Getting content from website XMLHttpRequest in PHP
Question
I am having trouble requesting the contents of an URL in PHP. I've tried cURL and get_file_contents, but they return this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Pd3</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/assets/application-368cb37ed2535f71ae87f60f8f82622cc73d6d29c6deb2acf95e2cec635b7408.css" data-turbolinks-track="true" />
<script src="/assets/application-066584cdb59095baa3df04c44046e204dcdd182c5a470cc26f2edb8e9eb7c892.js" data-turbolinks-track="true"></script>
<meta name="csrf-param" content="authenticity_token" />
<meta name="csrf-token" content="v6QnPq6M6ZjiE9OCef0t31c2cwNYgp8W9hm4W8SxRkUYhSItyDeM5QvD/bflS22PcC4yx1jTFIixyRCwAiINTA==" />
</head>
<body>
<script src="/assets/pd3/vendor-a13cc6fe33668e1507bd5d4561f1b9f2d0b1840eba080e8c1163e50b370a449a.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/pd3/pd3-8b89ef5b8b417522ab05e24635511996d570c00af8ad2f2ae9715226d88f4db9.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/assets/pd3/vendor-e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="/assets/pd3/pd3-e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855.css" />
</body>
</html>
When browsing the site normally, the source looks like this (which contains the data I need):
{"user":{"id":"873752","userid":"873752","username":"TomTastic","registered":"2015-09-17T10:34:24.412Z","wagered":50019914433,"profit":328426591.8411,"bets":39696,"wins":19709,"losses":19987,"win_risk":99523652,"lose_risk":98590521,"messages":769}}
I did some fiddeling around in Chrome developer tools, and I think that the content I need is from an XMLHttpRequest, called by one of the JavaScripts. Referencing the scripts with the full URL didn't work. I've tried using simplexml_load_file(), but I don't really understand how it works (and I think I don't need it) Please help me, I am about to rip my hair out. The website is https://pd3.co/users/TomTastic (some random user to test with) Thanks!

You have to set the value of the Accept header of your request to application/json .
Here you can see how to do it with curl: How to send a header using a HTTP request through a curl call?
