
