[Solved] Problems File_Get_Contents And Curl To Link Soundcloud

[movid]

Why every time I use file_get_contents and curl to url SoundCloud always display an error or a blank page .

 

Check my code :

 

<?php

 

$grab = file_get_contents("http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?q=Adventure&limit=5&client_id=7fda73e4303db4146b1b2145944d3e1c");

echo $grab;

 

?>

What error?

[movid]

Check this http://www.movid.gq/test.php

It looks like it's timing out. Are you using file_get_contents() or curl on that test?

[movid]

Yes I use two functions in heliohost, if I replace the link with youtube, works fine

[Krydos]

Are you using file_get_contents() or curl on that test?

[movid]

Yes i use it

 

I actually use both

[Krydos]

http://www.movid.gq/test.php uses both curl and get_file_contents?

Stevie is blocked by Soundcloud:

rax@rax.heliohost.org [~]# wget -O=sc.tmp "http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?q=Adventure\&limit=5\&client_id=7fda73e4303db4146b1b2145944d3e1c"

It never connects, sits for several minutes then times out.

 

On a local server of mine:

Looks good. That sc.tmp contains a JSON result.

On the command line you need to escape your ampersands like this

http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?q=Adventure\&limit=5\&client_id=7fda73e4303db4146b1b2145944d3e1c

Otherwise it breaks the command up and tries to run it in the background etc.

So, here's the problem:

72.21.91.127 # DOS 42 connections - Thu Jul 28 13:17:47 2016

Soundcloud doesn't have us blocked. We have them blocked...

[movid]

I thought so before, if SoundCloud blocked , so now it can no longer or can unblock it back?

[Krydos]

As soon as I unblocked that IP address the script works now: http://www.movid.gq/test.php

[wolstech]

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it when I looked closer and realized it chopped most of the arguments off.

 

Re-ran and post edited.

Thanks Krydos and Wolstech
