在不使用Curl的情况下在PHP中进行API调用

Question

I want to make the following API call in PHP:

https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search?indent=true&filter=%28any+type%3A%2Fcvg%2Fcomputer_videogame%29

How can I do so without using curl?

Answer 1

使用PHP方法： file_get_contents() ： http ： //us1.php.net/file_get_contents

Answer 2

This returns json. You should use json_decode() and file_get_contents() for this.

Example:

<?php

$file = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search?indent=true&filter=%28any+type%3A%2Fcvg%2Fcomputer_videogame%29");

$json = json_decode($file, true);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($json);
echo "</pre>";

?>

Answer 3

If it's a simple GET request, file_get_contents can do that reasonably well :

$return = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/search?indent=true&filter=%28any+type%3A%2Fcvg%2Fcomputer_videogame%29');

Provided you can process the return body (depends on content-type), and do not need to process errors/special http headers/authentication.

Answer 4

Use " file_get_contents " with the right configuration.
