I'm having trouble retrieving data from the google api. When I run the code, it only returns a blank page and not a printout of the xml array. Here is the code:
$url="http://www.google.com/ig/api";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "?weather=london,england");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
I think that the problem is that you use POST method, and not the GET
Try like this
$url="http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=london,england";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Hope it helps :)
EDIT: And yes, you have to do some extra parsing to get the data from the XML string

I am trying to fetch data from webservice(nodejs) using curl in php but i am getting result "lang is required"
i tried with following code but not working for me where i am wrong ?
Here is my code
$post = ['lang'=> "593f973dea53161779dd5660",'password'=> "amit123d"];
$ch = curl_init();
$url="http://xxxxxx:8000/api/employer/login";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($response);
echo "<pre>";print_R($result);
Usually to send post variables i use : the http_build_query function.
$url = "http://xxxxxx:8000/api/employer/login";
$post = ['lang'=> "593f973dea53161779dd5660",'password'=> "amit123d"];
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($response);
echo "<pre>";print_R($result);
It works better.
first check the request whether send post field or not.
$post = ['lang'=> "593f973dea53161779dd5660",'password'=> "amit123d"];
$ch = curl_init();
$url="https://httpbin.org/post";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($response);
echo "<pre>";print_R($result);
the site: https://httpbin.org/ will response the post field if the post data exists.
I think the problem may occurs the nodejs side. Does it check the post field rightly ?
from my experience your code is right.
I want to retrieve XML data related to weather.
For that i use this API for it.
https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text=%22Kandy%22)
I tried to di it with CURL in PHP
This is my code
$url = "https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text=%22Kandy%22)";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // get the url contents
$data = curl_exec($ch); // execute curl request
curl_close($ch);
$xml = simplexml_load_string($data);
print_r($xml);
But it retrieve blank output without any of text. Please help me to sortout this problem.
You need to initialize the cURL request like this:
$url = "https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text=%22Kandy%22)";
$ch=curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // get the url contents
$data = curl_exec($ch); // execute curl request
curl_close($ch);
$xml = (array)simplexml_load_string($data);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($xml);
echo "<pre>";
I am trying to get the title of this broadcast from twitch API but I am not sure very much about code.. I have the following code here.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print $result;
and here's what it outputs.
{"mature":null,"status":"Broadcasting LIVE on Justin.tv","broadcaster_language":null,"display_name":"Test_user1","game":null,"language":"en","_id":22747064,"name":"test_user1","created_at":"2011-06-02T20:04:03Z","updated_at":"2016-04-19T21:00:05Z","delay":null,"logo":"https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/test_user1-profile_image-ac0a2f0d39dda770-300x300.jpeg","banner":null,"video_banner":null,"background":null,"profile_banner":null,"profile_banner_background_color":null,"partner":false,"url":"https://www.twitch.tv/test_user1","views":99,"followers":1,"_links":{"self":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1","follows":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/follows","commercial":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/commercial","stream_key":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/stream_key","chat":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/chat/test_user1","features":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/features","subscriptions":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/subscriptions","editors":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/editors","teams":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/teams","videos":"https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1/videos"}}
I am trying to get the portion that says "status":"Broadcasting LIVE on Justin.tv" how can I go about doing so?
$result is encoded in json, you can decode it using json_decode, i.e.:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/test_user1");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$decodedJson = json_decode($result, true);
echo $decodedJson['status'];
//Broadcasting LIVE on Justin.tv
I'm new to PHP and am currently struggling to set this up. Could someone provide me an outline of how you use curl to post and retrieve the returning data?
I tried this out:
$url = 'http://localhost:8080/ds/stuff?maybe=false';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, $string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
But I keep getting the HTTP status 405 Error
(aka this):
Am I doing something wrong/what should I do? Or do I have to change something in my ds/stuff
You should set CURLOPT_POST to true. POST data goes to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.
$url = 'http://localhost:8080/ds/stuff?maybe=false';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
working code
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://###.#####.###/####/####/T0103/templateCustomWebPage.do?webId=1209221452326&editCurrentLanguage=1209221452328&customWebPageId=1292822288140001019");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;[/code]
but if i use url from database than its not working.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $r->url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;
following error will be display...
parameter is wrong ,please check your input url.
Your input URL:
http://###.#####.###/####/####/T0103/templateCustomWebPage.do?webId=1209221452326&editCurrentLanguage=1209221452328&customWebPageId=1292822288140001019
Thank you in advance!
Your url is stored with html entities in the database. The CURL call doesn't accept those.
Try this:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, html_entity_decode($r->url));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;
I've added html_entity_decode
